Message: [QUOTE="doc05, post: 1972524, member: 2805"] That's pretty much what I gathered as well. These kids look at Kentucky as the pinnacle -- interesting in that video, he made it a point to say before the announcement that today was going to be a "historic" day for his high school. Obviously his high school produced Syracuse players before. But it's clear to me he and probably a lot of the folks around him thought the perception of UK was too much to pass up on. Remember he wasn't really on UK's radar like that until recently. Goes in line with his coach saying he was torn greatly about what he thought he "should do" (loyal to Gerry/Cuse?) as opposed to what he "wanted to do" (bright lights of UK pre-NBA factory?). I've said on here before that I would be a bit worried if Trae didn't commit to UK bc all indications pointed to this kid wanting attention and the spotlight -- which would bode well for a program like UK. Not saying these were the only factors, but it makes sense. [/QUOTE]
