One and done talent or not, you're forever tied to that school and forever tied to that coach. We say, it's a one year decision, but for most of these players, is it really? How many of those one and done guys go back to their schools for pick up games, workouts, to be involved in special events, to even attend classes or lately, be on local radio shows?

 

I can only comment on what I see and hear about former one and dones doing at UK. I'd assume similar things happen at Duke or other schools. But it seems like they are often around much more than the one year that they are playing for the school.

 

Just cause they are one and done in their playing career, doesn't mean they are one and done with how they are tied to the University and Coach.

 

Agreed again.

I'm more of a Duke follower than UK, but hope Bolden choses UK. Have had more of my fill of this kid and his on again,off again decision making. If you can't make a decision immediately, I wouldn't want you if I were Coach K or Cal

 

I don't care if he takes until August if he comes to Duke. I'll happily welcome him into the fold. I don't think he makes or breaks Duke's season but I'd love to have him. I don't care how long he takes.

Is he One and Done? Ranked 16th by ESPN which would mean that there is a chance right now that he may not be a lottery pick...When you consider returning players that will be in the draft next season.

Yep it really doesn't matter how long it takes.

Agreed. Scholarship papers/financial aid papers are separate so as lone as he signs those he's covered. LOI just locks him into a particular school.

If you're going to post "agreed" I think you should like the post

Are there really UK fans saying "we don't really need him anyway", already???

I still think it would be funny if he picks someone else.

Me too. However I think Ben Simmons has ruined that from ever happening again. :lol2:

This is the only "fan" site I get on, so I've only seen this.

So does TCU.

Lee has cancelled his NBA workouts which could mean he's thinking of staying in school. That might be why Bolden changed to Thursday.

I agree. Unless he's simply given up on an NBA career and thinking of trying his chances in the foreign leagues. He could go the D League route but I don't think he'd go far there either, and they probably pay less than the average factory job.

This young man has been part of the UK family for 3 years. I hope fans make him feel welcome if he does decide to return for his senior season. I'd like to see Bolden as a Wildcat but wouldn't feel comfortable kicking Lee under the bus to see that it happens.

Considering the poster, that's far from the typical, "we didn't need him anyway" narrative.
