Does anyone know if Dakari has signed with an agent? If not, I sure wouldn't mind seeing him back in a UK uniform next year.

It's way too late for that. Once he started making $25 for each one of his signature's he was officially a Professional!

Dakari was determined to go to the pro's and it looks like he will go late first round early second. Here is that latest on him.
Sophomore center Dakari Johnson is projected as the No. 38 overall pick.
He hasn't received as much playing time as Towns, Cauley-Stein or Lyles, but his scoring and rebounding production (adjusted for minutes played) is second only to Towns.
"His production has been really solid," Givony said. "Listen, when you have (as many guys as) they do in the frontcourt, it's hard not to get lost if you're not a focal point. We've seen Karl Towns get lost earlier in the year. And they kind of switched the focus a little bit more in his direction. It's natural that if one guy steps up, another guy is going to take a step back. And I think that's kind of what's happened with Dakari. But he's had some good games this year, especially early on, I thought he was maybe the most productive guy in the non-conference (schedule).

When the competition wasn't so tough he did well. I think he's waiting for those new Jordan elevator shoes they are working on. It has a button on them that when you push it you can jump a foot higher than normal. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

So if he gets these shoes that would make his vertical leap 1 foot.

Not quite. I think it would be 1 foot, 2 inches.

Dakari has been going around the state of Kentucky on the autograph tour for which they get paid so I think that alone nullifies any future he might have in amateur basketball.
