At that age they all think they're going to the show. And a talent like Booker...who's to say he isn't?

Isn't that where a parent should come in and help a kid make a decision, especially a parent that has a very good understanding of college recruiting and what it takes to make it as a pro?

By all accounts, Blackmon's a lock to UK. So unless Booker thinks Blackmon's a likely 1 and done (in Kentucky, he might be), I would think he would want to go to Mizzou and get PT for 2-3 years rather than potentially play behind Blackmon, or at least share significant minutes with him, for awhile.

But Arkansas thought the same thing about DGB. And 'they' are largely fans - fans are stupid. Always.

Regardless, nothing wrong from his POV w/ picking UK. Only the best program in the country.

There have been plenty of superstar high school players whose draft stock slipped significantly in college. None of they played at Kentucky for Cal.
Look at Selby. Think he would choose Kansas if he had it to do over?

Sucks but I can't say I blame him, the kid wants to win something and he won't do that at Mizzou.

No one is arguing that UK isn't a great basketball program. But Booker doesn't have the athleticism to be a one and done kid like so many other past UK 1st rounders. I don't think UK is a good choice for a kid that has talent but still needs some time to develop.
