You maybe right ababypoopsinthecorner. I don't know how cal can try to add grimes when he has offered garland as well. I guess its first come first serve
Hands off. He's ours.
KU is going to be stacked if you guys get all of the players you say you are getting.
Barrett is going to KU. Williamson will go to KU because they are an Adidas school. Grimes is yours.
That on top of the bazillion transfers you have coming in and the guys that you say are leaving, but always stay four years, makes you guys the deepest team on the planet next season.
I guess Self will have to platoon!

Yep, just depends on how bad we want him.
Must suck to always get sloppy seconds Kansas

I don't think we get Williamson.
Don't forget about the couple five stars they do get that Self will keep on the bench and all but guarantee they come back for a second year.KU is going to be stacked if you guys get all of the players you say you are getting.

Every time I look at your avatar pic, I keep thinking you're ready to throw up.
I can't get that thought out of my head.
We are going to get pretty much who ever we want.. Everyone else will get 2nds and 3rds.. No It isn't you don't think you will get Williamson rather its You will not get him! Kentucky will! Adidas stuff over hyped cause Cal has smashed all the shoe connections on recruiting.. People who thinks that is something must be new to this or they are clueless. Cal will land pretty much about 80% on all his top targets no matter what shoe affiliations, where they live, or the so called the player is a lock for this school or that school. Cal and Kentucky = Recruiting domination and superiority period! Set back and watch the 2018 class fall in place! Its might be the greatest ever!
So we are getting Bagley ? I mean if UK wants him (I am sure Cal does), then i guess it is just a formality, K just needs to stop recruiting.
Cal is great, but lets not act like that if he wants to, he can sign Bagley, Bol, Williamson, Langford, and who ever he needs if he wants them. Matter of fact, we have missed on the Stud of studs in the last few classes. Signing guys in the 7-15 range. Hate to say it, but Coach K is getting that Elite of Elites year in and year out.
Worked out great for him last season. Getting beat by a SEC team and all. Cal is doing fine, troll.
How in the hell would Kansas have room for any recruits with 23 transfers and grad-transfers coming in next season? ![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
UK freshman drafted in the lottery this year - 3
Duke freshman drafted in the lottery this year - 1
According to the 2016 ESPN recruiting class:
UK top 10 players: 3
Duke top 10 players: 3
Duke got the #1, #3, and #10 players. Kentucky got the #5, #6, and #9 ranked players.
Don't just go by rankings. Not only does Cal seem to get more production out of his players year in and year out, but they seem to usually (there are exceptions) player to par or better than other players of similar rankings. Whether it's a mixture of being a better talent evaluator or better, better at player development, or a mixture of both, Cal usually gets the most out of his guys.
This isn't just true of the past year either. There almost always to be a discrepancy in the performance (in UK's favor) between Kentucky commits vs. Kentucky recruits that went elsewhere. There is also a trend of recruits leaning towards Duke having inflated ratings and much more hype surrounding them compared to recruits from other schools.
I believe that UK fans' negativity and belief that K has overtaken Cal as the premier recruiter in college basketball comes from Duke player's being overhyped and the fact that there is another school that is in the same ballpark with Cal when it comes to recruiting.

But yet you just said this today.
The Bol thing kind of pisses me off!! He should be ours!! Cal must see something but not sure there. I thought he was almost as a lock as Zion and Quickley.. That is a bummer there!! That is like giving a stud player away.. Seems Cal would want all his main Targets on Team especially if they are top 5 nationally.. Never ever have I questioned Cal on recruiting tactics but this one here has me scratching my head.. 1st time in recruiting I have ever thought about 2nd guesding Cal.. Top 2 stud bigs and we are going to Miss out on both of them? 1 of 2 Bolo and Bagley was a must for a run at title in 18-19 IMO. 1st time im lil nervous about class..
Not a troll. I said we have missed on the #1 overall player Elite of the Elite). Love Cal, would not trade him for anybody, but saying K losing to SC is worse than my post. You left out the part where he has won a couple titles recently. fact is whether we like it our not, and i love having a punchers chance, but we SHOULD have more titles in the Cal era. Once again, i understand how hard it is to win it and we get no breaks, but i am a little disappointed in just the 1 title with the teams we have had. And i do think we get another sooner than later, but we have had some chances wasted, but we are there every year, just need to cash in.
Sorry i took my blue tinted glasses off for a minute and gave a opinion that differed from yours. Troll, lol, not even close.
My bad. You're not a troll. You're just another ridiculous poster on RR with crazy expectations. If you're not satisfied now, you're a huge goofball.
And Cal's players dang sure make way more dough in the nba....any deniers?
Duke's success with OAD mirrors Kentucky. K has won one title with OAD's just like us and he had a couple of soph's or seniors to help just like we did.
We don't get everyone we want. Neither does Duke. They lose them after a year just like us. It does appear some players are just meant to be a Dookie (Tatum) and some just seem to be meant to be a Cat (Fox). Either way its a competition between two schools that is good for college basketball in general.
One difference between the schools is that Duke came to the OAD party later than we did. I do think there is some UK fans who may not get the attachment with the players like they used to due to the fact they are only here 9 months and Duke fans haven't hit that yet.
