All that 5iveStar does is complain. It's who he is, it's what he does, it's all he's ever done. It's best to ignore it, because he doesn't particularly use logic.

Lmao.

I wasn't complaining. I've stated a couple times already, I'm interested in the pieces that we have currently & i have some hope for them.

Brah, just because i ruined you in another thread doesn't mean you have to follow me around throwing hate. So much salt running thru your veins right now.
 
No one knows what this team will be like next year. I don't really care what they are like until March, and by then I expect them to play well and win some games as always with Cal teams that have not lost their best player for the season.

We aren't getting Murray. This class is done unless Cal adds an insignificant 3 star project. It has been one big failure/disappointment after another from Cal and UK since the Final Four.

So with that said, with no other elite recruits coming in, we might as well start looking towards the 2016-2017 season. The sunshine pumpers will get their panties in a wad but our current roster is in no way a title contender. It's a Sweet 16/Elite 8 at best with the current roster. The lack of shooting and actual basketball skill is scary. I won't say we're NIT bound just because we have good pg's this time but it also wouldn't shock me if we ended up there.

The current state of the program isn't at its lowest of the Cal era but it's not all that far away. I'm starting to think going 38-0 did more harm than good. I can't put into words just how sick I am of the kids in the 2015 class.
I can never take your posts serious again.

Ulis scored 9 PPG per 40 and no, he doesn't drive to the rim. Its his biggest flaw - his hesitancy to go in the paint.

My worries with Briscoe is his efficiency. His lack of athleticism & average shooting skills can result in some woeful shooting numbers, even if his PPG totals seem fine.

Im not totally down on next years roster. I don;t think we'll be close to NIT bound. Sweet 16 seems like the ceiling atm, but a few players need to take a leap to have legit final four hope - Mainly Tyler Ulis & Marcus Lee.

- Ulis needs to become more aggressive and fearless on offense, because he has a great shooting touch. He needs to become a scoring option.

- Lee needs to actually produce, get caught up with the speed of the game ( its gonna be his 3rd year for christ sake) and put his great athleticism/length to use.

How does it feel to be entirely wrong about Ulis?
 
What we have is a great Center and 2 good point guards. Then we have a extremely athletic PF who is thin and has next to no skillset. Then we have another extremely athletic forward who has some skill but still isn't great. You also have Matthews who is athletic but a role player at best next year. And then Mulder, who is nothing more than a role player on a good team. If we have to depend on him to be one of best players and scorers then we aren't winning jack crap. He's a nice complimentary piece but not a great player.

I won't even mention Hawk and Willis because if they have to be regular contributors then the season really is lost. Unless they have a magical offseason and become brand new players.

This team has athleticism but only 2 reliable shooters, no pure scorers, and lacks skill overall. It's a team of athletes and that's about it.
Fail

I wasn't wrong. Everything i posted was right at the time. It was purely off his freshmen season. Eye test/stats backed up everything i posted.

Hell, looking back, i killed that post.

Try harder next time.

Malik Newman is better. He'd be averaging 20 points higher than Murray if he was at UK.

Yeah too bad we didn't get Murray, he's been playing so well for Oregon lately. But hey, that's reality and we just have to face it and now we're sitting here with a 17-9 record on the bubble. I hate to say it, but it might be time to find a coach who can recruit more consistently or else we are looking at the NIT every 3-4 years.

No you were bashing Ulis. You were implying Ulis couldnt get it done. And you were very very wrong.
 
Dang, dang, dang....as I have always stated. Do NOT try to BS the BBN, especially on this site. I have stated this to numerous posters over the years and will state it again. Posters on this site chase down airplane tail numbers (While still in flight I might add...). They are knowledgeable (For the most part) and they are the definition of FANatics. They know everything about the team to include prospective members and its coaches.
To illustrate, take this post that has been strung out to last on purpose. Years dudes, years is what it takes to regain your credibility, if at all EVER...

Do what you want to do (Some will get this reference) but you will be held accountable....longer than it takes to get a bankruptcy off your credit...jmuo

Go Big Blue...Go Cats!!!

Actually it only shows that you can't see potential in a freshman who was going to be one of best in the nation. So no you didn't kill anything but you did show your lack of basketball knowledge. If I was you I would give up trying.

The only failure/disappointment here is you.
 
The thing 5 Star didn't take into consideration about Ulis when looking at per40 stats is that we didn't have go to guys last year like we did this year. We deliberately tried to spread the scoring around, our leading scorer had under 12ppg. I know that 5Star was aware of that, but he failed to realize that Ulis would play a much bigger scoring role. His per40 for assists last year was over 7 a game. Ulis didn't look for his own shot like at all last season, he was almost purely a facilitator. So I didn't think 5Star bashed Ulis in any way, he merely underestimated his role and his ability to create for himself on offense.
 
If your intent was to make Zay or CUT-NETS look like idiots, chances are you wouldn't have had to go back more than three posts, let alone nearly ten months.
But it does go to show that it isn't a recent occurrence but rather a consistent pattern of bad posts with very little insight provided.

I'm gonna keep quiet .. I was wr wro wron I cant say it , on WCS . His game irritated the crap out of me on some nights and I'd post rather poorly worded stuff ( crap) . But he has made the league and is doing decent.
 
How cute another stalker of mine bringing back a thread from 7-8 months ago. At the time the thread wasn't all that wrong.

Besides, it's not like I faked my own death and have multiple accounts to talk about myself with. Ain't that right @W2R?

Yeah, it still hasn't stopped you from posting the other BS you have posted since then.

You still suck.
 
This is brutal
It's like the really bad Monte Python skits. WTF was that and how did they ever come up with that shit? Zaytcat seems like a fan that always see's the negative so you know he's been miserable for 6 of the last 7 years. To bad for him because it's a golden age for UK BB and it's fans.
