Anyone high on Louisville is an idiot to start with. However, now that the Stewart ship has sailed, and it looks as if Oscar may go to WVU, maybe Igiehon now sees his playing time at UK. Just a thought.

This is what I don't get. What the heck are these other schools selling them considering the success Bigs have had UK under Calipari?
Are they getting brainwashed just to ignore that or something? Cousins, Harrelson, Noel, WCS, Towns, Bam the last 9 years. No one has even come close to the success UK has had with bigs. And we cannot even get an elite big to even take a sniff at us since BAM.
Sounds moronic to me!! Do these kids have a brain at all? Can they think for themselves? Or are they just cluless & believe anyting any stupid AAU coach or other college coach tells them?

Pump the brakes. From Bam Adebayo to present, we’ve basically missed on two elite bigs that we now know to a certainty were paid commitments: Bamba and Bagley. In the meantime, we also signed five-star Nick Richards, five-star PJ Washington, five-star Jarred Vanderbilt, five-star Kevin Knox, five-star EJ Montgomery, and all-conference, POY candidate, former McDAA Reid Travis.
We are also in good with top-3 recruits James Wiseman and Vernon Carey. Tshiebwe hasn’t made his decision yet, and Igiehon never even had a UK offer.
That said, to your point on the rare situations we do miss a priority recruit for reasons other than a bag of cash - relationships matter. It’s true for everything: realtors, financial advisors, lawyers, doctors, accountants, and coaches. People routinely choose a less prestigious or reputable professional for an important job because they know the person well and trust them. But that cuts both ways, Cal is a tremendous relationship guy. So don’t sweat it.
Honestly, I don’t worry about recruiting. Cal will get his.

Didn’t get his last year or we’d been better than 10+ losses.
What's your ultimate goal? Are you trying to convince some fans that it's not always sunny in UK Land or do you actually believe Cal isn't trying to land kids however he can within the rules?
I'm just trying to understand why you're constantly reminding fans that we don't always land a perfect class and that we may not land all our parts in this present recruiting cycle. I think most folks get it.

CAN YOU PEOPLE READ??
I said specifically BIGS. So, only Nick Richards qualifies. But I also said ELITE BIGS, meaning the very top bigs in each class: Bagley, Ayton, Bamba. This year: Wiseman, Carey, Stewart. If I were an elite big I cannot see why I could look at UK's success with bigs the las 9 years & choose Memphis, Duke, or Michigan St.
1. 6’8” power forwards are “bigs.”
2. There is credible evidence that all three of the guys you named, Bagley, Ayton, and Bamba, were paid for their commitments. So I don’t see how this helps your case.
Case? We may not get any of our elite big targets. If we don't...then there ya go bud.
Why in the heck do you equate what I'm saying to equal that I'm implying its Cal's fault at all? I specifically said its moronic for a big to pass on UK to play where track record on other elite bigs was no way comparable.
Still made it to the Sweet 16.Didn’t get his last year or we’d been better than 10+ losses.

I was replying to one person that didn’t understand that fact.
I get it.... ya don’t want me reminding you something negative can happen .. you just wanna think about the positives but that’s not me... I’ll point out positives and negatives because that’s life
Still no official announcement regarding Igiehon?
Just thought it was strange that 5 hours after Igiehon was supposed to make his official announcement, then nothing has been said.
Not saying he probably won't go to U6 (which IS strange), but I think it is just a little odd to NOT announce when he said he would.
Lol. I thought today was Friday. Been a rough week.

Agree. Just because he picks UL doesn't mean he'll wind up there (with certain impending sanctions). I'd advise those who want to crush this kid on social media if he doesn't pick UK to let things play out.Picking UL but won't sign till spring.imo

We’re not entitled to a damn thing.

So then how are we entitled to the point we should just assume our recruiting will be amazing each year?
If he picks Louisville he’s just a total loser. They should just shut that shithole program down.If he picks UL he is making a big mistake.
Wrong player. That is Oscar tshiewbe or however you spell it. He is Announcing on sat.
