1. I can prepare you better for the NBA than Pope can. Go ask ex UK alum Devin Booker.
2. BYU fans already love you. They aren't going to be impatient with you if you have a bad game. They know what you are and can become. Stay and become a legend.
3. All of your friends are at BYU. You will have plenty of years to plat professional basketball, enjoy time with your friends.
4. Having two different coaches banging the drum for you at draft time is better than 1. It gives you the chance to play in 2 different systems and learn different things. That will be valuable to you.
5. There are 10,000 fans on CB who will be let down if you go to Kentucky. Let's face it, these guys are rich influential guys who you want on your side for the rest of your life. On the flip side we know some who are absolutely nuts who you don't want on your bad side. I'm trying to protect you here Richie, work with me.
