I doubt he'll try to leave again. I don't think he'd get drafted.

He can't be drafted. Hes a free agent from now on. It will depend on if an NBA team offers him a contract and what kind of contract it is as to if he will return.

You thought this was a long season. Just wait if Morris does leave.

IMO Randolph played a good game, not his best but very good. He just doesn't have much support.

Meeks played good enough for a Freshman off the bench.

Omar was totally out of control.

Crawford was playing his own game all by himself.

Perry played up to his potential.

Sheray Thomas was aweful, glad to see him gone.

Woo was out of his league.

Tubby got out coached.

You know what too, probably 5 years ago when people were down on the program and Tubby, others said. "**** he gets to the sweet 16 every year". "What are you complaining about".
But if this keeps progressing the way it has been, the next line we'll start hearing is, "**** you get to the NCAA every year".

My question is, when will enough be enough?
For me I've had enough. FIRE THE WHOLE BASKETBALL STAFF and the AD! GO BIG BLUE!

Does he plan on comming back next year?

Don't be surprised if Morris is signed by an NBA team in the next two weeks. My gut feeling is he'll turn pro and you just saw his last game....and hopefully Tubby's also.

I just noticed that everyone in that pic I posted just may be gone next season. Tubby and his entire staff, Morris, Perry, Woo and Thomas and even Stevenson possibly transfering. Interesting....maybe an omen.

With millions of dollars staring him in the face? Are you kidding?? You actually think he'd want to come back for more TubbyBall? Get real. Only a fool would risk injury and possible millions. Morris is history and hopefully Tubby also.

He sure has impressed scouts the past few games. McHale and Chapman watched him at the SEC tourney and he proved that he could play fisical and he played well in the NCAA tourney. It wouldnt surprise me to see him go. Tubby will be back next year but with a whole new staff, and if he does lose Morris he is looking at abou a 15 loss season. This will finally get him out of here, THANK GOD

i heard where they let him come back after he hired a agent they said he had to stay for his last year

Whether he stays or goes, UK will be the same next year as they were this year. Another 10+ loss season and early exits from both the SEC and NCAA tourneys. Nothing will change until Tubby, his staff, and the upcoming Senior and Junior classes are gone.

He had plenty of games where he had double doubles and still didnt hustle.I hope he goes pro.There is no future of going upwards with rANDOLPH LEADING THE CHARGE.

Jody Meeks and Randolph Morris are the best players on the team.

I think it would be stupid for Morris to leave this year. The NBA will be looking for players like Durant and Oden, not Morris....not this year.

Of course everyone is looking at Durant and Oden, but wouldn't it be nice to sign a player like Morris and not have to use a draft pick!! That is a big part of the upside to Morris in my opinion.

Randolph Morris was brought up on ESPN 2 show COLD PIZZA. According to Greg Anthony an ex NBA player said if he could be drafted that he would be a lottery pick. Although I know he will not be in the draft which might have teams looking to sign him now to help for a playoff run. Greg Anthony also said, that he was more physically tougher than Greg Oden although he questioned his mental toughness. Personally, I believe Morris can compete in the NBA and do well for a team. However, I would love for him to stay at UK because without him next year, UK will have a worse season than they did this year. I figure he will make the jump to the NBA maybe this year. But if not then I will be glad.

It is nice that they wouldn't have to use a draft pick, but if a team picks up Oden or Big Baby Davis(who just announced he will go into the draft) then they have no use for Morris.

I just don't think Morris is at the NBA level yet. Yeah, he does pretty well, but he does so on a team with basically no other stars. Bradley tries to be a superstar and simply is not, Crawford is hit or miss, and Jodie Meeks isn't at the level he could be in years to come. If you put a semi-good player on a team with a bunch of decent players, of course he will stand out.

And I'm not saying Kentucky is a terrible team. But everyone on that team needs to stay and develop their skills more in order to compete for an NBA contract.

Just wondering, do you think Big Baby is better than Morris, because I think he will be a wash in the NBA??

Do I personally think so? No.

He is favored more by the media though.

If Morris leaves and we whiff on getting Patterson and Lucas, next year's team could be one of the worst we've seen in a very long time (I'm thinking of Sutton's last team, right before the probation).

Our starting five would be...
- G, Bradley
- G, Meeks (or Jasper)
- SF, Crawford
- PF, Stevenson
- C, Carter

Morris will go pro. Was reading about Tubby's call in show and he said Randolph was exploring his options of turning pro. I just wish he would leave cuz he obviously doesn't want to stay at UK. Why keep someone on the team who obviously doesn't have his mind set on UK?

What about the team that needs a guard and a big man. There is always a need for big men in the NBA or any level for that matter. I am not saying Morris is as good as Oden, but he is an attractive alternative for a team that doesn't have one of the first 2 picks and can still get a viable big man and still pick up other first round talent.

You ALWAYS have use for another big man. Can you imagine the frontline of Oden AND Morris on the same team?? Morris at the PF???? MAN that makes me tremble just thinking about how scary good they would be together...
