He spent half of it in rehab with a torn ACL.


More like one year, and that was last year. Fact: Cal didn't recruit him, want him, and had no intention of ever playing him. Not that I'm blaming Cal, and I understand the kid wants to play for UK, but he was a borderline 5 star prospect who has done nothing

Louisville brings back everyone except Siva and they replace him with a top 5 PG prospect. They are the favorites not Kentucky.

You don't just replace Silva.

But yes, Louisville will be extremely good next year.

An unproven 4 star on rivals replacing a 4 year contributor in Siva? Yea, not going to happen

I didn't really look around at other rosters, I was just basing it off of the talent they would have on the team. That would be a good Louisville team but with Siva gone, that means Russ Smith would have the ball in his hands more often which could be scary

Even after rehab he hasn't done much but I think it's more of how he's recovered versus Cal not playing him. I watched him quite a bit in high school and he doesn't have that spring/hop that he had pre-ACL surgery. Cal embraced guys like Darius Miller, Josh Harrellson, and even Jared Polson this season (a walk-on who earned a scholarship) so it's not like Hood hasn't had the opportunity to step up.

If the Heels land Wiggins, and everyone comes back, lookout.

He's rated #15 in the country by Scout. Either way Siva is replaceable

Pitino said Deng is gone and Bohannon is not liking school and may jump to NBA. Without Siva and Deng, the Cards struggle a bit.

Wiggins likely FSU. Randle about to announce (I think UK). Look for UK to get Hawkins on scholly with Archie and Alex returning.

We're in his final four. The only player that is even contemplating leaving is JMM. Hairston has already said that he was coming back. And then tack on the two big guys coming in next year in Hicks, and Meeks.

I think we only get one of the Randle/Wiggins combo at this point. Still will be nasty though.

No one cares where he's rated and no he's not.
