I would be shocked if Bledsoe stays.

One report had Bledsoe projected at early 2nd round. He may prefer to go in the 1st round

Al, I don't know who projected that and when, but everything I've seen lately by the truly reputable sources has him in the first round, either late lottery or middle of the round.

But I would agree in that if he's not projected as a clear first rounder, he'll almost certainly come back.

Maybe after seeing all of the national recognition John Wall got as our leader, he wants to be the star of the show (Bledsoe). Coming back could vault him into a top 5 pick in a weak draft next year. Coming back is still a possibility from all accounts.

How can one team go 0-16 from 2-point range in a half? The engine must be broken!

How can a team go 0-20 from 3-point range? The coach in real life wouldn't tell his team to keep shooting them. The engine must be broken!

As I watched that game yesterday, several times I thought, "How long before someone comes in with the 'engine is broken' post?"

It's also a good chance to differentiate between HD results that show something is wrong (i.e. joco's team scoring four points in a half, etc.) and those that don't (a team going really cold).

I agree that Bledsoe shouldn't leave, but everything I've seen has him creeping into the lottery.

I'm sure it's possibility that he comes back, I simply think it's unlikely the way it looks now.

that being said, couldn't be happier to see Kentucky lose as well. Wall, Bledsoe, and Cousins are so good, but wearing a UK jersey is more than I can take

average duke fan isn't an idiot.

The way he disappeared in some big games (like his abysmal performance yesterday) makes me question whether an NBA GM would want to take him this year. He should enter his name in, go to the draft camps, see how it goes. Nothing to lose there.

draft express has Bledsoe ranked 36th overall. Wall #1, Cousins #3 and Patterson #10.

And why exactly is Huggs a scumbag? Because he got a DUI? 1.5 million people get a DUI in this country every year. He doesn't cheat in recruiting. He doesn't have affairs. So, what is your argument?

Kentucky better be hoping and praying that they pull Brandon Knight. If Bledsoe stays, pair him with Knight and Orton in the middle and you'll still be good. Worse case, Knight doesn't come, Bledsoe goes.

Stacey Poole will never be anything special, for someone who mentioned him as an impact player off the bench. Seen him in many occasions, he will be a good role player, nothing move.
