Bates

No. Just no.

agree. uber talented but way too much baggage at this point.

but juwan is close to the family so maybe juwan could straiten him out.

let's see what happens with moussa first.

I don't want any part of Bates either.

So I will go against the grain here.

I would take him. If he is a head case he will be gone in one year. If he is a stud he will be gone after 1 year. But we need someone for a year. Just like a grad transfer.

We need talented bodies. I am counting on Juwan keeping him in check.

EDIT
From what I read this morning he is almost a Louisville Lock.

No! No! No! No! No!

read my post above....


Not a fan of this but with moussa gone the writing was on the wall.

Juwan has been in with the family for nearly a decade. I think Juwan can "teach and coach" this kid. Juwan can guide him. we need the scoring but at what cost?

Now that diabate is gone I'm much more on board with this.

I was not a fan when I thought moussa would be back but I am now.

I predict we will regret this.

The only regret would be if he influenced future recruits to stay away.

I trust that Juwan will handle any issues.

Just like the guys going to the pros we have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. Just because we believe something does not make it true.

This is going to be a major rebuilding year. We lost 4-5 starters and the 6th and 7th men off the bench. So we lost 6 out of our top 7 guys. (Terrance Williams is one outlier) I am not expecting a whole lot this year.
