April 26, 201115 yr Has anyone heard anything crediable of late in regard to Jones, Knight, and Liggins on if they are leaning toward the NBA or coming back to UK since they declared for the Draft? Go Big Blue!
April 26, 201115 yr Has anyone heard anything crediable of late in regard to Jones, Knight, and Liggins on if they are leaning toward the NBA or coming back to UK since they declared for the Draft? Go Big Blue! I'm thinking its going to be pretty quiet until we get closer to the deadline to pull your name.
April 26, 201115 yr Has anyone heard anything crediable of late in regard to Jones, Knight, and Liggins on if they are leaning toward the NBA or coming back to UK since they declared for the Draft? Go Big Blue! I saw this from Chad Ford, ESPN: "A quick check among NBA scouts and agents reveals that virtually all of these players are far enough down the road with agents that it's impossible they'll return to school. I'm told Knight, Jones, Thompson and Williams are almost for sure going to stay in the draft." http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/blog?name=nba_draft

I think everyone has assumed Knight would be gone. Looking like UK may be only 6-deep again for 2011-12.

Looking like UK may be only 6-deep again for 2011-12. As I said earlier, the lockout has actually had a reverse effect on this year's UK class. They would not be projected as high if the elite guys were staying in the draft similar to most years. It benefits them more to leave now. None of these players are of the caliber of a Wall and Cousins, which you would expect to go.
May 4, 201115 yr ^Last week Harrellson stated he thought 2 of the 3 would be back. Andy Katz wrote an article stating that most scouts expect Liggins to return. Draft Express tweeted this morning: "Could Terrence Jones go back to school? From what I'm hearing that's a strong possibility. Would surprise a lot of people."

Will b e interesting to see how the rest of the week plays out. If both Jones and Liggins returned this team would be a monster.

May 4, 201115 yr As far as I know May 8th is the deadline.:thumb: Will b e interesting to see how the rest of the week plays out. If both Jones and Liggins returned this team would be a monster. I don't think there is any way that Liggins will be back, he has a family to support. Jones I believe will be drafted on potential, I don't really expect him back. I hope that I am wrong on both.
