I wish Cal would have recruited Donovan Mitchell

I said it’s a weird WAY to bring him up.
One Louisville recruit out performs one of five dozen UK players under Cal and it’s a mistake that cost UK a title? I don’t think so, you need to go back and watch Bitchell at LU.
So yea, really weird way to bring it up. And you’ve been hole digging since.
As for the Rondo thread, eh, he’s easy to hate. I don’t, and I thought it was funny seeing that thread. Your excuse doesn’t hold water either, because you assumed the future and were wrong.
Not that it matters.
Just accept defeat and live tomorrow.
I remember you raving about Mitchell when he had 8 and 13 point games against UK.
The OP not understanding how weird of a thread this is has made my night
Rondo is a great point guard; has been for a long time. Any negative opinion about his game is crazy in my opinion.
FWIW, Tubby seemed to have a negative opinion of Rondo's game at the time. They never got along, and Rondo left. ThIngs worked out well for Rondo, but I always thought of it as 1 of the low points of Tubby's tenure here.
I wish Cal had got AD. I'm sure we would have won a NC. Wait for it! My bad. We did get AD. I really meant to say Sam Bowie.
"Liked by Zaytoven" Haha, of course it was...
Let’s think about this.
Mitchell decided between IU, Kansas, and UL. All Adidas schools. When he goes pro, he signs a shoe deal with Adidas. A year later, UL and Adidas get caught paying a bum like Brian Bowen $100,000. Then Mitchell’s dad writes a big “not me” guilty sounding letter about how innocent they are.
And you wonder why he went to UL?
He was bought and paid for.
No one's denying that he's playing great now. You add Rookie NBA Mitchell to the 2016-2017 Kentucky team, then yeah, they should win a title, but he wasn't half the player in college that he is now. You can't quite seem to grasp the fact that if Cal had recruited him, we weren't getting THIS Donovan Mitchell as a college Freshman/Sophomore. We would of gotten a pretty good college player and another guy who's looking to be stud in the NBA, which is still always nice mind you, I just don't think he would of made us that much better in college.
What if the year before we swap Shaqquan Aaron for Devin Booker? Wish Cal had recruited that guy.
OP can assume the future of Rondo (justifies it, because at THE TIME; he feels HE was right)even thought proven wrong
BUT. everyone else is wrong on Mitchell; Cal at THE TIME felt he would not be right at UK, but OP still KNOWS he is the correct one, because outcomes would be different and better for UK.
Oh the irony.and OP cannot see the hypocrisy he has posted. Or just does not care.
Trying that passive agressive jab at Cal... didn't work out as planned
Why do people feel the need to post just anything that pops in their head?
That Harden is pretty solid. How the hell did Arizona State sign him ? Did UK not even give him a offer ? Missed big time on that one.
Who cares about that? Who he is in the NBA isn't who he was in college.
Cal has plenty of guys doing well in the NBA, he doesn't need the feather in his cap.

Sure, Rondo played well in a playoff game but it still doesn't change that fact of the thread wasn't wrong at the time
It wasn't even a jab at Cal. It was just a man, I wish Mitchell would have been at UK
We had Jamal Murray and Malik Monk....Im fine with those guys. We needed big men those years.
Everyone is an expert the next day
You've never owned a business or been in Key position of Leadership, huh?
I hate Louisville more than anyone, but it doesn't hurt your UK fan card to admit this kid is a baller. Would have loved to have him on our team. That being said, no one, not even Cal, could have told you he would end up being this good. Hell he wasn't this good at U of L. But I do find myself cheering for him, as gross as it is!
Rupp missed the boat on Artis Gilmore too. We win at least one title with him. What was he thinking?
He is having an amazing rookie season, but let's see how he does over the next couple seasons before we declare him a superstar. His efficiency is awful and he's a volume shooter. That can improve with experience but teams will also figure out how to guard him.
You need to go back and read the thread. You didn't make a conclusion based on "right now". That's what you want it to be today.
He is having a much better rookie season than I would have ever thought. He has improved immensely since his time at UofL and he deserves credit for that. However he has inherited the "perfect storm", he is a high volume average shooter (43%)for a team that needs him to shoot alot to be competitive. For a person that handles the ball as much as he does, he doesn't get alot of assist, and his Assist to Turnover ratio isn't that great, thus his (PER) rating isn't that good. I hear often that he has made more 3pt baskets than any rookie ever. But I question the rationale of a 34% (32% playoffs) taking that many 3's. But there is no questioning his athletic ability, nor the fact that he seems like a great teammate.
Have to defend you umm. Some posters have an issue with you and many of your posts but, to me, you don't come off obnoxious and as argumentative as this OP. There are times where I even find your posts/threads entertaining but not this guy's. He's way off on his points and argues endlessly even though he has been proven wrong over and over. UMM, you're better than that!
