Today has been a very interesting day in Columbus, Ohio as the McDonald All-Stars continue to prepare for their game tomorrow night. The news of the day started to unfold when Jodie Demling reported on his blog that CJ Leslie told him that Cal has said he's losing 5 guys to the NBA draft. Chad Fisher later confirmed that Doron Lamb said that Cal told him the same thing.
If that does happen, it appears that the only returning players will be Miller, Liggins, Dodson, Hood and Harrellson. Wow, that's a tough pill to swallow folks; it really is. But wait, there's good news today too...
Jonathan Givony of NBA Draft Express, who usually has good info, tweeted today that he believes CJ Leslie and Brandon Knight are both locks to join Coach Cal in Lexington. That would mean that Cal would assemble another Top 5 Class with three 5-Star recruits (Kanter, Leslie, Knight) and one 4-Star (Poole).
Also, Cal said on his radio show last night that he plans to add 5 or 6 new recruits, which means that there could be one or two more additions other than the rumored Knight and Leslie. So while the mass exodus to the NBA is most likely a reality, it seems Cal is very close to restocking the Big Blue cupboards already.
Either way, we can probably start saying goodbye to some kids that have truly been all-time UK greats, while saying hello to another batch of kids that will continue to return UK to glory and restore order to the galaxy.
