I was tied up today, so don’t know what the news about a KY kid being offered / not offered was all about, but I can say that Cal’s disregard of the KY boy has been unforgivable. He saw what Don Hawkins gave him. Why did he stop doing that? Why does he hate us?
There are two guys in the 9th region who would give us just that, kid at Cov Cath who I think signed with Miami Ohgaffot, and a kid at Holy Cross (who just set the all time region scoring record last week). Didn’t get a sniff.
Take one of them and the Lyon County kid. Let them be practice guards, earn a few minutes in the rotation, and then give a super solid and gritty 15-20 minutes as seniors. Is that any worse than using scholarships on other people you will not play and will just leave after one year anyhow? Or not even using those scholarships? Or having the audacity to use one on your shithead son?
Whoever made that comment earlier about him sitting with the poor family who lost their child. Yes, that individual thing he did was very, very kind, and legitimately admirable. But the disdain he has shown the poor, broken working class of this state - the very people who are not deemed even worthy to exist by his elite garbage type - that is reprehensible. He has broken the hearts of so many people in this state who depend on KY Basketball for one of the very few slivers of positive things - and most of all, pride - in their lives. And I believe this precludes referring to him as a “good man.” He is a selfish man, and an asshole.
