So, that's one...

Probably so.


Marcus Lee announced he is coming back as well.

You're right, no coach wants upperclassmen that don't suck.

Calipari is hating this decision.

He only needs 2 current players to leave to make room for the next class. No way he's anything other than thrilled to have WCS back.

This likely further squashes the Cal to LA talk as well.

Cal squashed it pretty well already.

Lee, WCS, and Karl Towns at the 5. If Dakari comes back, you have some serious size down low for the Cats.

If the twins leave, then we will be hurting. Tyler Ulis has to reach up to tie his shoes.

Shocked me

That's going to be one formidable frontcourt.

Johnson is a very good with his back to the basket, WCS erases everything that comes his way, and Lee might arguably be the best athlete of the three.

I have a feeling Johnson is gone. Young as well.

Twins, I have no idea.

Young is a foregone conclusion, IMO. If the twins come back, that will be huge, but if not, there are rumors that new Assistant Coach Rohrssen could bring this kid with him. Otherwise, they need to go out and get a 5th year Senior transfer for backcourt.

Cal isn't sure how to coach a talented upperclassman.

Darius miller isn't doing to shabbily either.

Looks like, other than Randle, the NBA scouts aren't too high on the current crop of cats. Most of them to the D-league, if this article is to be believed.

I hate Kentucky.....but only out of jealousy

Per KSR, James Young has declared for the draft. I think he needs the $ now to take care of some things. I wish him well.

Didn't mean to say Young. Meant to say Poythress.

Really hope they (Johnson and Poythress) stay, but they'll be tempted because of PT and fringe nba advice.

The fact you mentioned Harrellson with those other two is kind of terrifying.

Didn't/Doesn't have much NBA potential but his senior year he really improved a lot.

Without him, we don't beat Ohio State in the tourney.

Jorts has played more NBA ball than either of us ever will. Without Cal, he wouldn't have sniffed the League.

Julius Randle just announcing that he's declaring for the 2014 NBA draft. No surprise, but best wishes to the young man.

Yep. He was a beast. Best of luck to him. Another year could have helped his court awareness. If the latest is true, the twins are gone too.
