January 14, 201016 yr I was recently talking to my son who is a sophomore at UK and I made the statement that John Wall appears to really like life at UK. I then said what if UK makes it to the Final Four and loses; would John Wall return next year to take care of unfinished business? He said I was crazy. Maybe I am, but who's with me? Would you be satisified with a Final Four appearance and NO championship to have John Wall back next year or do you want the ring this year and John Wall, it was nice knowing you? I like having the guy on my team so I'm taking a Final Four and no ring and John Wall back next year? Am I crazy???
January 14, 201016 yr I would take the Championship this year and say good luck. As much as I like watching Wall play, there is no guarantee we win it next year with him although we would probably be favorites.
January 14, 201016 yr Take the championship any time given the chance. Funny thread though, my friend who isn't a UK fan was watching the Florida game with me and he asked which would I choose of this scenario: championship this year in basketball AND uk loses to UT in football AGAIN next year OR final four appearance AND UK beats UT and finishes reg season as SEC East Champs. I took scenario 2!
January 14, 201016 yr You should most definitely take the championship. That's the goal. It wouldn't be logical to say you would rather have the final 4 and him back next year because their is no guarantee you win the championship next year. If you could get the title, get it, and say goodbye.
January 14, 201016 yr To me its a no brainer...take the eighth championship. It's like in euchre, the rule of thumb is to always take trump when you can.
January 14, 201016 yr It's crazy but I don't want Wall to stay. He's going to be the #1 pick and shouldn't turn that down IMO. I love him at UK and what he's done for UK, but I also want him to do what's best for him. So I say 2010 National Championship, build in 2011, and dominate with Gilchrist and Co. in 2012 and bring home another. Cal will need the secret service if he can pull that off.
January 14, 201016 yr Always take the championship, BUT Wall is gone no matter what happens. And I wouldn't want him to stay.

I took scenario 2! As primarily a football fan, I would take scenario 2 as well. As far as just basketball goes, while I love watching Wall play, I would take the title and wish him well in the NBA. Coming back doesn't guarantee a title.
January 14, 201016 yr Title now!! When Wall and other Wildcats get in the NBA, that will help recruiting. Recruiting = Championships = Recruiting = Championships
January 14, 201016 yr He isn't coming back no matter what. The answer is easy, championship. I think it was more hypothetical.
January 14, 201016 yr Championship. No doubt. I'd take the championship and start from scratch if that was the alternative. I'm not giving up a chance for a ring.
