Reasons Why Morris' Departure Will Help UK Basketball



In no particular order, a list of reasons why the loss of Randolph Morris will help UK basketball.

-One less ego for Tubby to deal with.
-One less freshman Tubby will have to spend time devloping.
-Hopefully, others considering early entry into the draft in the future (i.e. Rajon Rondo, Joe Crawford) will learn from Morris' (and Azibuike's) mistake.
-It will free up a scholarship, which should go to a very deserving Ravi Moss.
-Obviously he never really cared much about UK anyway. Not really an attitude we need.
-Hopefully, it will give Shagari more time to improve his game. Although I think that he is a lost cause and a waste of a scholarship, who knows what will happen? Remember, Nazr Mohammed was awful when he first came to UK, and now he has an NBA championship.
-John Wiley is happy because now Bobby Perry will be startng next year.

I dunno that Morris will "help" KY basketball by leaving, but it's good to look at the positives. I don't feel sorry for him. He sounded so confident of being a 1st-rounder, somebody convinced him. I'm glad guys like Maxiell and even David Lee got drafted (players with 4 years of solid improvement) while Morris didn't. Wish Chuck had gotten drafted, he played better than Maxiell in some of the camps.

I think this draft hurts UK overall because it's another time in we haven't had anyone drafted. Good players want to go to schools that turn out consistent NBA talent, that's a fact. Between this year and last year, it's not looking good in that department.

I dominate that wedding action on August 20th.

DC, speaking of KY football, I was on the Baylor campus the other day talking to some folks about Guy Morris. Apparently, many people hate him down there and wish he'd get fired. I told them how much we wish he hadn't left UK. They wish he hadn't either.
