December 11, 200619 yr I've heard this some where before... :sssh: Yeah. But I seem to recall that writer getting a very hostile response …
December 12, 200619 yr Works in theory, but there will be more than 1 team interested in Randolph. And what leads you to believe that they care about PR? Is it their relatively new dress code? Why go through the trouble for a bench rider?
December 12, 200619 yr Why go through the trouble for a bench rider? To lock in a #1 Draft pick before the lottery even begains!
December 12, 200619 yr Morris is quoted already saying that he will not do this. I just so happen to believe him. Until the season is over with I won't worry about Morris leaving. Now whether he leaves after his junior year or not is another story.
December 12, 200619 yr Morris will not leave...The only way he does leave would be say this team all of sudden just really sucks and cant make the tournament, but that is not going to happen so no chance of him leaving. Yeah money talks, but he is not going to take the money to go from being the star player on his team, to sitting on the bench and hardly playing. He could have the best of both worlds as soon as the college bball season is over in the beginning of April, because he could play all year for UK and then after the season is over he can go straight to the NBA and start getting paid...
December 12, 200619 yr I don't think any NBA team would want to be labelled with the rap of "stealing" a college player to sit on their bench. Morris is not ready to contribute in the NBA and it would only be PR nightmare for any team that tried. A Western Conference official scouted Morris against the Tar Heels and couldn't believe his eyes. This was Randolph Morris? He watched Morris deliver a 10-for-11 shooting performance against Carolina's lottery-pick frontline of Tyler Hansbrough and Brandan Wright and discovered a transformed player. "He outplayed both of them," the official said. "He was the best player on the floor. Listen, I couldn't stand this kid for two years. He was out of shape. He didn't seem like he cared at all. But from what I've seen out there, most teams can't get a guy like Morris in this draft. You just can't find quality bigs out there. "Everyone has something to think about right now. You'd take some heat for signing him, but hey, the rule is the rule. He's available."
December 12, 200619 yr Morris would be foolish to leave. Its half way into Dec... only 3 months left. Keeping polishing your game Randolph, you will be a millionaire in 6 months.
December 12, 200619 yr I dont think he leaves in the middle of the season. The Morris' aren't hurtin for dough and the family values education. After the season may be a different story but I highly doubt he would leave in the middle of UK's season.

We won't see Randolph in a UK uniform next season, but he won't leave mid-season. NOTE to TUBBY: RECRUIT SOMEONE TO REPLACE YOUR CENTER!!!
December 12, 200619 yr There's no doubt he'll stay. I mean, it's not like we have any evidence that he'd leave UK for money. Wait...

December 12, 200619 yr I think you love to hate - UK basketball. Nah. Just love to point out contradictions in arguments...
December 12, 200619 yr Nah. Just love to point out contradictions in arguments... YOu seem to point those out a little more frequently when UK basketball is involved :jump:
December 12, 200619 yr YOu seem to point those out a little more frequently when UK basketball is involved :jump: Maybe you just notice more because it's UK. I'm a jerk all over this board...
December 12, 200619 yr Maybe you just notice more because it's UK. I'm a jerk all over this board... Well, I was trying to be nice, but now that you pointed it out for everyone!
