J.R. got shot. Did Bobby get shot also. Bobby did get ran over but it was a dream. OFC
Bolden didn't go from being a good kid to a self-serving attention-seeker over night. While anything is possible, I think we should avoid getting into that kind of speculation. Just no real basis for it --and, frankly, if his indecision was just driven by a love for attention, he could have gotten the most attention by committing during one of the all-star games. The fact that he's still undecided after all the big national showcase opportunities tells me that he / his family don't have a firm decision yet based on the info. they have. Maybe this is wrong, but this seems like a case where Bolden's family / coaches may have been pushing him in a direction (Duke) that he was never as sold on as the people around him; and he more or less didn't come to terms with that until it was time to formally commit. That's ultimately why I think it's UK. It seems to me that Bolden's long been more enamored with UK and would have committed there were it not for what those around him think -- which he's often said matters to him.
How do you know he wants to go to Kentucky? He said he wants to announce at his high school, if he does this week it will be Duke.
With his "family values" he should go to Louisville. Katina Powell has a great family.

Or if he wants a good education, he should go to UNC. They had an excellent AFAM program.

Or who shot Montgomery Burns. Who knew taking candy from a baby would be so hard?
No that's not what I'm saying. I think he knows and is waiting till he's comfortable telling.. I have no problem him taking his time
Speculating on what his decision will be is fair game. I do not think that all of the speculating on his reason for waiting is fair game. It is his decision to make on his terms and his time frame. He certainly hasn't been an attention hound at all. Who knows what his reason is. He has been a class act throughout and we should be too. Let other boards come up with negative garbage.
Until he announces for someone else, I'm with Show. He announces Duke when he gets around to it and I will relax and wait. Matter of fact, I'm a gonna grab me a beer right now.

Either one. It means I'm still alive.

Oh my that's tough. Why did you go and start messing with my head like that. I won't get a bit of sleep tonight now. OFC
Still one of the most debated questions. I'm in the camp that he was shot and the final scene of blackness was his actual pov of what he was seeing.
But they are last minute pitches. Hopefully Bolden has come to the conclusion 100% Duke and doesn't buy into any of his last minute desperate attempts.
I'm feeling good, not overly confident. Hopefully Marques and family don't buy into Cal's last minute tactics.
Well now that we know a 'lock' really just means an unsubstantiated opinion subject to change...Lol.
Bolden most likely starts Day 1 at UK, and is very unlikely to ever start over Amile / HG if they're healthy. Doesn't seem like a tough call. Given how short Duke plays it's bench, a quasi one-and-done is better off at UK, period.
^ While this is true, K's ideal lineup just needs a big, a stretch 4, and 3 perimeter players. Our presumed starting lineup essentially has two power forwards and two shooting guards, that is if you consider Frank Jackson to be a shooting guard.
Idiots on the UK board talking about how much better Cal develops big men than K. Most of those like Cousins, Anthony Davis, etc., we're gonna be top picks regardless. They try and act as if they became what they were because of that grease ball Cal. What a joke. One clown saying Cal just one upped K by showing him how it's done because Cal didn't force Lee to transfer but encouraged him to leave by trying to fulfill his dream of being a pro. Lollll. Cal got him out to make room for Bolden. Quite obvious.
I know I am in the minority but I really don't want this guy. From what I have gathered, if he comes to Duke, he will have been talked into it. If a prospect has to be talked into playing for Duke, I would rather him not come at all. In addition to that, he just strikes me more as a UK guy than a Duke guy. Lastly, I think him coming could mess up chemistry next year. As much as we would like to think that K will one day go 10 deep, it ain't gonna happen. He doesn't like to do it. Amile has potential to be one of the best big men in the country next year. Hopefully Jeter's hands will grow and he can contribute more next year off the bench. I will take my chances with Amile, Giles, Jeter, and Javin in the post next year.
