Caleb Wilson cancels on Arky again

That’s what was said but if that was truly the case we will never know for sure.

Pretty sure Wright said that in an interview. Jay Williams always thought he was going to UK also, but after his dad spoke to Tubby he’s dad told him “you ain’t going there” .

He did, but he has done alot more flirting with uk. His buddy comitted here, he was at the champions classic and tweets about uk all the time. At the is point it would be a upset for him not to be at Kentucky

He’s been on some unofficial visits to UNC . That’s always concerning to me . But I think we are in pretty good shape with him .

I was all about Cal and the young guns when he was getting the right ones. After he won his championship, he got soft and recruited soft players. No way I would send my kid to him, he has nothing to offer them anymore. The fishbowl of UK was what prepared the kids best for the NBA..the mental part of the game was the education. His development of players is non-existent..

Disagree about the players after ‘12 being soft. No, it wasn’t just being at UK that prepared all the pros in the nba now from Ky. UK had great players all during cow’s tenure, great men, absolute studs. Cow just was and is a bad coach. And to player development, that’s also not true. It’s easy to be a huge critic of cow now, I am too, buy you’re going too far.

Around Covid is when shooting and actual tnsigible basketball skills got heightened in teams systems more. Cal didn’t adjust and just wanted to rely on athleticism. Last year he tried to change but he didn’t play his best players together.

You don’t believe dj and je were the best? Good, because no one but cow felt that way.

Sounds like something stupid tubby would do.

I get him being excited about being rich, but you can be classy and respectful toward people's time AND be excited about being rich. A lot of these kids have been put on a pedestal for so long that they think the world revolves around them, and couldn't possibly care less how others are affected. I guess I was raised differently.

He said in the interview that he has seen the schools (except for Arkansas) , met and talked to the coaches, and now he wants to watch them in game situations and see how they “coach their players “. That seems very fair and intelligent to me . I would imagine he was pretty impressed with Popes interactions with the players . I’d be curious if he watched the Arkansas- Troy game and saw Cal stomping his foot and screaming like an idiot.

I had never heard that about Jay Williams.

Me either, but I heard Williams himself say it . Surprised the hell out of me . Can you imagine him with Bogans and Prince .
