I can't understand that reasoning. We made the Elite 8 his freshman year and were odds on favorites to get the NC game his sophomore year until Marshall went down. He started from day 1 and was adored by most of the fans. I would say not having two 7 footers in the post would affect his decision more than something to do with Barnes, but then again, he could see that as an opportunity. It's not like he won't be getting plenty of attention and airtime if he goes to UNC. And of course, Roy can coax him with the "next Jordan" carrot...

"Barnes is having a good pro year, though. I don't know if that's an indictment on what UNC couldn't do for him...or what it did."

He's having a solid rookie season and I suspect he'll get better. I doubt he'll ever be an all star, but he'll be a solid starter and earn $8-10 million a year...

We should've drafted him instead of the retarded Kentucky kid.

while Gilchrist may not have proven himself yet, at this point I'd still take him over Barnes

Right now Barnes is the second best rookie on the court he is Golden state best wing defender, and his numbers match up with everyone outside of Lillard

Shame TMD doesn't post in here or he would had quickly let everyone know that Drummond is having a monster season, statistically. His rookie numbers, to 40 minutes, is in the range of Shaq's and The Admiral's rookie numbers.

"Kentucky will be stacked next year now that Noel will be back"

Now that Noel will be back? Are you kidding? I've not seen nothing that gets a kid to cash in like an injury. Hate it for Noel and for UK fans, but if anything will focus a kid's mind on the real prize, it's a potentially career ending injury. And that real prize ain't college glory...

well that game confirmed my fears

and yes, UK will be stacked next year

no, Nerlens will not be there.

I didn't watch much of the second half. Harrow was scared. If your PG is scared, you're not going to win a game.

What are you hearing, ecat? All I could find was this quote from UF's Young:

"His leg was wobbly, knee looked dislocated," Florida center Patric Young said. "It was gruesome. I don't want to think about it."

Cal was overheard telling Donovan his knee popped out. They took out him in a wheelchair.

I guess he can get drafted hurt but he will be out 6-8 months, so might hurt his draft stock,
