lol you obviously cannot read since I stated that you used a 16 year olds words.
Alright, I’m moving on. Will report back when I get a sufficient number of posts.

Cal loves taking credit for something that he had very little to do with. How many players who played for Cal wouldn't have made it to the NBA without Cal's coaching? Every one of these guys would have made it no matter who they played college ball for. Most would have made it right out of high school.
Kentucky will always be Kentucky. Not exactly breaking news.
75% the threads on the board right now have posts referencing Arkansas, our recruiting, and/or our Coach. It’s a shared experience, of course people want to talk about it, the only thing weird is how hard some people try to be offended.
Rose and camby had infraction activity that helped get them there. So who knows without that assistance if cal ever gets those guys.
Also fair to point out he had wall, cousins, etc committed to Memphis. That's no small feat.
Cal was and is a good recruiter but it's obvious UK took him to an entirely new level.
No, I just didn't waste my time reading past the first couple words of your drivel.
Is using the words of a 16-year-old less honorable than using his ability to play?
To read anything out of that quote is kinda silly. It's just a recruit saying nice things about a school thats on his list. They all do this, even about schools they know they won't be attending.
You all remember the new assistant coaches are two of the most connected coaches in basketball. UK will recruit
With one championship.
Cal is still a great recruiter
but the shine is off as you know.
The Zion Williamson class at Duke translated to Cal not getting the players he wanted . That was 2018-19. Start tracking Cal's decline after that.
Kids are going to go where Cal is because they know he'll lose games in order to get them ready for the NBA.
You have to ask yourself if that is the kids UK really wants? A coach that doesn't care about the conference tournament, a coach that refuses to teach players sets and defenses that give the team an advantage in college simply because it isn't used in the NBA.
If Cal was a baseball coach, all his players would be hitting with wooden bats.
Kentucky has to prove something in recruiting - every program does, but few programs, well none really, can point to a history of players coming to UK and experiencing the near fanatic following of basketball.
Players aren't going to run into Arkansas fans at their high school game 600 miles from Lexington asking them to commit to the program.

You just posted the following "The greatest program of all time", but you can't trust a recruit who says the following about the aforementioned program "...Because That's Who They are". Maybe AJ isn't the one who's post should be questioned.
He won't see another one unless he hires someone to coach his recruits. It will be interesting to see how many 5-star players he can attract without the aid of Kentucky.
You just cannot stop. Do you want to see my diploma or pics from multiple final four / tournament games I’ve attended. I’ll PM them to ya if it’ll shut you up.
Thought the new coach was supposed to bring unity. Instead, it’s more pitchforks if you post anything, logical or not, that is not 100% with the agenda.
Yea ok. He recruited at Memphis and he's recruiting at Arkansas
One player saying something doesn't mean that's actually what he thinks
Actually boozer didn't have good energy talking about it. He said cal was all he knows about ky he was the reason for ky success
It only means something if it supports your position/agenda/opinion. Who gives a rat's butt about his recruiting when he did nothing with it? It was all wasted. It is obvious that he is good at talking and horrible at coaching. Recent championships were won with far less talent, so what is your point?
There are two Boozers. I am talking about the one who plays guard. He is the one who asked to be contacted. By the way, what the hell is good energy?
Unfortunately this guy doesn't know UK is a mid major now. Nike's flagship is cooked. We don't have the NIL resources either. And it's ALL because of UK fans. If only we could've kept Cal for another decade, smh.

Something that's been fascinating to me over the years, and proves how good a (snake oil) salesman he is ..... how he became known as this great highway to the NBA. Was with the Nets about two years with a record of 72W - 112L. Those are not all star coaching type numbers. I wonder how many of these young H.S. players know that. I'm sure that's not a part of his recruiting spiel.
These people are either 12 or trolls or both.
You obviously didn't get the message that kids like him are only being polite if they say something good about Kentucky since Cal's departure. Lol
You just insulted 12-year-olds.
We’ve had a lot of fans from other boards to be UK fans coming here since the cow story broke
Especially when you look at the world through a negative lens. You know nothing about this kid yet the first thing you do is throw water on his comment.
Saying someone is just being polite is throwing water? JFC.
This board is so sensitive to anything tangentially connected to Cal. Somehow I’m anti Mark Pope and/or a troll now. The majority of people’s public comments in recruiting / coaching searches, etc. are reserved comments. In no way am I saying anything about this kid.
By all accounts seems like a great kid.
Considering you are quick to defend yourself against every post, you must be sensitive too.
Where did I say anything about Cal or Pope? I was referring to your dumb comment about the kid just “being polite”. I suppose this kid is “being polite “ too.
I am. If it’s being inferred that I’m attacking the character of a 16 year old kid, of which I’m not, I feel the need to defend myself.
Yes i understand that he broke your brain. I was talking about his ability to recruit at different schools and how his ability to get top players here was exponentially higher than other schools.
