It caught up with Cal years ago, but he's so intoxicated by the NBA draft, that he refuses to let it go.Good points in here. The one thing I see is Cal loves uber athletes who may not necessarily be great basketball players. At least the past few years. You can’t have five starters like that. It will eventually catch up with you.
The worst part of all of this is, the NBA drafts on potential, so you can stink it up in college and still get a first round pick. That's where we're at right now. UK is sacrificing quite a bit here. Ugly basketball early with bad losses, then we get bounced in the tournament and everyone leaves.
Thank god for the transfer portal, but it's still an entirely new team that needs a season to mesh. This just isn't what you do when your goal is final fours and titles. It's silly.
I wonder why are draft picks so important to Cal? I would get more thrill out of getting 3 and 4 star kids into the NBA than these 5 star kids that were going there anyway.
