We sure as hell wouldn’t have been any worseWell...he helped himself by not coming to UK this year. But was he that dude that would've caused all of our pieces to fit together?
That miss was so much larger than we realized at the time.
ncaa hasnt ruled on them they are inDude’s so good, he’s going to get OK State in the tourney even though they aren’t eligible.
Sure glad we didn’t hire his brother.
This is my understanding as wellncaa hasnt ruled on them they are in
Yep...we took our turn back in the day to get Magloire by hiring Simeon Mars.Memphis hired penny to get wiseman. Carolina hired Psycho T mom back in the day. Sucks but legal I guess
unless you are a small schoolNCAA drags their feet when it comes to making decisions.
It’s absolutely legal. People get jobs all of the time based on their connections and people they know, including family. Those that act like this is some sort of egregious or shady act are flat out stupid and hypocrites. If a team wants to spend one of their limited assistant positions on a player’s brother...then let them. It’s their prerogative. Who cares. There is nothing amateur about college athletics, we all know this. Currently it’s the only legit way though a players family can actually get paid by the school who will make millions off of them. Make no mistake OSU will get millions from making the tourney and having Cade on their team this year. Good for him for getting his family some compensation. Don’t blame or criticize him one bit.Memphis hired penny to get wiseman. Carolina hired Psycho T mom back in the day. Sucks but legal I guess
yeah boyton should give cunningham half his salaryIt’s absolutely legal. People get jobs all of the time based on their connections and people they know, including family.

If I remember correctly, a coach named Cal, hired a Dad to get a player when at Memphis. As you say, "Sucks but legal, I guess. I believe the players name was Wagner, from Louisville, Kentucky, where his dad played. I may be wrong on the player's name, but I remember him hiring the Dad, even though he didn't graduate from college.Memphis hired penny to get wiseman. Carolina hired Psycho T mom back in the day.

Cal hired Milt to get Dejuan at MemphisTell me I’m wrong.
If any one of our assistants leave, we should hire Dejuan to ensure DJ
Wouldn’t have only won 9 games, I’ll tell you that much. Record reversed and an NCAA bid at the very least.This would have been a way different team if Cade was running the show . Everyone would have looked better.
Not sure it would have been a championship but we would have been very good .
If Cunningham came to UK they automatically would become Title contenders, best player in the country by far, makes everything easier and is clutch. Best PG in long time.We would’ve been a lot better with Cade. Definitely not a losing record. Reason being Cal wouldn’t of played Devin at the point for 35+ min a game. Floor would’ve been bubble team, ceiling probably SS or NIT champions depending which side of the bubble we ended on.
Worked perfectly for your Jayhawks and Mario Chalmers dad getting hired as..cough cough... assistant Coach. Also Danny Manning’s dad got hired by Larry Brown when the Jayhawks won it all in 88It’s absolutely legal.

If we needed to then yeah. With DJ, though, I honestly don’t believe that’ll be necessary. IMHO, he’s Cal’s to lose.Tell me I’m wrong.

Any serviceable PG that could break down defenders and guard would of made a difference. Those guys are a dime a dozen, but unfortunately Cal limits those options with his 6'3" height requirement.Put him on KY and we aren’t sitting at home with the worst season in school history. Cal has to have elite PGs to run his show. This kid is elite. We probably are final 4.
Correct. When you don’t have a legit PG, it forces all the other players to create everything on their own. You also have to have a concentrated effort to move the ball like a hot potato in order to make the defense move, then swing it on ball reversal.Cade is a gem. We'd be in the tournament. He makes everyone better. This team had no real go to scorer minus Mintz. You let him run the show this team looks a whole lot different.
You can't win without a PG. Especially at the college level. Why the hell Cal thought Askew could handle it. I don't know.
Everyone would have liked this team I guarantee it with Cade running the show. He's special.
That young man is the truth. Big time loss for Cal that would have made a huge difference.
I’m trying to understand how some posters don’t think Antigua would make any difference. I think he makes a total difference. Illinois was a dumpster fire before he got there with Underwood. Underwood is a good coach but Antigua is the key to his recruiting. And that team is full of studs.I think this is a mistake on Cal and Justus. Cade is clearly a OAD at the same level as John Wall/Fox/Cousins/Davis etc. This is the problem. Cal can't get that type of talent consistently anymore. If that is the case he needs to adapt and have kids be 2-4 year players. The more he pushes to the NBA when they're not ready or doesn't give them a fair shot, see Juzang and others. Then we will continue to have years like this. One reason why Coach O needs to come back.
Blood is thicker than waterThis, an elite player like Cade makes everyone else better. This would have been a completely different team with him! But, it’s on Cal for not getting him.

Probably so. Cade is one of those talents who make everyone around him better. He is willing passer but also able to make pressure shots. A guy like that can carry a team.I think with Cunningham UK is a one or two seed and loses in the elite eight by missing a bunch of free throws. The flaws that were so apparent this year would not have been apparent to so many.
