[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=4][COLOR=blue]Hello NOB! I’m making this thread due to the fact i said i would. It seems like i was wrong about Knight only staying at UK for one season. I felt due to his academics and his demeanor that he would play two seasons. I think most people did. I defended him plenty of times and said that if he left after one year then i would make a thread saying how wrong i was. I want to first say that i appreciate all that Knight did for UK in his one season and i think he was a leader on the floor for almost every game. He took a slim benched squad with some issues and took us to the Final Four, with help of course from the other 5 or 6 guys. He set plenty of records and broke some of John Wall’s records set the previous year. He was the best pure shooters i seen at UK in awhile. I think Knight would of been in about the same position in the 2012 Draft if he would of stayed but i can see why some kids go for the money when it’s first offered. I didn’t think Knight would do it and i figured he would play two years and graduate. Coming from a kid that had a 4.3 GPA and hadn’t got a “B” in a class since like 6th grade. It would seem that the education would come before the money as he would easily still get paid millions in the next year’s Draft. I think Knight could of been one of the greats here at UK but i will still commend him on his only season he had here. I do disagree with the “one and done” rule but i think we really should press the NBA if we want the rule changed. I also see where Cal comes from in that he doesn’t make the rules up and he just finds ways to succeed within them. I also commend Jones for his loyalty to the BBN and sticking to his goal to win a title. I could tell he is enjoying the college experience. Even his mom said that he needed to come back another year to improve and work on some aspects of his game. With all that said i might not agree with Knight’s departure from Lexington but i do appreciate what he has done while he was here and wish him the best in the future at the next level.
GO CATS!!! :ukbball:
