Dan Dakich releases new top 5 PGs
- Thread starter screwduke
- Start date
does he do any other positions , or is this the only list he can put an IU player on?
Oddly the new list has no impact on my opinion of Ulis. Weird.
He needs the attention from #BBN, so he trolls to get hits.
He's no one anyway.
He's no one anyway.
Honestly I hope he never puts Ulis on a single list of his. This is the kind of stuff that probably gets under Tyler's skin and makes him play with even more fire. Just like when Cal Jokingly calls him kid. I hope he uses this as fuel to prove him wrong.
Honestly though, he can't be this stupid. He knows that by omitting him he'll get all the clicks from BBN and by adding a 2nd rate pg he'll add those fans as well. It's really good marketing on his part. Doesn't need to pander to BBN to get us riled up and at the same time open himself up to another pool of fans.

ding ding ding - just like Parrish and his top 25 and one list
In fairness, all 5 of those guys have been awfully damn good this year. Whether they belong above Ulis is certainly debatable, but it's not like the list is completely off the wall.
Defense is literally 50% of the game of basketball and Yogi Farrell doesn't even pretend to play defense and hasn't his entire career. Like even IU fans will admit Yogi doesn't even try on defense for large portions of games. Dunn, Trimble, and Morris are all debatably better then Tyler but get that Yogi BS out of here.
No, I would rather our players not catch whatever disease they have. Whatever it is it's probably corn based.
On a more serious note, I don't want to give them the satisfaction of being on the court with UK and I dam sure don't want to give them the opportunity to end our season.
Sorry no one with a straight face can say Ulis hasn't been one of the top 2-3 pgs this season .Hell he is the best pg Cal has had at UK as the #'s don't lie.
There you go. That man has ZERO credibility or independent knowledge of basketball. I don't even think he believes half the crap he says. He just wants attention and money. He's an IU homer who just talks when someone pays him to or puts a mic in his face. That's it.
You know how there are certain pundits that you believe are just out for attention/clicks and will say outrageous things all the time to get it?
Well, some of that is just speculation.. most of them will deny it and play coy like Goodman, for example.
But if you find Dakich one on one and ask him, he will openly admit that he personally enjoys pissing people off on the internet.
He's an unprofessional ass who personally attacks people who disagree with him and is always trying to instigate. No need to pay him attention.

Yeah I watch a ton of college basketball but I haven't seen any Oakland games this year. And unlike Skip Bayless I don't think it's right to give an uneducated opinion of a player I have no clue about. Damian Lillard was a stud at Oakland so the school does a history of producing NBA Point Guard talent.
Pretty sure he has genuine mental health problems. I tweeted out his name a couple days back, didn't @ him or anything, and within seconds he had liked the tweet and was tweeting back at me.
First up. he's retarded for not having Ulis in his top 5. Ulis is the best point guard in the nation. Yeah sure Dunn and Trimble have better NBA potential, but Ulis should be on the list. 2nd up that kid from Oakland, Felder is the real deal. He's like an Isaiah Thomas Jr. type
Okay so it's not blatantly obvious to you but it is to me.
Dan Dakich trolls UK fans all the time. I could care less that Tyler isn't on his list, doesn't bother me but if you think he's not having fun with UK fans I have some oceanfront property in Nebraska to sell you.
What? Damian Lillard played at Weber State, in Ogden Utah. He's from the city of Oakland. That's his hometown.
Depends on what you're talking about. To state that it's blatantly obvious that anybody who doesn't have Tyler top 5 is trolling - that is false.
But if you're saying it's not blatantly obvious that Dakich is trolling, you are wrong. Incredibly wrong.
He didn't just say that - he said that no UK fan truly believes that Tyler is a top 5 pg. That is blatantly obvious as a trolling statement.
He also said that he's not sure Tyler is top 15.
So if you're arguing that it can be reasonably argued that these 5 belong, then I don't disagree.
If you're arguing Dakich isn't trolling, then you can't come out on top.

Well, I don't know anything about this other stuff you're saying he said or where you got it from (link?), I was only responding to the Top 5 list. I honestly see nothing wrong with the 5 choices on this list. Tyler's certainly close to these guys, but I cannot say he's clearly better than any of them.
And, fwiw, I can't even say that Tyler's the most notable omission here. Where's Demetrius Jackson and Nic Moore on this list? Those guys have also been flat out studs this year.

do we really want to know about Dakich and his positions? Worse..positions with IU players?
I could care less about what Dakich thinks about anything. He is after the attention, like others have said, and, look what we are doing with this thread - giving him just what he wants. Let's just ignore what he has to say in the future and that would be the best way to treat guys like him.
I have no problem with Dakich saying that Ulis isn't a top 5 PG. There are plenty of very good PGs out there.
I did have a problem with him speaking for the entire Kentucky fanbase when he said something along the lines of "there isn't a Kentucky fan alive who truly believes Tyler Ulis is a top 5 PG." Nothing could be further from the truth. You'd be lucky to find 10 UK fans who don't think Ulis is a top 5 PG.
BTW, anyone who has any respect for someone who resorted to middle school bullying tactics on Justin Rowland and Kyle Tucker, two of the best UK media types we have, should reassess what they are doing.

Yeah I thought it was blatantly obvious that I mean DD was trolling UK fans when I said it was blatantly obvious that Dan Dakich was trolling UK fans but it's also blatantly obvious that UK90 missed my point.
