Kentucky will practice against La Familia ahead of The Basketball Tournament
The 2024-25 Kentucky men's basketball team will have the opportunity to play against a group of professionals next week.
I'll give Kyle the benefit of the doubt. He put up with some crap here, and worked to get better, but I find it odd that after all UK did for him his first reaction was to "put on a Razorback uniform". Like you said, it makes me wonder if Kyle was only echoing what most of the rest of the players under Cal echoed. That UK doesn't really matter to them.Love that we’re mending the fracture with some of Cals guys. I saw where Wiltjer apologized for his pic in a razorback uniform and said it was a mistake and he was caught up in the moment. Said he’s BBN for life. Cousins will eventually do the same. Calipari made a lot of sht about himself to the point where his former players felt the need to choose but again, Kentucky is too big for typical Cal games. It’s not gonna work here. I expect nearly all of his former players to end up back at UK just like the rest. Even Ulis isn’t messing around with that. This is the place they’ll be remembered forever, this is where they’re famous. Again Calipari should tell all of them, if he cares, not to ruin what they have at Kentucky but he won’t because it’s all about him and always has been. But then I even feel he knows it too, that’s why he back tracked and moved lightly on the way out while throwing us a rose. Kentucky is just too big to mess about with.
When AD retires he’s the one we need to have back and put his damn jersey in the rafters. It’s for the Kentucky brand and legacy. Heal all the fractures over the years and make it all about Kentucky. These games are a good start.
Yeah, but there is no way a group of returning Kentucky players would embarrass the incoming team, especially under a new head coach who is trying to win over the fanbase...Would not be a good look...Gonna be a tougher game by far than any real game they play against college teams this season.
AWESOME 😎![]()

I don’t consider Kyle bbn for life didn’t he leave for GonzagaI'll give Kyle the benefit of the doubt.

He sure did. I don't think he really appreciates what UK did for him. Leaves UK for Gonzaga, but puts on a rival jersey to worship the coach he couldn't get away fast enough from. Very odd, at best.I don’t consider Kyle bbn for life didn’t he leave for Gonzaga

I agree, I think Wall and AD should have their jerseys hung. Wall started the Cal era, NPOY and number one pick, AD won everything. Mend it up with all the guys. They are all wildcats.Love that we’re mending the fracture with some of Cals guys.

Wiltjer has done nothing but spoken good things about us and always represents for us. He loves the school as much as anyone IMO. He wanted a bigger role for his career and it worked out well. These days getting a player 2 years is awesome.I don’t consider Kyle bbn for life didn’t he leave for Gonzaga
Alex Poythress was already starting over Wiltjer, and Marcus Lee and Julius Randle were coming in the following year. I don't see how you can fault the guy for leaving.I don’t consider Kyle bbn for life didn’t he leave for Gonzaga
I'll take that as a compliment, lol. This one's too close to call.Couple screws loose.

Kentucky doesn't matter most on this team left after a year cal and the green room comes first and only first good riddanceI'll give Kyle the benefit of the doubt.

Kyle never had the makings of a varsity athleteHe sure did. I don't think he really appreciates what UK did for him. Leaves UK for Gonzaga, but puts on a rival jersey to worship the coach he couldn't get away fast enough from. Very odd, at best.
Yes that was dumb and he did apologize. He’s going to support his coach as well. I just don’t get hung up on that kinda stuff. I don’t like the Sharpes of the world, who fast used us to go pro and didn’t even try to play along with gaslighting everyone the entire time he was here.Except when he posted a picture of himself in a photoshopped Arkansas jersey and said “sorry BBN, I’ll be at Arkansas now”.
Yes I think he took it back but man, whew man. He’s got some apologizing to do in big ways.
Why not? I find that logic a waste of effort. Whats not a good look would be if they supported Arkansas ov amything Kentucky. Remember, every team will someday have a new coach.Yeah, but there is no way a group of returning Kentucky players would embarrass the incoming team, especially under a new head coach who is trying to win over the fanbase...Would not be a good look...

I figured Kyle would be a Zag for life since that's where he went and was allowed to flourish and play in a system that fit his style of play.I'll give Kyle the benefit of the doubt.

I put Marcus Lee into the same category. The guy bleeds blue more than a large portion of recent previous players.I think Kyle reps both honestly. He never quit repping Kentucky on X and with the media. The issue is his championship is here so that’s gonna have a lot of weight.

The players you posted about. Years from now, they will all be remembered as former UK players, not John Calipari players.Love that we’re mending the fracture with some of Cals guys. I saw where Wiltjer apologized for his pic in a razorback uniform and said it was a mistake and he was caught up in the moment. Said he’s BBN for life. Cousins will eventually do the same.

We've got 12 guys on this team that play for pay. LolThat La Familia roster is about 10 to 12 points better than what we've got. If Pope's guys keep it close, I'll be impressed. With Ulis coaching them, it will be a war.
The pro team has a ton of legitimate talent: Bledsoe, Harrison, Teague, Lamb, Grady, Young, Travis, WCS, Orton, Sestina.
That's five former 1st round picks, and 10 guys who have played for pay their entire careers.
Andrew is not listed on the roster.Both Harrison’s are playing right ?
Weird. I just checked and the La Familia instagram page said both are playing. Maybe the roster isn’t all the way updated.Andrew is not listed on the roster.

You can fault his work ethic and question his mental fortitude.Alex Poythress was already starting over Wiltjer, and Marcus Lee and Julius Randle were coming in the following year. I don't see how you can fault the guy for leaving.
What about Joe B. Hall?I don’t consider Kyle bbn for life didn’t he leave for Gonzaga
