Mamadou Diarra & Donte Smith aren't returning to USC. Diarra is going to play pro ball in Europe while Smith is transferring.

Yeah, Donte smith will probably play div. II. I'm confused about Diarra leaving to play european ball. He wasn't even good enough to play here. I'm guessing that he was having a hard time in school or something.

I heard a rumor X is not visiting UK and could decide by Wednesday

adschofield · 04-20-2009, 12:07 PM

Basically if Wall doesn't graduate from his prep school, he would be eligible because he would be one year removed from his graduating class. However, if he graduated from prep school, that would be considered his graduating class, and he would have to wait a year.

Now it seems the Henry's will visit UK, this whole thing is a mess.

T-RICH49 · 04-20-2009, 01:17 PM

appearantly Self told X if he visited UK he was going to pull the offer.I hope that's the case.give me Lance who seems like he wants to come here

JRTPlaya21 · 04-20-2009, 02:59 PM

Gani Lawal is going pro

That's a good move if he is pulling his offer. I'm pretty sure that C.J. won't get the waiver to play at UK or KU, so Xavier may end up back at Memphis. KU is a great school and that's coming from a Duke fan. What Calipari moving has done to these recruits has made the Bryce Brown saga seem like a small thing.

JRTPlaya21 · 04-20-2009, 03:31 PM

Stephen Curry & Scottie Reynolds are going pro. Look for the official in the next few days.

It would...if Carl Henry didn't release a statement contradicting himself half an hour later.

JRTPlaya21 · 04-20-2009, 06:51 PM

Yeah you beat me to it.

dear lord just end this baby mamma drama already

adschofield · 04-20-2009, 07:40 PM

I want Lance. End of story. If Xavier doubts his interest, than this is not the place for him.

You'll be singing a different tune next year when X absolutely dominates.

Lance has handled this whole situation better then X has.X changes his mind every 30 minutes it's irritating.Lance seems like he wants to be at KU so give him the open scholly and be done with it

Yup Lance Stephenson is the biggest lover of himself. He is there for himself. He will take his 30 shots a game and leave after a year. For Maryland I still want him because it will shut up the Gary Williams haters, but I believe T-rich's reasoning for not wanting X is because he doesn't want a guy who doesn't truly want to play at Kansas. But if Lance really wanted to play for Kansas he would have decided ages ago. I still think he shocks the world and goes to SJU. He can take 50 shots a game, be the man, and like every New York city kid dreams of, play in the garden every night. I just can't see Lance going to Kansas with all the talent they have. It's not his style to take the backseat to anyone, whether it's on the college level or at Rucker playing with NBA players.

yep that's what I was trying to convey.from what I heard KU was looking into his website to make sure there were no possible NCAAA infractions coming .everything up until the Cal news broke was Lance wanted to go to KU

derza222 · 04-21-2009, 01:52 PM

I still agree with you STRIP. If he doesn't go to SJU where he can just jack up all the shots he wants and play in the Garden I think it's a mistake. It's just the best situation for his style of play and what he wants to do, and then if he can help bring them back a little bit that's just bonus points.

FWIW I think Scottie's just testing the waters, dunno if Curry is. May as well though if you're Scottie, not much to lose and he can find out what he needs to work on for his senior year. Not sure if he's ever going to make himself into a better prospect than he is now though, I think he's kind of maxed out and our guards coming in next year aren't going to help his production.

SeanTaylorRIP · 04-21-2009, 01:55 PM

For Scottie there isn't really anything skills wise he can improve on. The fact is his lack of athleticism will really hurt him at the next level. Coming back as a senior though will definitely help his decision making which at times is horrid.

At this point I'd rather have DeShawn Painter playing for the Terps next year than Lance and from the rumors I read, SJU is now his #1 choice, he just needs to make up his mind already.
