GYERO

I hate the idea of bringing in a 47% 3-point shooting juco. Terrible idea.

Loud noises. Grumbling.

(unless of course, he goes to Louisville. Then the bitching and moaning turns in to "Pitino knows you need shooters at the college level. Why can't Cal get one?")

Mychal Mulder?

Got a lot of respectable people on Twitter praising his game....1st Team JUCO AA.


Not sure how good of a sign all these grad transfers popping up is for our recruiting, but I guess you can't chance getting left empty handed.

In looking at the big picture, you don't think Cal scrambling to find a guard is indicative of some other recruiting news he's received (Newman maybe looking elsewhere)?

Whether or not he is a good player isn't the issue. At least to me, anyway.
 
Of course it's obvious that this means potential bad news on Newman. Nobody would choose Mulder OVER Newman. But if you strike out on Newman, you need a shooter. Why not cover all your bases?

Is it "scrambling" because we didn't know about him? It seems a lot of schools are interested in this kid.

Did signing Bledsoe mean we weren't getting Wall? Did signing Lee and Dakari mean we weren't getting Randle? etc., etc., etc.

It is ok to sign more than one player at different positions, especially when you just lost 7 to the NBA.

We might not get Newman, Brown or Ingram. But I'd try to sign this kid either way. He is a good scorer/shooter.
 
OMG WE'VE GONE FROM McDONALD'S ALL AMERICANS TO JUCO ALL AMERICANS!!!!

FAR CAL

Suggest you guys look up Dave Hopla if you haven't heard of/seen him already. Guy goes around to basketball camps and goes 500/500 sometimes... on "off days" he misses 2-3 shots. I'd say at least 100 are from 20+ feet out.

With that in mind- totally believable that Curry could hit 77 straight.

....quickly flip on the bedroom light switch, get 2-3 steps past, and realize it's dimmed halfway. Have to pause, stop, turn back around, and turn it all the way on.

Happens at least once every single day. Welp, every single day that someone else who lives with me is also in town.

Congrats on your two year anniversary in NEW ORLEANS!!!!
 
Well the Barker assault has went viral. I am seeing that about every 3rd/4th post on my FB feed. Of course, mostly UT fans.......except for one post by Earven Flowers. He shared it and Jared L, Braxton Kelly, Antonio Hall, Mike Williams and several other FB players are disgusted by Dubose/Baker.

Just found it interesting they even put the players on blast.
 
Thursday Shorts:

- Damn, that Barker video has gone national. Just saw a link about it on Facebook from the Washington Post.

- Had my mom's birthday dinner last night at Texas Roadhouse (sorry I didn't post pics!) and ran into freaking Goose Givens there. My dad was pumped.

- Mom turned 60. Starting to realize how old my folks are getting.

- Yeah, a big commitment any day now would be great.

- Finally checking out Rhinegeist on Saturday night. Can't believe I've never been. Hear it's a really cool place. Love their beer.

- Really happy for Anthony Davis. They'll probably get swept but I could see Davis just going apeshit on everybody.

- No, Female, you don't HAVE to go to this and this and this and this. You can blow off that happy hour and I'm sure your co-workers won't die.

- I love the phenomenon of "bride who can't come up with 3 girls to be her bridesmaids."
 
The NBA is an absolute far superior product to college ball right now and it's not even close. Obviously we are dealing with pros but the the way the game is played, the way the game is officiated & the pureness of the game make it that much better.

Looking forward to seeing how Davis & Wall do along with the overall action.
 
The NBA was an ish show in the 90's thanks to imitators of the Pistons Bad Boys championship brawling tactics. They cleaned that crap up, called games where the elite entertaining athletes with the ball could actually drive to the basket and make exciting offensive plays without being sent to the hospital. Smart, intelligent people recognized they needed to fix their product to make more money.

Sadly there are no smart intelligent people in college basketball wanting to make it better, or at least none with any power. The Pitinos, the Bennetts, the Ryans, the B1G T3N conference want to leave the game unwatchable rockfights with 15 timeouts taken over the last 5 minutes to micromanage & over-coach. Hell Pitino wants to make it even WORST with his moronic reinstate high schoolers to the NBA draft take.
 
Sounds like Brooks (no gyero) may be out at OKC, and Donovan could be on their short list. Probably premature to freak out if youre in Gainesville though

He's not Davis. No one is. But there's not a doubt in my mind he'll be the #1 pick. He's more advanced than Towns. Just the way he moves. Wow. Cal got another one.

He'll have plenty of chances to show off those skills when we're playing in the CBI POST-SEASON TOURNAMENT NEXT SEASON!

This last group we had was by all accounts nothing but a fantastic group of kids. Sandy Bell told the old man it's by far the best group of kids she's ever been around in the program. Yes sir/no sir. Well mannered. Not a bad bone in the bunch.

That being said, can we get some mean ass kids that want to rip your fng heart out ala Gilchrist & Davis? Ulis has it in him. Want some dog in these players.
 
O/U on how long it takes Chad to drop his first "Chuck/Chucky Matthews" He loves that shit.


-How awesome is Freddie Maggard, and having him become kinda the 'voice/authority' on UK Football over the past year or two? Something we've kinda lacked...would love to have him join Leach, as he's the best UK Football guy we've had since Van Note.

Naturally, he's a bit of a homer & *always* overly positive, but he breaks shit down like Mel Kiper when it comes to personnel.

- Really like Maggard. It's difficult to really understand the game of football but he breaks it down so fans like me can get a better grip of what's really going on.

He lost me though last weekend with the whole we have equal or better talent than 9/12 teams on our schedule. Believe it when I see it.

- Still in a funk. Now I'm kind of melancholy after being shocked and sad. I'm fine when busy at work and doing stuff around the house but during downtime in the evening when my mind wonders and there's not any college ball on I get sad again. Hearing the players' interviews on KSR doesn't help.
 
Just my preference but I want my UK Football new is a negative tone. I mean the news is usually negative so why make it positive?
 
Freddie's great and he is so great because he's knowledgeable, but also because he takes it so personally.

The latter is perhaps the key ingredient for a true UK football IMO. It has to really grate on you for me to think you're truly a UK football. If you're flippant about a heartbreaking loss or sometimes our complete ineptitude, perhaps it's best if you just go ahead and pitch a tent outside Memorial.

Yeah, pretty incredible Davis led his squad there with basically no (or injured) supporting cast -- something Russ didn't do.



Hell, just making the playoffs is a feat in the Western Conference, especially for a young team like that.
 
I've probably been to 75 or so UK football games over the years. And I'm completely worn out on it. No interest at all.

It was my one of my favorite things to do as a kid. Had a great run from 2000-2008, rarely missing a home game, and a ton of away games.

But I've got NOTHING in it now. Just feel kind of empty when I discuss the subject.

Good stuff.

Not the same, but I'm kind of like that with Bengals fans. If I don't sense you actually sort of, pretty much hate them, I have a hard time believing you're a true fan.

In related news, getting kicked in the balls 8-10 times per year has also gotten old.
