I read an article a couple of days ago (as I'm sure you did, too) about Kidd saying he's putting real consideration into returning. It's always hard to predict a kid's true intent, however. I still feel the sting every once in awhile of the promise made by Jason Williams the summer after his sophomore year to return to Durham for the remainder of his career. As a senior, especially if Dunleavy and Boozer had still left the year prior, Williams might have put up numbers that mirrored Chris Jackson. It would have been nasty. Can't blame him, though, even if it did all end imperfectly.
Gary Parrish stated, without getting into specifics, that he believes Kentucky, next year, will be as good as this year's team.
Who knows what that means. Who knows who the players will be. Who knows if that's all hype. It's impossible to predict so many things. However, the options are wide open as far as what the team will look like.
I mean combine the incoming class + Wiltjer and Harrow, at minimum, you have a top 25 team. Then you factor in an almost certainty that they will add 2 more top 10 players (Bazz, Noel, Bennett, Pollard), maybe more, plus remotes chances of anyone outside of Davis returning, and that's basically 8 bullets in the gun that will all be fired, and if just 1 or 2 connect, watch out.
We'll see. Funny to discuss next year before this year even starts!
