Coach Cal on recruiting, "We're not quite done yet"

Bamba, Johnson, Knox...

I don't think he means Kentucky has other recruits in the bag. All that means imo is that they are currently recruiting other players. They'll wait until those guys make a decision before commenting on Vanderbilt and Baker.

Oh c'mon, Cal would not have made that comment if he didn't anticipate another signing. No way. Now it might not happen, but I certainly believe Cal feels damn good that it will.

You ain't gonna be too swaggy unless you gonna be backin' it up!

I think he's confident at least one player will be added.Knox seems unlikely so IMO it's among Bamba,Johnson or Smith.

Maybe a dumb question, but is there room for Bamba and Johnson if Bam were to return? Is UK allowed 12 or 13 schollies?

Bet you dollars to donuts Bamba isn't coming here if Bam returns.
 
Cal will get his guy. You can bank on that. The man is gonna take over college basketball. He's gonna build teams that even the NCAA and officials can't **** over. Kinda like 2012.
 
Really hoping we can land Johnson. Want him for 2 years over Knox. Can flat out stroke it and is athletic enough as well. Highlights from Pitt last year. Sounds crazy but I think if he jumps on board, he could be our leading scorer next year.

Love Swaggy Cal!

Also, in regards to Johnson, maybe he likes his draft chances just a little bit better with the UK/Cal machine behind him instead of the Pitt/Stallings machine.

Maybe we should build a bigger bench.

You must be pretty naive if you think Cal just randomly tweeted this. If we've learned anything it's if Cal gets a good feeling, Swaggy Cal comes out. And that my friend was Swaggy Cal.

I am sure he feels confident he will land someone, doesn't mean anyone is locked up. Relax with the swaggy Cal stuff. That is hardly swaggy Cal.

Playing at Pitt and playing at UK are two totally different ends of the spectrum!
 
Cal very much wants Cam. Should land him. Michigan biggest remaining contender, which recently had an on-home.

Bam likely gone.

Bamba looks solid.

May have 1 other departure.
 
I'm sure Cal is confident he will get another player just like all the blue blood coaches because handles are they will. It's far from a lock though. He made comments like this before when he missed out on Bazz, Zimmerman, Bennett. I'm
Sure he will get at least one more but if he doesn't I wouldn't be surprised either. Honestly I think he's good either way due to SKJ and Wenyen being at least a little better next season.

UK next year will take early lumps though and some on here will go over board like every year at first asking "is this he best class/team Cal ever had" after beating D2 teams in scrimmages and low D1 and then "is this Cala worse class/team ever" after taking lumps vs better D1 teams
 
Come on guys..... LOGIC please. This kid would would have his name in the draft right now and testing the waters if he was even close to as good as some are making him out to be.
Luke Maye. You'd probably kick sand in our eyes if Luke was heading our way. Cam is better than Maye.

Why are you comparing Maye and Johnson? one is a 6'8 version of M. Mulder and the other is a poor man's Scott Padgett. ...........

The only thing they have in common is that both would be backups at UK next year if they were to be here.

Yes...but that is NOT the point, is it? I'm giddy about Johnson because he is an experienced clutch shooter. And (like Maye, whom you clearly undervalue), Johnson would give us reliable depth on the perimeter. A difference maker.

Agree but it's not like he was playing crap competition night in and night out. He was playing in the ACC. He wasn't playing in the SWAC or some garbage league
