How 14 ex-UK players are faring as college players this year....

Cal ruined his legacy way before that.

Cal gave up on his legacy after the 2015 season, he opted for putting players in the NBA as his #1 goal. UK basketball suffered greatly after that point. His last 2 or 3 years were about equal to an NCAA "death penalty"

Yeah, he gave it one more shot with the Fox/Monk/Bam team and after the hosing we got, he just kinda quit.

How about Lance? The ball can go through the hoop.

Most of those guys I could not pick out of a lineup.

In terms of effort given on the floor, every player should aspire to be Lance Ware.

I don't think Cal changed.

Cal always had the duel goal of NBA and winning. It just happened to work well in the beginning and not so well in the end lol

Read the room. I'm as anti-Cal as they come, but your username suggests you ride a different breed of horse.

Well he did leave us in pretty good shape, several players to build around so there is that.

No one pieced together a starting five.

Wagner
Thiero
Ivisic
Hopkins
Ware

What's their record?

This list exemplifies the recruiting whiffs that Cal had during his later years. The only guys who are really succeeding are at the mid major level

Pretty poor outside shooting bunch . Who’s the coach?

Guess he actually would’ve been better off staying at UK. At least he would’ve banked some solid NIL money and could’ve claimed he was a benchwarmer only because of UK’s blueblood talent being ahead of him …plus he would’ve gotten to play Mississippi State again.

But instead his time at WKU and Wyoming has basically proven that he simply isn’t any good.

He shouldn't have left the state to go to Wyoming. I don't think he has potential to play professionally anywhere, so getting NIL in the state would be maximizing his basketball career.
