Starting to feel eerily similar to when UK/Tubby were turned down for another year of prep school, followed by Notre Dame ... remember?
Remember when posters on this board were positive. I guess not since you were here posting.Have we fallen so far that now Kentucky reaches out to these recruits and transfers and loses them to Auburn, Texas, UNLV, and on and on? It wasn't too long ago, that our program making an offer to a player was considered something special and very selective. Besides all the jokes of whom we are reaching out to, the reality is the joke is on us.
I think it will work out.No one is complaining about the offers...it's just the timing, always the last to offer which means always playing catch up. Then all of the rejections and having to scramble to fill out the roster....like now
Great post. You hit the nail on the head.Whats hurt us more than anything is our shit fans spreading continous negativity like a virus. It's reaching recruits, it's reaching our players, and coaches. Nobody makes our program look more unappealing then are loud ignorant negative fans...The most frustrating thing is watching them all come running back like they never left when things are going well. Keep tabs on some of these clowns on this board. When we're contending next year for a championship watch how many jokers on here change their opinion over night.
What I remember is that Cal made a UK offer special. Prior that it hadn't been for a long time. But don't let facts get in the way of your narrative.
notre dame? huhStarting to feel eerily similar to when UK/Tubby were turned down for another year of prep school, followed by Notre Dame ... remember?
well I mean yeah, fans of the program will support the team when its doing well. Fans of a coach are more concerned with keeping tabs on these "clowns"Whats hurt us more than anything is our shit fans spreading continous negativity like a virus.

Sure. Just post all this negative stuff and then wonder why Cal is not recruiting as good as when he first came here. What an oxymoron?well I mean yeah, fans of the program will support the team when its doing well. Fans of a coach are more concerned with keeping tabs on these "clowns"

Easy to take care of the concern.This recruiting soap opera is all UK basketball is anymore. Its 9 months of recruiting drama and 3 months of actual substantive games. It's such a huge turnoff.
Yep. Start building with multi year guys. Come out and say it, address the deficiencies, and start the overhaul.Easy to take care of the issue.
Had he verbled here ? You said lost.Cal has got the UK program in such a mess. That it's starting to remind me of Tubby's last few years. I remember when Tubby lost a recruit to a prep school. Looks like we're headed in that same direction.
This.I wish I was as blindly ignorant as the OP, life would be much easier being a complete moron.
So apparently "reaching out" or "checking in on" now equals Cal offered them a scholarship and was declined. So laughably stupid it would be unbelievable except it happens every day on this board now.
Cal has offered 3 transfers a scholarship so far. He landed two of them and the third is Marcus Carr. Seems like a pretty good success rate to me.
Or quit watching since you hate it.Yep. Start building with multi year guys. Come out and say it, address the deficiencies, and start the overhaul.

Or quit posting in these threads since you hate them Nancy.Or quit watching since you hate it.
When have you posted something positive?I am a little surprised at some of the personal responses. For those upset or see this as a negative post (and I have posted positive topics when there has been something positive) it might be more valuable to present how you see things different given this is discussion board.
Lay off the football program and I’ll lay off you. Deal?.You have at least 3 times on different threads make some kind of jackass comment that I guess your audience of one thinks is funny. It's not and totally non-productive.
Pure gold man dont ever change1) Not sure how the 1st two posters in this thread are real Kentucky fans.
2) A UK offer is not special? We have a billion dollars worth of starters in the NBA right now with the name "Kentucky" signifying the highest level of quality and NBA readiness.
3) Duke is getting away with anything they want to so it is a very powerful lure for them to be able to tell a player to come there and the NCAA will turn a blind eye to anything... everything. That said, even under optimum conditions, Duke has struggled.
4) You give John Calipari the breaks K has gotten at Duke and Cal would have 4 Championships at UK instead of 1. Cal is operating under just about the toughest conditions possible for a coach and he's doing a fantastic job. Not sure if any other big name coach out there wouldn't have called it quits a long time ago.
5) Pearl and other coaches are great recruiters, too. Cal is the best ever but sometimes the other guys win. Especially when Cal is under constant attack from the Trump Capitol Storming UK nutcase segment that are intent on ruining our program the same way they ruined our country.
But we eat first, we don't play college baskball... we are college basketball.Have we fallen so far that now Kentucky reaches out to these recruits and transfers and loses them to Auburn, Texas, UNLV, and on and on? It wasn't too long ago, that our program making an offer to a player was considered something special and very selective.

I don’t think we are running a OAD model anymore.All of the 5 stars not named Damion Collins who is only here bc we hired Jai which is semi equivalent to hiring Cade Cunninghams brother. You cant run a OAD model and not get any OADs or else your team won't be good.
And now it’s more meaningless than it has ever been. That’s great Cal did some good things over half a decade ago, though. Wish he hadn’t fallen off a cliff and dragged the program with it.What I remember is that Cal made a UK offer special. Prior that it hadn't been for a long time. But don't let facts get in the way of your narrative.
What cliff?And now it’s more meaningless than it has ever been. That’s great Cal did some good things over half a decade ago, though. Wish he hadn’t fallen off a cliff and dragged the program with it.
lmao...what a dumb post, how had he "fallen off" before this year?And now it’s more meaningless than it has ever been. That’s great Cal did some good things over half a decade ago, though. Wish he hadn’t fallen off a cliff and dragged the program with it.
