Bamba and Knox to UK would equate to GOAT recruiting class

[KWilt43atbuzz]

According to 247, UK already has the following:

http://247sports.com/Season/2017-Basketball/CompositeRecruitRankings?InstitutionGroup=HighSchool

Diallo #9
Washington #13
Richards #14
Vanderbilt #20
Green #24
Alexander #35

With Bamba # 3 and Knox # 8 still in the mix to come to Kentucky.

If we get one of Bamba and Knox the class becomes arguably the GOAT and if we land both it's GOAT hands down.

Not confident we'll get either one.

 

[d2atTech]

Not confident we'll get either one.

if we do, i'm predicting number nine right here. HOLY COW.

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

Not confident we'll get either one.

Even with Cal pulling the strings?
Hmmmmmm

The 2013 UK class had the following recruits (RSCI composite rankings)

#2 Randle
#5 Andrew Harrison
#6 Aaron Harrison
#9 Dakari Johnson
#9 (tied) James Young
#18 Marcus Lee
Derek Willis
Dom Hawkins (Kentucky Mr. Basketball)

That class will be hard to ever top.

 

[WildMoon]

And i don't even think it'll be close.

But i doubt we get Knox and Bamba. We'll probably get one.

 

[ZZZZCat]

Does that mean we'll make the final four?

It was shameful.

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

Not really. Just stating facts about how our star players had bad games in the last game o the season.

You guys are not holier than thou I can assure you.

And guess what, I'll type whatever I want and neither of you can do squat about it.

Boom!

Depends if Higgins is around.

To answer that question we need to know who's calling the Elite 8 game.

Listen man, if you are just nuts, own it. I'll leave you alone.

But Sunday you were trashing OAD, called Quade a midget, and said this team would never sniff the Final Four.

Tonight you're back to your 40-0 self.

If you didn't mean it Sunday, were off your meds or whatever, explain yourself.

But you can't have it both ways. You can't trash the team and say they won't sniff a Final Four on Sunday, then 3 days later say they are going to the Final Four.

Without an explanation for your rapid turnaround in thinking, everyone will assume you are a troll. And why wouldn't they?

So, you want to explain your 180 degree change?

Good, stop trying to be the God of this message board when you don't even know or will accept that Monk having an off game was the reason why Ky lost to the Cheaters.

You have work to do my son...

Why have you suddenly turned into a attention whore? There was a time when you were a pretty decent poster.

Aike is probably one of this message board’s 10 most reasonable posters, and I’ve been here dating back to 2005 when I had another account. The fact that you’re being disrespectful to him is very telling.

He is simply wrong for calling me clownish because I said Monk having an off game cost U.K. Two prayer shots doesn't make up for that. You start with the name calling HS and I'll defend myself v you SOS.

No one on this board this side of Mods are given my respect. It's earned and Aike has a bad habit of name calling when people see things opposite of his views.

Again, not God and has a problem with name calling as you do too SOS for calling me an attention whore.

You guys want all this respect but you name call. That doesn't fly with this 6'3 330 pound grown ass man.

Got it?!

I call my own siblings attention whores, even on good days, and we're all in our thirties now. If it offended you, that wasn't my intent. But throwing around your physical dimensions is also rather tacky. But whatever. It's been a crazy week for BBN and you're entitled to your statements, even when you're wrong like you are about Quade Green's chances at a title next year.

As for your actual position on Monk, I'd argue that it was a collective of things that cost UK, starting with the overstated horrific calls in the first half. Mulder and Willis going 0-6 from three was also huge, as were the abundance of missed free throws. It's a more complex narrative than the one you're offering.

 

[Cychologist]

If we get one of Bamba and Knox the class becomes arguably the GOAT and if we land both it's GOAT hands down.

Before you buy into that hype, don't the recruiting experts call this a weak class. And just by going with the ratings, I don't think this class measures up to the Randle class.

 

[jwhite123]

This is Kentucky. Cal has 1 title in 8 yrs. so did Tubby.

Next year we have no shot at one.

Fact.

Let your true colors shine Kwilt

 

[catlogic15]

I (all of us) remember the Bolden, Swanigan, Randle, Wiggins et al. wait list for the "Who will put us over the top" infinite threads. I'll just sit back at this point and wait until the end. Who did we wait up for late at night thinking we had ..............Diallo? Can't remember but silly to actually spend the mental drain anymore. You know why? Because nothin means nothing til next March, when the juices flow again. Otherwise, nothin means nothin.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

I hope Bamba doesn't drag it out. Our guys declared, Duke is losing Jefferson and Giles. He's made his visits. Pick that hat. UK's of course.

 

[Bluemoon725]

@KWilt43atbuzz

If you think Monk not scoring enough was the only reason UK lost on Sunday, you need to rewatch the game.

Monk not getting close to his average, was not helpful for the team, he did score two huge threes to help keep us in the game.

Officiating in first half was horrid. Two blown basket interference calls that cost us 4 points.

Mulder gave us nothing in the game. Nothing.

Willis didn't hit a three, and was abused in his matchup with Maye. He also was responsible for guarding Maye, and let him get the shot off.

Fox and Bam played decent, but not great.

All in all, the team seemed to hit a wall and did not play their best game. It was not one thing or one player that determined the outcome of the game.

 

[Cawood86]

Hmmmmmm

Since when do you like Cal or the OAD players? Nobody is buying your act anymore troll.

 

[wildcatsboston1984]

We'll get Bamba, doubt we get Knox
