Bill Self is the biggest cheater in college sports history
Nope...that would be K (modern era) and John Wooden (old days).Bill Self is the biggest cheater in college sports history
People may not like Self but the guy can coach.
Let's not act like Cal was a saint either before he came to UK. Dude had Derrick Rose's brothers and what not flying with the Memphis players like they were part of the team.

Self has underachieved a lot to, he just gets a little pass now because he has 2 nowDuring the game, the announcer had said that in Bill Self’s 20 year career at Kansas, they’ve never been worse than a 4 seed. That’s truly remarkable. Unfortunately nowadays at Kentucky, we are thrilled with a 4 seed. But that’s 20 straight years of a team in contention every single year without 1 “bad” season. I know Self took some heat about only having 1 championship until last season. But it’s freaking hard to win championships (more so in college basketball than football). Players don’t have to play in college for 3 years.
But man, I’d just love to have that type of consistency
That's exactly what everyone, including UK fans, said about Cal BEFORE he came to UK.Bill Self is the biggest cheater in college sports history
Name one thing he’s done at UK? The stuff on Self recently is proven, not just chatter. This thread is so embarrassing. Geez.That's exactly what everyone, including UK fans, said about Cal BEFORE he came to UK.
Now, only opposing team fans think Cal is the biggest cheater in college sports history.
Did you not read the BEFORE he came to UK part of that post????Name one thing he’s done at UK? The stuff on Self recently is proven, not just chatter. This thread is so embarrassing. Geez.
Tbh... It is like that for Self every year. Oachi (sp?) was meh until last year... Wilson meh last year (no one expected him to be like this in 22-23). Gets kids to step up.... and solid supporting cast Never relies on freshmen.Self’s roster next year looks really bleak. He’s losing his two elite offensive players (Wilson, Dick) and it’s unrealistic to count on incoming FR to provide that. I don’t see where he finds any scoring unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat via the portal. If I had to put $ on it, I’d def bet agaisnt a top 4 seed. Might even be a bubble team.
It’s all cyclical. We have wash years every other season like the other top programs.
This. Self dabbled with it with Josh Selby, Xavier Henry but he never went all in on the 1nD youth movement. He didn’t build that culture of a revolving door and instead recruited players who came it expecting to be there a year or 2 before playing. You go after the occasional star like Zion but for the most part they haven’t prioritized it.KU doesn't get nearly as many one and done's as UK. Dick might be that this year, but before that I think Josh Jackson was the last one. KU still gets talent (mainly 4 star kids), but they don't have the option to go pro. Therefore as you mentioned they develop and get better and better. By the time they are juniors and seniors they are 21-22 years old who have been in the system for 3-4 years and know how to play the ball Self asks. I really think this is more of an effective formula. When was the last time a team won it all with mainly freshman and sophomores? Duke and Kentucky are somewhat in the same boat these days. Dominate recruiting, but don't have as much to show it (although Duke did have their Final Four last year)
Become a Kansas fan.During the game, the announcer had said that in Bill Self’s 20 year career at Kansas, they’ve never been worse than a 4 seed. That’s truly remarkable. Unfortunately nowadays at Kentucky, we are thrilled with a 4 seed. But that’s 20 straight years of a team in contention every single year without 1 “bad” season.

He's had some really bad tournament losses as a favorite during his time there... Bucknell, Bradley, Northern Iowa, VCU and Stanford. Some Kansas fans won't admit it but Self has taken a lot of heat over those games.Self has underachieved a lot to, he just gets a little pass now because he has 2 now
I love how he is squeaky clean and they do have 4 titles, I'm so jealousDuring the game, the announcer had said that in Bill Self’s 20 year career at Kansas, they’ve never been worse than a 4 seed.

Serious question. Do you only post when KY is down? I noticed on the football board you did that also. That wasn't my question, it is, are you a fan of another team, or just so GD miserable, you want everyone to be miserable?We worry about making the tourney while they worry about 1 vs 2 seeds ... we are fiddling as Rome ( Lexington) burns .
