Forgive me for sneaking a peak...

...ahead to next year, but is it going to be our best recruiting class, and maybe team, of the Cal era? With Monk, Fox, Adebayo, SKJ and Gabriel, a good shot at Bolden and a puncher's shot at Jackson and Allen? And if we get Ulis back (not likely) and Briscoe? To go with Lee, Willis, Humphries, Matthews, et al? Murray is of course gone.

I'm enjoying this team immensely but can't help but dream about next season.

I just don't get you guys that are always looking ahead to next year. We have the best backcourt in college bb and are playing lights out. I'm enjoying THIS year.

Hence my last sentence.

Hence my last sentence.

BBL, I know where you are coming from. No issue in your statement at all. You and many others can do more than one thing at a time. You must be ambidextrous....You and I are both excited about this season but I too am excited about next season. I'd like to see UK get a little luck...we could have three other titles with a little luck. I'm good where we are at but with a little luck we could have had more.... What a ride!!! Be Good

God I hope ullis comes back!! I know it's wishful thinking but somehow someway

 

[ukwazoo]

It's not wishful thinking. He is a late 2nd rounder. Good chance he comes back.

 

[Aike]

Jackson?

I think there's a less than good chance he comes back.

Some of us can multitask.

 

[Stonewall12]

Jackson?

No

Hes gone..

 

[bigbluelou]

Jackson?

Josh Jackson, Southfield MI. Has he committed? No. 3 on ESPN.

 

[willievic]

This is one of the weakest years as far as a standout team that I have seen in my 76 years following basketball. There are at least 10 to 12 teams who could win it all this year.
UK is definitely one of them, but were also one of the teams that could "Flame Out" in the first round.
It all depends if we come to play. If we come to play, we can beat anyone.

OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!

Where do you get that we have any chance there? First I'm hearing it.

 

[willievic]

Hes gone..

Don't bet on it. I believe he will be back. He's having a great time, and his draft won't go any lower next year.

Just that he had us on his list. Nothing more than that. No inside info here.

OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!

Yeah.. Can't chance any injury though because that WOULD lower his draft

 

[ymmot31]

Hey guys, what if we collect some money and get Ulis a whore? Maybe that will make him stay. No one will ever know. Violet!!

 

[Aike]

Just that he had us on his list. Nothing more than that. No inside info here.

I had no idea he even listed us. I've heard we were 0% for him forever.

 

[bucsrule8872]

Weak draft this year vs. strong draft next year. He (Ulis) should leave.

 

[JerseyCat84]

Bolden is the only recruit left we have a shot at, IMO.

Come on dude, he said it about as nicely as possible and didn't dismiss this year's team at all.

 

[bigbluelou]

According to ESPN he does but that could be old info.

 

[Rush2112 UK]

I'm in the camp that thinks Ulis is gone, but IF we get him back, and our starting backcourt is Ulis, Fox and Monk, I can safely say that I will be more confident in a national title prior to any season I can ever remember, and that includes 78, 84, 96, 12, and 15.

 

[pikespeak1]

He gone.

Quantity does not necessarily equal quality. The 2013 class demonstrates that. Is there another Anthony Davis in that class? A John Wall? Or even a Demarcus Cousins? Is there a player that step right in and dominate the game like those three did? Having a bunch of 5 stars is nice. But if they are all ranked below the top 5 then who knows? A bunch of Marcus Lees, Dakari Johnsons, or Alex Poythresses will not make UK the top team in the country next year.
