For their respective conferences, duh.

Bam Adebayo didnāt hire an agentā¦could potentially still return to Kentucky
Knowing that Bambaās biggest priorities are relationship with the coach and alumni network, I feel better about our chances after hearing him talk in this video

Kind of interesting he said how personable Beilein is. Kidās done his homework and I can see why heās torn. It sounds like his best relationship is with Shaka and best network is Michigan.

Laughing out loud at imagining Beilein and Shaka in a freestyle battle. Finally a question that Bamba couldnāt spin to answer with every school.

3 guesses for Texas, 1 for Kentucky.
Jarrett Allen is done at Texas. Declared for draft and signed with an agent. Good that more guys will be projected before Wagner and wilson but bad that the spot is now open for Bamba.
Bamba to Texas makes a lot of sense now. That plus the Shaka connection
Of the 4 schools, heās locked into 30+ minutes a game at Texas.
Never thought I would say this but wish we had an extra scholarship for the late signing period. Just donāt want to miss out on the grad guards that we could potentially get.
If you were Beilein, would you grab the grad transfer of your choice while you can and worry later about how to sign Bamba if he wants to come?
Truthfully, IF he was waiting for draft decisions, wouldnāt he pick Texas in the immediate future if that was his choice?
If he doesnāt pick Texas in a week or so, makes me strongly think heās waiting to see what Moe and DJ do. What more is there to necessarily wait on for Duke and Texas?
Iām not sure that this is good for Texas re Bamba. An 11-24 team lost by far their best player. Is Bamba really worried about getting minutes? Does he want to be like Simmons or Fultz, who went for 23-6-6 and was barely noticed? Their incoming class is good but hardly a sure thing and not a Kentucky level class even with Bamba. I get the logic that that his minutes are guaranteed, but Iām just not sure thatās such a big selling point, especially with all the other factors.

it is good for us if Bamba make his decision sooner than later, so that we can going after a strong group of graduate transfers.
Especially when you look at a kid like Zach Collins at Gonzaga who averaged less than 20 mpg on a team that went to Championship Game and still is projected as a 1-and-Done First Round pick in this yearās draft.
Just pointing out, if Bambaās goal is the NBA, there are 1-and-Done routes there on strong teams w/o guaranteed 30+ minutes.
He doesnāt really make much sense, Iāll go ahead and say it.
He gives quotes saying players leaving or staying donāt impact him. Then he has a quote that says āJust thinking. Just waiting it out and seeing whatās best for me.ā If players leaving or staying donāt make an impact on his decision, thereās really nothing else to think about anymore.
I think he enjoys the recruiting experience to be honest with you, he wants people to speculate for as long as possible.

Hmmmā¦Jordan brand Jump-Man could it be a sign?
