May 1, 200917 yr Its not about the fact of him taking his time as much as the way he is doing it. He said he'd narrow his list down numerous times and has failed to do so. Now he is throwing North Carolina Central into the mix? I mean come on... And it also says everyone is now about even? He is straight playing everyone of us and loving that were all on the edge of our seat. He needs to get over himself...I say go after Bledsoe Kentucky. He isn't playing anyone. He wants to keep his name in the spotlight as long as possible. I would do the exact same thing if I were in his situation.
May 1, 200917 yr Where is that coming from? From everything I've seen, it's just a matter of him not having received the scores yet....
May 1, 200917 yr He isn't playing anyone. He wants to keep his name in the spotlight as long as possible. I would do the exact same thing if I were in his situation. He has changed his position numerous times. From saying Kentucky is a definitely possibility to now everyone is even? And how he would have his list trimmed by last week, then changed it to mon, then to fri, now mon? And he is adding North Carolina Central to his list? Wow....as I said earlier bring me ERIC BLEDSOE! And even Calipari said he wants "givers" not "takers". Wall is definitely a taker. We're begging him to come, not him wanting to come here...

If coaches would have that mindset they'd never get anyone. You do realize that his mother is sick, right? You don't think that is making him make a decision a bit tougher? You've never changed your mind about anything before? He's trying to make a decision, that is best for him. It's sad that fans get so involved that they start to hold malice against these kids because they don't make decisions quick enough, or for the school they want. If it's frustrating you so much, then why not just stop following it, or worrying about it? Do you still feel that Patterson feels he is bigger than the program? I mean he took FOREVER to decide. Bledsoe won't be eligible anyways, so that would be a terrible decision.

Bledsoe is more likely to play in JUCO than Wall is to be a 1 and done. Think about that for a minute. Just silly...

Bledsoe won't be eligible anyways, so that would be a terrible decision. When UK was in their prime back in the late 90's this was how recruiting was and I think they are getting back to that. Yes I know his mother is sick and wouldn't he want to get this done so he wouldnt have to worry about it anymore and could focus on his mom? I am a huge UK fan and follow everything they do, and I dont hold any malice towards Mr. Wall. My reasoning is what else does he have to consider and it seems like no one will answer that question. And that's my job to worry about it, I'm a UK fan come on... And in response to your Patterson comment, he wasn't publicly changing his mind left and right. He had 3 schools in contention the whole time, Kentucky Florida and Duke. Bledsoe is going to be eligible imo. He'll find a way to play next year. Now if that's going to be an ethical way or not idk. But if Liggins became eligible, then Bledsoe will be.

But if Liggins became eligible, then Bledsoe will be. I'm confused as to why you being a UK fan means you have to worry about it. He may not have anything else to consider, but WHO CARES! It's his decision, and if he wants to keep his name in the spotlight for as long as possible, then more power to him. Bledsoe has only one more chance to qualify, he's came up short every other time, and there have been many opportunities. If he doesn't get the necessary score this time, he will not be playing anywhere next year. That is a fact. There is zero way around it. You can't play if the Clearinghouse doesn't clear you, and they aren't going to clear him without the necessary scores. Not sure where you're getting that from.

Call me crazy but i'd rather have a legitimate shot at getting one of the best players in the country than have no competition for guys like Konner Tucker.

I have a feeling he will be eligible next year. That's just my opinion. Ill agree to disagree on that topic. Now to address the Wall delay, Im a UK fan and many of us worry about this stuff all the time. We follow everything that goes on in the program. And in response to your who cares comment, I could name about 10 different coaches and probably close to a million people who follow this and want him to come play at their repective school.
May 1, 200917 yr So are you saying that's a bad thing? Call me crazy but i'd rather have a legitimate shot at getting one of the best players in the country than have no competition for guys like Konner Tucker. Obviously I meant the elite players. The elite will want to come play at UK because its UK. And this should happen sometime soon hopefully.
May 1, 200917 yr For anyone who thinks Eric Bledsoe is the answer, you need to wake up. :thumb: He'd be a nice addition, but for those thinking he would be anywhere close the player Wall would be isn't living in reality.
