Tait: Don't expect Diallo back

Matt makes a sound argument for why Diallo, despite not hiring an agent yet, won't be back.

The only monkey wrench I can see in his argument is if Diallo learns he probably won't be round 1, and thinks the national exposure of another year at KU, with a chance to play and show his stuff, would boost his chances to be a solid round one pick the next year. That gamble could pay off handsomely for him. Of course, playing in Europe next year could do the same thing for him, so Tait is probably right that Diallo's gone - especially since that is the message coming from Diallo's people. That and the fact that apparently Diallo is no longer texting Self as he used to do.

Cheick, we hardly knew ye...

I wish Cheick all the best, but I do worry that this won't end well for him.

He lacks fundamentals, court IQ, and experience, and those things are hard to get at the next level (i.e., if you don't come in with them in the first place).
