Let's convince him he's number 1 not a standby option. Stop waiting on a date to the prom and come play where you're wanted young man.

Absolutely!!!!!!! I wonder what Coach Cal tells these kids to make them ok with sitting the bench when they could go to other good basketball programs and be stars?

probably says "do you want to be ranked in the top five and have a chance to win a national title"

I really think a player like Graham would be wise going where he is guaranteed playing time. UK goes after 5-star recruits... Graham isn't their 1st, 2nd, or even 5th option. If he were coming out of high school, he could try it out for 2 years and if he never cracks the rotation, he can transfer. But since he only has 2 years of eligibility left, it is way too risky to go to UK. Time for him is precious, and he can't afford to warm the bench for 2 years because that's all the eligibility he has.
I think he has a better chance of making it to the NBA coming to Cincinnati than he does going to Kentucky. He might have a better chance of winning a championship there, but it won't mean as much if he doesn't play big minutes. I'm not saying he can't play at UK, but his chances are much better here... |

An example of what a message board user said in regards to Graham: "No offense to the kid, but if he wasn't good enough for an offer the first time around, why would he be now?" Cincinnati is going all-out for Graham, the fans really want him, and he will come here and likely start right away. OR, he can go to UK, where the fans couldn't give a damn less about him signing, and scrap with a bunch of 5-star guys to make the rotation. Maybe he starts at UK and produces... maybe he never gets the chance he deserves because the roster is too crowded. He will be better served by coming to Cincinnati. |
