| Why would he decide that before even letting the scouts look at him much? Is he that excited about Calipari? He only gets one chance to test the waters... |

| Oh well - welcome back UK. Sad day. It's crazy how fast they go from being an NIT team to a top 10 team - potentially top 5 as the freshman mature. I figured there would have been some rebuilding involved. | |

Or, at least, people don't think they deserve to start there. | |

If Robbie Hummel's healthy, Michigan State isn't even the best team in their own conference. | |

In that case, I agree with them over Michigan State, especially considering that I forgot about Bledsoe until right now. But I think Michigan State got a couple decent big men who, if they can help offset the loss of Suton, could keep them ahead of Purdue. | |

| With Patterson, and most likely Meeks back, with or with out Wall UK will be 9 or 10 deep if not more depending how the freshman pan out. If Wall signs I agree they could push KU as the preseason favorite to win it all. | |

| If Walls signs - I just don't see it happening - but that would be the most unbelievable class. | |
