I wonder if he ever thinks what might have been if he had come back for his soph year. A legit OAD...it would not have made much sense to come back, but with his leg, wonder if he ever wishes he had come back to experience/help out with this special season?

I'm sure he would have enjoyed playing here, but it was clearly his time to go. The freak injury (maybe not so freak, with his foot problems), going to the lakers, and millions of dollars prove that. If he wants to help UK, tweet about the games and how much fun he had while at UK... Recruits eat that up.

Can you imagine him with the rest of this team. He made the right decision and I'm sure he is fine with what he did and is not thinking what if at all.

He didnt share as much. We wouldn't have gotten Lyles. UL or IU would be better. He may have gotten injured. Poythress likely would have been injured.

Would love to have his defenisve rebounding on this team though.


He and Karl would DOMINATE the paint. Like PPat and Boogie.

I'd venture to say that if you had told Randle that he could go back in time, not go the NBA and break his leg and stay at KY, he would do so. I would.
Sure, that is a lot of money, but I'd rather have two working legs and get to play ball than the money.

It does beg the question, though, if someone said: you will break you leg and spend 8 months in luxury rehabbing it, or not break it at all. I think most people would choose no break.

Randle on this team isn't even something which could be conceived

no team we played would have had any chance whatsoever

Randle was a MAN on the floor last year

I asked him at a signing in Lexington before a game this year if part of him wished he was still on the team.

He gave a big a smile and said yeah. Nice kid.
