And cal constantly yelling.The recruits have been watching the same thing we have all season
We don't have an ace recuiter since O left,if we don't hire a ace recuiter for next year we will be in same shape
The players just don't complement each other. Like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.The roster is full of five star players. No guarantee of chemistry, and they need a shooter besides Knox.
But The four star player is out best if that tells you anythingThe roster is full of five star players. No guarantee of chemistry, and they need a shooter besides Knox.

What does that tell us? Not to recruit anymore 5 stars? Silly post.But The four star player is out best if that tells you anything

SGA higher. Knox even, maybe slightly lower, 1-2 spots. Quade way lower. PJ way lower. Not judging Vanderbilt, he hasn't played enough to truly tell. Richards even or a few spots lower. Diallo unranked. Okay I kid about that. But wayyyyyyyy lower.If this HS class was re-evaluated today, how many UK recruits would have the same or higher rank?
How many would be ranked lower?
Because kids are becoming more pussified. If you don't get your way or get pampered it's always someone else's fault and they deserve all blame. It's sickening what this world is coming to. And I'm only 22......I don't believe this has anything to do with it. Cal has ALWAYS been a screamer. He was during his UMass days, his Memphis days, and the very best of his UK days (remember him being caught calling TJ a "selfish motherfu--er" on national TV?).
Stars like Wall, Rose, AD, Camby, MKG, Bledsoe, Knight, Cousins,Towns, etc. had no problem with his screaming. Don't know why it'd suddenly become an intolerable issue now.
Damn straight.Because kids are becoming more pussified. If you don't get your way or get pampered it's always someone else's fault and they deserve all blame. It's sickening what this world is coming to. And I'm only 22......
It is silly to say that our 5 star recruits are not as a good as a 4 star. Never said we should not recuirt the best players. I said our 5 star players are not as good as Alexander. Ever SEC team we have played has players as good or better than ours. My point is that we have a team full of 5 star players and some do not have good basketball skills that a lot of players with lower rankings have. We have a lot of 5 star players on this team that are not good basketball players.What does that tell us? Not to recruit anymore 5 stars? Silly post.
Maybe kids have changed ? There was a time kids accepted Bobby Knights antics , but those times changed . Of course that is an extreme example, lol .I don't believe this has anything to do with it.

I'd settle for basic fundamentals and the ability to be coached w/o talking back. Just a start.I don’t want to hear positionless athletic players. How about smart shooters?
Damn straight.
I just experience it first hand. I play pickup with some high school players to try to help them learn and do what they're supposed to do. They don't/won't listen. I'm one of those annoying players who go hard 24/7 No matter where or when I'm playing. Those boys don't. They don't play defense, they won't rebound, they won't pass. All they care about is scoring and me, myself and I. No matter how many times I try to tell them differently they act like they listen but continue to do the same thing. So if it's happening in small schools where I'm from where your best talent may be a D2 player. I can only imagine what goes through the minds of these "superstars" coming out of high school who are NBA bound. Now I'm not saying it's every kid, but it's becoming the culture and a lot of kids buy into that bad culture.Pizza Slice wins the internet .

Lol, good lord, i told ya, you post some idiotic sgit that is just stupid, so good post, way to stay consistantly stupid!And cal constantly yelling.
remember the NIT year - the fans holding up signs saying "keep calm, the twins are coming"?
I don't think current performance has anything to do with recruiting to be honest.
But what does is Cal sending as many guys as he can from this team to the NBA. Which is the infuriating part in a year like this
Are you really infuriated? Over something that hasnt happened yet?
How exactly does Cal send kids to the league?
...
There is no guessing.
Cal won't stand in the way of a kid that wants to go but he clearly doesn't think is ready. He's said that before. And the way he has said it led me to believe it was more than one.
if you want to get into semantics about the term sending players to the league, versus developing a program around showcasing a kid for the league, we can.
This sounds like the "we will be fine after Camp Cal" stuff or the " nobody will want to play us come March" .This class wasn’t great. End of story. We’ll get most of them back barring a major turnaround. Bring in another good class and we’ll be fine next year.
I heard he got his calm demeaner from Bobby KnightGood thing Coach K has a reputation of never yelling at his players.
