Will Brandon Knight come back?

Earlier today Brandon Knight visited Conkwright Middle School in Winchester as a motivational speaker. He was greeted by cheers of "One more year" for several minutes before he gave his talk, in which he said right now he's 50-50 on returning to UK next year. He also spoke of the importance of education, mentioning that he has a 4.0 gpa, is academically a Junior because he came in to college with so many AP credits and could graduate next year if he came back. Knight said his goals were to graduate college and play in the NBA.

I have to admit that a week ago I was certain that Brandon was gone for the NBA, but statements like these give me a glimpse of hope that Brandon might be back next year. Of course Brandon can still graduate college if he declares for the NBA this year, and he may not have much of a chance at going higher in the draft next year than he is projected in this years draft, but the chance of graduating in 2 years and winning a national title on the most talented college basketball team ever assembled has to sound nice too. If Brandon decides to come back there will be dancing on the streets in Lexington.

Go Cats!!!
