Mohammed Bamba commits to Texas

[dolamite]

Easy kid to root for.

 

Yeah, I hate that he didn't come to Kentucky but I absolutely agree. Great kid, brilliant mind, and its refreshing to see in a day and age of primadonna's. I knew all along Bamba was a different type of guy and his decision would be unlike many prep stars before him. I always hoped UK would win out due to the connections with Green, Hami, Vanderbilt, Knox, etc., but in the end I knew Mo would do his own thing.

 

 

I wish him nothing but the best!

Figured the longer this went, that it wasn't UK. Read his letter and he seems like a very smart kid that made the choice he felt was best for him. Best of luck to the kid.

 

Not so sure that the lack of development Bam showed last year, and him playing out-of-position as a back to the basket center; didn't factor in a bit as well. Jarrett Allen's improvement was cited often as a factor? Sounds like he liked their business program as well, and it can't hurt that he'll be featured?

@gametime doesn't need my defense, but I'll absolutely take his opinion over anyone else's on this board when it comes to recruits.

 

Agree. I always appreciate his info as I know it is something we can believe.

[AverageJoesGym]

That's fine, just not gonna take an insult from him.

 

You should. You earned it.

He'll be a one and done, but I can almost guarantee he will continue to work towards his degree while in the NBA. The kid is going to have a chance to make millions by 30 and then be set for life with his education. Keep sounding like a bitter UK fan. It's a great look. Promise...

Really enjoy your insight on evaluating talent. But, smug and arrogant doesn't look good on you.

[FarBeyondDriven]

Sounds to me that the kid chose what he feels to be the right fit for him.

Sure it does...

You should. You earned it.

 

The average man has jokes!

I like to go with what Cal says all the time to recruits "Kentucky isn't for everyone". It obliviously for whatever reasons wasn't for Bamba.

 

Good luck to the young man!!!!
