June 20, 200917 yr Well you're speaking so definitively. I'm just saying it could happen. If he isn't drafted I'm not even sure he would come back, but there's a chance he won't get drafted. I hope he goes in the first for his sake and ends all of the discussion. A lot of things could happen. But things like this are highly unlikely. I'm speaking so definitively because I'm that confident this won't happen. Like I said before, if it does, I'll gladly eat my crow.
June 20, 200917 yr Didn't the NCAA make Morris sit out half of the next year? Would they do the same thing if Jodie tried to come back? Either way I say he is gone whether drafted, NBA DL, overseas, etc. Morris had to sit out 14 games because he had an agency pay for some of his workouts. Morris was forced to repay the costs of the workouts & was then suspended as well. To the best of my knowledge, Meeks and/or his family has paid his way thus far. As a result, I don't think he'd face any suspensions should he return to Lexington.
June 22, 200917 yr I just read Chad Ford's draft preview on ESPN and he has Meeks NOT getting drafted...who knows?!
June 22, 200917 yr I just read Chad Ford's draft preview on ESPN and he has Meeks NOT getting drafted...who knows?! It's just my opinion, but I don't think Meeks wants to come back. I would have to believe that he has the same (or better) info as Ford and knows the exactly where he stands. Maybe it's wishful thinking on his part. Maybe he just doesn't like the college. Maybe he's worried about an injury. Maybe he just wants to get payed, even if that means going to Europe. We don't know No matter what. IMO if he wanted to come back to UK he would have already done so. Can't blame anybody for moving on to the next phase of their life. I think all we can do is wish him the best.

June 22, 200917 yr Does he still have Clark and Williams in the first round? Williams to Charlotte at 12...Clark to Detroit at 15
June 22, 200917 yr I just read through the list, and maybe Ford updated it or something but it seems he now has Meeks as the very last pick in the draft (#60) going to the Miami Heat (via Cleveland). He also says Meeks could go anywhere in the 2nd round. Ford said scouts have deemed him to be a little undersized for his position.
