Following potential 2015 draftees

Mudiay is to play overseas next year per YAHOO:

The nation's No. 1 high school guard, Southern Methodist University signee Emmanuel Mudiay of Dallas, will hire an agent and take a job playing basketball overseas next season.
Hours after Yahoo Sports reported that Mudiay was considering the move, SMU coach Larry Brown issued a statement that his top recruit planned to bypass college and turn professional.

"This is not an academic issue, since he has been admitted to SMU, but rather a hardship issue," Brown said in a statement.

Nevertheless, little evidence supports the Hall of Fame coach's assertion on Mudiay's reason for leaving SMU.

Mudiay had conversations with Brown and university officials about his ability to become academically eligible and withstand NCAA scrutiny into his amateur status to play his freshman year, sources told Yahoo Sports.

Mudiay's brother, Stephane, has been discussing potential representation for Emmanuel with player agents for the past week, sources told Yahoo Sports.

Mudiay, an explosive 6-foot-5 guard, has been projected as a lottery pick in the 2015 NBA draft. The Chinese Basketball Association has been discussed as a possible destination for Mudiay, a native of the Congo.

Mudiay attended Prime Prep Academy in Dallas. He was born in Zaire and escaped war-torn Congo before settling in the United States with his family.

UK compliance had told Calipari that Mudiay may not get past Sandy Bell if he chose UK. Questions of shadiness (I can name several others as well.. but won't at this time - Chris Walker is one).

That's why Cal immediately offered Ulis even before Mudiay announced.. recruiting is gut-wrenching and ugly thing, too often.
 
First, he thanked his mother for cooking so well because, you know, he’s “a big guy.” But then he quickly became more serious. When Towns began talking about his father’s sacrifices to ensure his son would have every opportunity, he fought back tears in giving example after example. The crowd of adults buzzed about the 18-year-old’s speech after the event ? and they didn’t even know he hadn’t planned it.

“I just ad-libbed up there; I didn’t think I was going to win,” he said. “I went up there and saw the hardware in my hand, and thought about all the hardships I had to go through. I thought what my family did. When they said my name, I was in complete shock.

“Going up there, I looked down at my parents’ faces and how proud they were, and I came down to tears. I was thinking about how much they had to do for me to piut clothes on my back and shoes on my feet. … I had to move constantly. I had to live with my sister. My parents were working so many jobs. All those things came to my mind at that moment.”
