And, Julius Randle has accomplished what in the NBA?
He has yet to be mocked for his sham college work?
And, Julius Randle has accomplished what in the NBA?
UNC also has more accreditation probation titles, books from professors and staffers exposing their cheating ways, players accusing them of cheating, players suing them and more players than all schools combined that received fake credit hours and grades.
He has yet to be mocked for his sham college work?
And still, a BA from UNC is worth more than a Doctorate from UK with any recruiter in America.
With all the unproven BS about the 3000 kids who took the Afro_American classes, the University of North Carolina is, right now, one of the top 10 public colleges in America, a list the University of Kentucky has never been on or been close to smelling.
He went to "college" for what, 2 semesters?
You want to bet?
Let's look at bball and football athletes the last 10 years.
Pull transcripts and let's look at how many sham classes UNC's hallowed halls of cheating are on your guys records.
That fans of UK think your players are actually getting an education is unreal. Demarcus Cousins was the dumbest SOB to put on a tennis shoe until Nerlens Noel staggered on to your campus.
Stop with the nonsense...
I loved getting Murray. If we are going to play the "I have more talent so my odds of winning are better" game, then we needed him badly.
Dude...
Harrison Barnes was the top high school recruit in his class.
And, Julius Randle has accomplished what in the NBA?
Exactly....then Roy got a hold of him.
...and now he's enjoying his first NBA championship ring as a starter on this years NBA championship team.
Yeah, old Roy really screwed Barnes...
............... My point is what are "HS school recruits" paying attention to. Answer: not what UNC is doing............

Do not fear. The Black Falcon WILL dominate the NBA, just like he did the ACC.
I've never insinuated they were better players, but you're insinuating the past 2 NBA championship teams pick their starters based on "luck"?
Your position is laughable...
Try as you might, UNC has more NBA championship rings than any program in America, UK is barely a honorable mention on the list.
I'm sure when a Calipari UK player finally wins a championship, if it ever happens, you'll be dismissive of their contribution because of their status as a "lucky role player"...
LOL

"Cousins has not yet qualified for freshman eligibility, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal. He has a 3.4 GPA but has yet to take either the SAT or the ACT, Hughley told the paper."
I don't know what his GPA was in college, but 3.4 out of high school wasn't bad. Hell, probably would have made him a summa cum laude candidate at UNC.
I couldn't find much on Nerlens, but he qualified and had to attend and remain eligible while attending real classes at UK. That far exceeds most UNC grads over the last 20 years. Given how ignorant the UNC posts have been regarding Wall and Cousins academics, I'm guessing that Noel was somewhere between a 2.0 and an unbridled genius in comparison with the athletes you are used to.
I will say this, Wall, Cousins and Noel at least had enough smarts to google some background info before making stupid posts. I think that makes them somewhat intellectually superior (smarter, for you UNC fans) than present company. Seriously, keep the stupid stuff outside. UNC has been embarrassing itself enough lately. They don't need any further help from the idiot wing of their fan base, sizable though it may be.
Seems like I end up talking smack with every UNC fan that comes along lately. Its distasteful, though I suppose the only means you may have to express yourself. Even when the discussion gets heated between KY fans, I get the feeling they've at least thought the issue through for the most part and can hold a reasonably stimulating conversation. Even the Duke and Kansas fans can write complete sentences.
This UNC bunch . . . Jeez.
Barnes was being labeled as the next Michael Jordan....
And yet he still took more real classes than some of your 4 year guys...
Barnes was rookie of the year in the ACC. In his sophomore year he lost to the eventual NCAA champions by 1 point, lost in the elite eight after losing our ACC first team point guard, who broke his wrist early in the tournament, went in the top 10 as a lottery pick and just won a NBA ring, as a starter, on this years NBA championship team.
Why you guys are trying to discredit Harrison Barnes is beyond me. He's accomplished more in his 3 years in the NBA than any player from UK during the Calipari era.
Wall and Cousins probably went to more classeslol
Yeah...certainly compared to that high level education Wall and Cousins earned at Kentucky.
Your argument that UNC produces better pro's as evidenced by Barnes, Green, McAdoo, etc who have more rings is laughably asinine. Other then Jordan, UNC players with titles have been role players. Important and vital, absolutely. But to win a title as a role player has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the situation you are placed in. If Danny Green or Barnes had not ended up in AMAZING situations and never won a title would you think less of them as players assuming they played at the same level for a team that lost in the second round of the playoffs? I certainly wouldn't.
Now MJ is different obviously. UNC produced the greatest player of all time. I tip my hat to you on that.
LOL. You're an idiot. Winning a title as a role player is not accomplishing more then being first team all NBA as Anthony Davis was this past year. Without Barnes the Warriors still would have won that title most likely. They are that deep and talented plus didn't have to match up with the Clippers or Spurs. Anthony put up insane numbers and is widely considered the future of the NBA and a top 5 player in the league. Also....... Cousins and Wall received max contracts. AD is about too. I know its all about winning hypothetically, but lets get real, 99% of NBA players would take a 20 million a year and no title over 8 million a year and a title.
But nope, Cal just doesn't coach em up good enough or Anthony or Wall would have lead their teams to a title already![]()
I've never said UNC produces "better pro's", just more of them with NBA championship rings. Certainly some, Scott Williams and James Michael McAdoo are good examples, did little more than role players, but that can be said for most players on NBA championship teams. Does Joe Dumar's 2 rings not count because Isiah Thomas was on the team?
It's your feeble argument that is laughable...
They played the Clippers and Spurs many times over the season and had the best winning record in the league, with Barnes as a starter.
Stop with the nonsense, most UK fans I know are smarter than this...
He went to "college" for what, 2 semesters?
Forde is a prick, but most of this article was accurate. Cal values the future success of his players more than he values UK's accomplishments. He says so directly. Whether people like that approach or dislike it, that is Cal. Personally, I don't like it and don't really care if 1000 of you jump on me for the statement. I will state again, people tend to chase the goals they find most important. Cal clearly values player success above program success. That is his stated goal. He has said so time after time. I'm not sure why so many of you ignore the accuracies in this particular article other than the fact that it puts Cal in somewhat of a negative light. We have more and more Cal worshippers and fewer UK first fans. He is leaving one day and the flash in a pan player days will be over. We won 7 NC's without his approach and we'll be fine when he is gone. It's all about the program not the player. How about building a team rather than a pipeline.
Whatever makes you sleep better, bro...
lol
At my age, a double Scotch neat, and a good movie are the preferred mechanisms for that.
Arguing with an fan from an academically bankrupt university is generally just boring and really doesn't help me sleep better. I start worrying about the kids getting ripped off by that school, particularly when they come back with a weak ass response like that.

Do we have Mods?

I see your list. Do you disagree with the former staff members, players, SACS, and the NCAA, all of which have concluded UNC cheated when it came to academics and athletes?
And hell they aren't going to admit it. Dean Smith was the father of "racism of low expectations". Roy was the bitch that kept the scandal moving. UNC is the institution that funneled grades for athletes, probably the worst thing an academic institution can do.
They just want to get away with it. And getting away with it to them is as good as it being true. That's the kind of scum we are dealing with.
