Yesterday we learned that Lamb would return to UK next season in hopes of helping UK win its 8th national title. The news is not as good today as Knight, Jones, and Ligins have all put their names in the draft. None of them have hired an agent and don't plan to do so, at least at this point, so the possibility of all three returning to UK still exists. However, with other top players such as Jared Sullinger, Harrison Barnes, and Perry Jones all electing to stay in college next season, Jones and Knight have to be projected as high picks in the draft, possibly both being top 10 picks. The early entry withdraw date is May 8th, so we may have to wait a while before we know for sure what the trio will do. If all three remain in the draft UK will still be very good next season, however UNC will be stacked and probably be the consensus #1 team. If all return UK may be the most talented team in college basketball history.
