Curious, what classwork did unc provide that failed to properly teach PJ Hairston how to properly "role" through local traffic stops with marijuana and handguns, all while driving an automobile furnished as an impermissible benefit by virtue of an arrangement between unc and a convicted felon?

So Danny Green, James Michael McAdoo and Harrison Barnes are better team players than Anthony Davis and John Wall? AD and John got drafted first overall by terrible teams. Danny Green went to a team that had won four rings already. Tell you what...four Tar Heels were drafted in the lottery in 2009. None of them have done anything of consequence. Talk to me in four years about the accomplishments of Towns, Cauley-Stein, Booker and Lyles.
“Last year we started the season with a goal,” he told the Alltech Rebelation crowd. “You may think that goal was to win the national title and win all the games and be… It was to get eight players drafted.”

Where did I say I didn't like him? You and your alter ego, brianpoe, have reading comprehension issues, or just like making up stuff to prop up you argument.
I have been a Cat fan for almost 50 yrs and I sure as hell don't need any advice from young punks like you.
You failed again. It doesn't say that was the only goal. It was a goal, not the goal. I'll give you a second chance to trash the team. You will fail yet again. Why? There is no such quote. There is nothing that says one goal was more important than the other.
Fail again and we'll just have to drop you in the 'dumper' category and consider you a marginalized fan.

You are sick, but I think I remember you now and had forgotten that.
Try re-reading the post, even though you have no objectivity. I'll type slowly. Cal said, "we started the season with a goal. You many think that goal was to win a national championship and win all the games. It was to get eight players drafted".
As I have stated before, I understand why he said it, but guys like you and the "poe" couple are ignorant to try to twist what he actually.
Maybe you couldn't hear him clearly with head stuck up his ass.
Danny green was in the 2009 draft and has at least one NBA championship ring....in the NBA that is considered an accomplishment of consequence. Probably right up there with his setting the record for made 3 pointers during the NBA finals.
Ok. Marginal it is. I'd hoped for better. A more robust litany than just a single sentence or two. So much for objectivity.
That was a good goal don't you think? Fits well with the others like winning the SEC, National Championship, Going undefeated (a goal since 2012). Then there are individual player goals. Self improvement goals. Academic goals.
Perhaps a narrow mind can only see one goal. I wouldn't know.
Oh, I heard him quite clearly. I'm just not stupid enough to believe there was just one goal. I've never read anything that would lead an objective mind to believe there was just one goal. A bitter mind might do that. One that can't see past a single loss season.
Are you so narrow and bitter? If so, maybe Duke or UNC would be more to your liking. The coaches will blow smoke up your butt all day and tell you exactly what they think you want to hear.
Just for clarification Poetax is my dad and wonderful grandfather to my kids. I served in the first Gulf War so not so much a kid anymore.
And I would love to see you use that tone in my presence.
You constantly whine and cry about Cal and get defensive when called out.
Perhaps we should meet for tea and try to resolve our differences? I guarantee you would be much less of a tough guy that way.
I'd say the same to you for getting so worked up about a game a bunch of college kids play.
You are wasting your time. Jnewc2 is one of the biggest clowns on this board. He is one of those ignorant fans who despises UK basketball and Cal and loves the football team.
the funny part is this is for uk fans exclusively. no normal person thinks going undefeated and winning it all wasn't the goal. it's impossible, as the historical relevance couldn't get any higher.
there's no common sense for forde. things change. for players/momentum's sake coaches say lots of things. forde wanting to get in a quoting war over a non issue...no one cares. no one will quote his article for any meaningful reference.

Although...Seth Greenberg and Jay Bilas did tweet in reference to him. It's great when real bball folks defend Cal against pathetic writers trolling for hits.
as for forde in general, what a waste of time. he designated himself the inside guy if cal ever cheats. he doesn't like kentucky, but cal is what this is about. he's betting on cal to screw up. he said this when he was hired. he wants to be the guy that gets the first interview/column if we cheat. he actually believes this is a possibility.
so while things are just going along means nothing. he's just giving us his reminder that he's there waiting for things to unravel. and so far we learned about unc and syracuse etc and we're in the final four every year. sorry pat. we probably have the cleanest program in the us because of all the scrutiny. he never did understand that cal and uk was going to be a recruiting monster in name alone. he missed the boat.
the only thing else to talk about is the player's first thing. which no one cares about coming from him. there has been a national dialogue for years now about the one and done, and the feeling that there may be a rule change. this is the only thing that matters, but pat is not eloquent enough to incorporate an editorial having to do strictly with nba/ncaa product philosophies. so what you have is a boring attack piece. yawn.

You take every opportunity you can to get your brand out there. I thought you said you knew how marketing worked? If you want to interpret it that way, go on ahead, but when you make it public, you open yourself to the deserved criticism.
How much did Harrison Barnes and James Michael-McAdoo have to do with that team winning? You're just reaching now. There is no question who is putting the most players in the league, and most of them are better than the recent Tarheel draftees. Would a lot of our draftees still accomplish what they did without Cal? Maybe, but we'll never know will we? You're just wasting everybody's time.
McAdoo, not so much, but Barnes is a starter on that team...I suspect his teammates and coaches feel pretty good about his contribution.
There is a quarterback who went to five consecutive Super Bowls, four as the backup to Jim Kelly and one as the backup for the Chargers. I guess in your mind his five Super Bowl appearances trumps Dan Marino.
Ummm...and why should a UK fan give a rats about what "non UK fans and AVERAGE fans in general" think?
And to take Sloner's post one step further, when Chuckster states "isn't what college basketball all about" he does not take into account that college bball is different everywhere.
Here at UK we win a bunch and have kids drafted.
UNC it is about cheating and then lying about cheating and then denying the cheating.
Kansas is about watching can't miss kids not get drafted and being upset in Round 2.
UL is about having players better than John Wall but not being able to beat UK.
Duke is about doing things the "right way" and then of course mimicking UK, making our way the right way and taking credit. And lets not forget flopping.
With all due respect, I'm not following you...
Danny Green and Harrison Barnes are starters on the past 2 NBA championship teams. Are you saying if John Wall, and the Wizards, won the NBA championship next year and he set the all time NBA finals assist record it would somehow be less than a NBA championship?
Your nonsensical question is confusing.
And for the record, for all of Dan Marino's talent, he never won a Super Bowl.

Even though a thread has already been posted about this, I'm linking it here as well. I think it is fairly pertinent to the discussion.

This^^
Self is horrible with top talent. I remember warching Wayne Seldon in HS & thought he would be a scoring machine at KU. He was better his freshman year. This is typical under Self.
Harrison twins are the only 2 elite HS players that never did really thrive under Cal. But Cal did something to them that I don't think any other college coach could achieve: made them team players. It probably hurt them but it helped the teams in their 2 years.
But most of Cal's elite HS recruits do something the mostly do not do at other schools: they live up to the hype
You're insinuating they are better players just because they are on winning teams, which they clearly are not. They were lucky enough to get into scenarios where they could be role players on winning teams.
I've never insinuated they were better players, but you're insinuating the past 2 NBA championship teams pick their starters based on "luck"?
Your position is laughable...
Try as you might, UNC has more NBA championship rings than any program in America, UK is barely a honorable mention on the list.
I'm sure when a Calipari UK player finally wins a championship, if it ever happens, you'll be dismissive of their contribution because of their status as a "lucky role player"...
LOL
Wow!! Cal's a freaking genius. Norlander gets it...Cal had in-homes Thursday night with the likes of Monk, Simmons...etc.
If you can read that article & don't understand that as Cal runs a "players 1st" program...THE PROGRAM benefits more than if it were a typical (Willams, Pitino) "program 1st" program.
So UK fans....get it! Now relax & enjoy as Cal builds a basketball empire.
Your insane!! HS school recruits are looking at Towns, WCS, Lyles, & Booker.....NOT Green & Barnes...lol.
Wall makes more $$ than Green & Barnes combined.
There is no disputing UNC has more players with NBA championship rings.
Wonder how many of those players would have even been eligible to play college ball had UNC had any integrity since Dean Smith decided to create the Cheating Carolina Way?
UNC does not have more championship rings than UCLA. And as for your last statement, Derek Anderson and Antoine Walker won a ring with the Miami Heat. Neither contributed much, so you won't hear us bragging about it. It would be the Helms Title of NBA accomplishments.
I remember when Roy showed Julius Randle his rings in their in-home...Randle wasn't impressed, they lost ground.
Your insane!! HS school recruits are looking at Towns, WCS, Lyles, & Booker.....NOT Green & Barnes...lol.
Wall makes more $$ than Green & Barnes combined.
Dude...
Harrison Barnes was the top high school recruit in his class.
UNC also has more accreditation probation titles, books from professors and staffers exposing their cheating ways, players accusing them of cheating, players suing them and more players than all schools combined that received fake credit hours and grades.
