I think the "One and Done" boys are bewildered, they had not planned on losing ... I wonder how much that loss cost them in $$$$$$$$.
They'd better start thinking about it now.
With millions of dollars hanging in the balance, Julius Randle, Aaron and Andrew Harrison and a bunch of other Wildcats soon will have to make one of the biggest decisions of their lives. Their deadline to declare for the draft is April 27, less than three weeks away.
"Now that the season is over, it's about the players. It's no longer about the program," Kentucky coach John Calipari said after a 60-56 loss to Connecticut in Monday night's title game.
"It's about each individual player on this team now," Calipari said. "They sacrificed. They surrendered to each other now, for our team and our program and our school. Season's over. Now it's about them. And we'll sit down with each of them and they will make the decisions."
James Young and Dakari Johnson are also candidates to join Randle and the Harrison twins on the one-and-done path. Sophomore big men Willie Cauley-Stein and Alex Poythress also could declare.
"I love school. I love being at Kentucky," said Cauley-Stein, a 7-footer who missed the Final Four with an ankle injury. "I love the fan base. I love the community. I love the people there, so why not stay until they make you leave? It just gets better as you get older.
"But there are so many different things going through my head," Cauley-Stein said. "There's that other thing, millions of dollars, being able to work on your game, and only your game."
Randle, a potential lottery pick, said he had kept thoughts of the NBA at bay.
"Never talked to coach or my family about it," Randle said after scoring 10 points and pulling down six rebounds against UConn. "I'm sure it will be brought up, but I have no clue."
