The guy hosting the UK radio show said some of the following things following the press conference:
- Morris's brother could be transferring to GT (rumor)
- He may have picked UK because GT academics might have been too hard (wrong imo - Morris is a smart kid)
- The NBA could still be an option - he could still put his name in for the draft.
- Morris nor his family notified Coach Hewitt of his decision - the press conference today is when Coach found out
- As early as Tuesday, a Morris family member told Coach Hewitt he was coming to GT
- RM himself said he made the decision a month ago.
During the annoucement, he started off by saying he was declaring for the NBA draft, then he was talked about how GT was close to home, had recruitied him since 9th grade, etc, and that's why his decision was a perfect fit. Then he said that's why I'm a Wildcat as of now. Had the crowd in an up-roar laughing. Of course GT nation is not laughing now.
