I’m worried about games again because I genuinely care about the team again. It feels like a Kentucky team. I am so happy though.
Caleb Wilson on live with Finkelstein at 1 ET today: "update on his recruitment đź‘€"
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
I imagine that once a player gets into the program here and is under the tutelage of Pope, they start to have an understanding of what the program means. Not just to us but to the coach himself. That will be an important part to some guys returning instead of running to the association.
So I’m a sheep because I don’t freak out every time an 18 year old kid doesn’t make a decision I like? Try and at least make sense If you’re going to insult me. And also maybe stop pretending to be a girl, morgz. It’s pretty cringe.
Landing the best dude doesn't always equal success. Ask IU about how that's going with Ballo. or Washington with Osobor.
Washington is 1-6 in conference. IU is 4-3 in conference and just took an ass kicking from the Illini.
Landing the best dude doesn't always mean you'll be good.

I’ve never seen an untalented national championship team
No, but you also don't see them as all the top recruits either. Chemistry matters a whole lot.
Wonder if they are selling him on coming in lighting it up like Ian Jackson has lately .
Either way when it comes to recruiting I don’t ever think anything is official until the player announces it. The best way to be .

IU has taken back to back shelackings: they had a 25 pt road loss right before Illinois punked them at home by 25
I quit following recruiting for the most part several years ago. I will check out who is interested and then quit until close to time of commitment and signing. Too much information for and against to know what's true. Feint heart? Maybe, or just tired of the B.S. attached to it.
All players want to get to the NBA asap. Most just aren't good enough to do so. All of our experienced current players wouldn't be on this year's roster if the NBA was an option.
That’s the way to do it.
Something tells me feint of heart has never been used to describe you. I hear you on the BS.
Yeah, it's a mix. But UK hasn't ever won a title without at least a couple first round picks on its roster. Same with making the final four. Do we have that this season?
Next season too early to tell.
"Mark" as you call him, like you are family or close friend to him, wants Wilson really bad. He knows he can't depend solely on the portal every year, he has to have a blend of portal guys, returning players, and solid top tier high school guys. The last thing he wants to do is be known as a coach who doesn't recruit top talent. By the way, nothing has been even remotely suggested that Wilson is a bad guy or big ego, or selfish.
If Wilson has OSU in his final three, that tells us it is ALL about the $$$$. What in heck would a kid from Atlanta even think about Columbus, OH as a destination to advance his basketball career. Maybe OSU was included more as a joke. I truly don't think they, (OSU), really is in play to get Wilson to play basketball for them. I think we have Wilson with a silent commit.
