I'm Calling It Now; Bam Adebayo will be the #1 Pick in the 2017 Draft
- Thread starter UKMKG
- Start date
How many titles have you won?
And Madden mobile does not count.
Winning national titles is not easy. So why do you act like 1 title is a travesty?
Only three active college coaches have more than 1 title and two of them had to cheat to get their titles (Williams, Pitino).
It doesn't matter how much talent you have, it's hard to win a title. Period.
I had to say it, now continue with your agenda. Have fun being miserable. Or go root for a team that wins it every year. Oh, wait, that team does not exist.
Did you see me comment on the draft status of Bam in this thread?
I will hopefully watch this kid hurt the Cards' feelings once again.
With the other talent Cal is bringing in next year to surround Edrice I think he will shine next season. It was hard for him to look good in the one game on ESPN playing against what they said was the best high school team in the country. The scouts have seen him play in more than one game and currently rate him around #3 in the country which includes a lot of good players coming out of high school next season.
Let's see if he can be the number 1 player on the team and maybe top player in college first...
all this crowing kids king before their senior prom has got to stop...all it does is give us false hope and place unfair pressure on their shoulders...
Cal may have a ring and some final fours...but he has yet to win much of anything solely with freshmen or a single phenom...
I hope they're all really good...and I hope they have some solid players from this years squad to play with...otherwise i don't know that it will be nets at the end of the year...
lottery and number 1 picks are great for those individuals...i'm a capitalist and for getting all the money you can...but I'm a University of Kentucky basket ball fan and alumni...i've pumped a lot of money and time into the place over the years...I want Kentucky to be great and hang a banner more than I want another draft night fathead up in the craft center lobby...

Not saying that at all. I'm saying he is not a OAD number 1 draft choice. As we have seen this year we tend to over rate our recruits.
at all of you that haven't put CUT-NETS on ignore yet.
Many on here shouldn't quit their day jobs to coach or evaluate talent. @CUT-NETS is a little pussy.
How many teams has Cal had would qualify as composed solely with freshmen?
The only one I can think of that may fit your definition would be the 2014 team, and that team lost in the championship game.
So really, you're criticizing an imaginary condition.
You ever leave your house? What do you do for a living? Do you work? Work from home? Can you work?
I am going to have to report this post on behalf of all the pussies you have now offended.
Good luck to him. It will be fun trying to watch him become that at Kentucky. I do think people are overlooking the guy who will actually be no.1 from this class and that's Jayson Tatum. Not being overlooked in the sense of his ranking, but in this thread.
I've got Jackson, then Tatum, as my top two. They are both great, but Jackson gets a slight edge.
1. Jackson
2. Tatum
3. Fox
4. Monk
5. Adebayo
6. Giles*
7. Smith*
8. Bridges
9. Ball
10. Gabriel
*Injured. Giles and Smith would be top 5 guys if not for the injuries.
Who cares what Bams pro projection is if he comes to UK and puts up 12,8 and 2 blocks thats more than fine.
This is such a loaded class that's it's hard to rank the top 10. But I was supremely impressed with Lonzo Ball in his game against Bam. I think there is a little west coast bias baked into his national ranking. Watch out for him and T.J. Leaf at UCLA next year. UCLA has the potential to be on the UK, Duke, Michigan State level which is a weird sentence to type for a Steve Alford team.
