Who stays, who goes?

They all come back.

I think Jones, Knight and Liggins enter the draft, not sure if any of them get agents though. I could certainly see Knight getting one.

[Big Blue UK Fan]

I hope that i'm wrong but I feel Knight, Jones, asnd Liggins are gone!

Go Big Blue!

I have a good source who says if Liggins leaves he's very open to idea of playing overseas next year.

He'd be an idiot not to be.

Jay Bilas tweet:

 

NCAA not wrong to lose "testing the waters." If you're ready to be a pro, then declare and go. Not sure? Then stay in school and prepare.

Right. Just confirming that he would be leaving to support his family and not because he thinks he'd be a high NBA pick.

Does he have a kid already? One on the way?

He has a very young one I believe.

That's what I figured. I dunno, I could see it either way, he could potentially improve his draft status a great deal with another season at UK, but it'll definitely put him in a better position for affter his basketball careers is over also. If he doesn't feel like he HAS TO GO, then I think for him there's just alot more upside to staying.

In an article in this morning's Enquirer, Calipari said he thinks Knight and Jones should test the waters but make sure it is the right thing to stay in. Calipari also said if you are in the top 10 picks you should go. Here is the story:

On other topics not related to this thread, Calipari reiterated what he has said often, that he has the best coaching job in college and that is why he never is rumored for other college coaching jobs. He did not refute someday possibly going to the NBA though. He also said it is just a matter of time before they win a title as long as they continue to be a top ranked team.

Ya saw this last night, landed on ESPN.com somewhere between 7pm and 11 om last night, don't remember when, just too lazy to post it. I figured it would surface on here eventually.

Hmmm ... that's interesting. ESPN picked up the story about a UK Alumni event in Cincinnati by a N. Ky. writer.

Or the other way around, check ESPN man, they time stamp their article's and they were pretty much the exact same. If you'd like I'll provide a link....

Jordan Hamilton, Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph have all declared. Hamilton is signing with an agent and Thompson is likely soon to follow suit. Thompson said at the banquet that if he declared he was signing with an agent. Joseph is testing the waters.
