You guys that think he is leaving are on drugs. Florida will match any offer and he would be crazy to leave. The Kentucky fans are ridiculously unreasonable. This whole charade is going to make Billy a very rich man though.

I agree with you. I think there is a VERY slim chance that he leaves. As I said earlier. Money will not be a factor.

what will he do if the 04's decide to go for a 3-peat?

noah, green, horford, even brewer...might all stay...believe it or not...

they sacrificed $$$$$ just for this year...Donovan matched their commitment by turning down the big raise last year...he would do the same again this year if they return...MARK MY WORDS

espn or fox radio (brain fart) interviewed coach pitino...who said quote..." on Billy's list of priority's...top 10...money would be #11."

Are you joking? The NIT tournament? Not even from the NCAA tournament?

Like I said, you people that are saying this is a done deal are on drugs.

There's no way all of them stay for another year. If they do they should have their heads examined. Not worth the risk. I like Noah as a college player but the guy has no shot. CBS did a nice job of showing how terrible his form is. The only way he can score is off of rebounds within 5 feet of the basket. With that said he can still be an effective NBA player but his shot is brutal.

What's better? Making millions on a horrible NBA team or coming back for another year for a three peat? Noah could use another year to make his game better. Horford and Brewer are definite lottery picks. These kids can take out insurance in case they suffer a career threatening injury.

I know Brewer could use the money. He needs to take care of his family. But if they do all decide to come back I don't think it'd be stupid. Sometimes money doesn't buy great experiences and a chance to do something truly special in college basketball.

Same can be said for Oden and Durant. so what if one stays? I don't think it's stupid for them to do it. You only get once chance at college. The NBA will always be there. Yeah sure you might get hurt but you could also die just walking down the street.

All that sounds nice but you are not dealing in reality. They are playing their last game in a Florida Gator uniform. I hope they win.
