Is BCG interested? I would hate to see this soap opera start up again.

No way Florida lets him go to any team in the SEC. I would bet OSU or Minnesota. IMO We will be ok at PG with Liggins and Galloway.

Despite all the early conversation I never thought Coach had all that high interest in Lucas (more of a Smith carryover). He doesn't fit the Gillispie mould.

I'd rather have Liggins. Let him go wherever. He had his chance to come to the cats and chose not to do so. He's a good player, but not a game-changer.

I say it again,,,,,,,,,,, the kid is fast.... thats it.... he's not 5'8 no matter what the rosters say.... I watched a 5'9' slow a$$ed white kids shut him down in HS and I still think he is not a good fit for the CATS....

He was highly recruited because of his genes.... Daddy an NBA Hall of Famer and his brother a former NBA player.....

Actually thought he would go to Oklahoma State out of HS anyway....

I agree guys - he is too small to play in Coach's system. We like em 6 6 or so and fast.! [Smile]

Kenny Boyton the 2nd rated shooting guard has commited to Florida and will be a beast next year. Lucas is not in his league and is doing the right thing if he wants to play college basketball.

He is a very good 3 point shooter and shot 43.5% from there last year so who ever gets him will be getting a solid point guard...
