How many of the in-state kids that Cal didn't recruit ended up making a significant impact at a power 5 program? I'll wait...
Max Green Oldham County
- Thread starter rolaid
- Start date
All I know is this kid from Kentucky ripped IU a new A hole last night gutsy performance signs of killer instinct
I mentioned him in another thread. He is very skilled and was off the radar because he has grown late. He would have been the perfect player to let develop a year or so while his body catches up with the height.
Serious and curious question, why do you run around and either tag my post with a "wow" or "sad' emoji ? In the last 2 days there has been 10 or so post of mine you simply posted an emoji in it. IF you have a difference of opinion or problem with what I am posting, maybe post why instead of taking the chicken shit way out and posting emojis. I will come directly to you on your post, no hiding. With that said, way to give input on the topic being discussed by bringing Cal into it. Maybe that is why you do not come directly to me and hide behind emojis, you are just an terrible poster and lack the ability to discuss intelligently with words. Based on this post, I can see that as being the reason. Either state your issue, or do not reply to my post.

I believe that. The talent in the state has increased significantly in the past few years.
Let's try again.
The point is not that Perry will play like Fox. The point is that you can't gauge much on a one game performance.
Cal did not recruit these but Jeff Mullins Phil cox Kenny Higgs Dave Cowans come to mind
Does anybody read the post anymore- how the hell do we go from saying how did the likes of NKU OR WKU missing out on a 6’6” scorer who was obviously the best player on the floor last night in a All Star game peppered with top D1 talent morph in to DeAaron Fox or Dwight Blur Anderson conversation
Nobody mentioned Pope missed him or Calapari- I’m just saying Holy Cross is suprising for state leading scorer with that size & ability

Same thing, lol. Hell throw Allen Houston in for good measure. Travis Ford and Darrell Griffith also if we are going that far back. I think the debate was during Cal's time at UK.

I believe these 3 proved good enough to play for UK.

yes all three were taken over Lofton
at the time that choice was a no brainer
unless i am misreading your answer
Tubby didn’t recruit Lofton imo because Lofton’s team beat Tubby’s youngest’s team in the state championship game.
Kids play different when they put on that Uk jersey. Some make it and some fold. Some live their dream and for some that dream becomes a nightmare. The reason Cal didnt recruit Ky kids was simple. He didnt want the responsibility of have to play them bacause the Ky fans want them to play.
? He was never offered by UK. Cal hated in state kids.
I was referring to (finally remembered)
Stephan Peddigrew from Elizabethtown.
Yeah. It would have KILLED Cal’s coaching performance if he had used one of the many unused scholarships on a Ky kid.
He didn't hate Kentucky kids. Kentucky kids are mostly not elite. Cal can't win unless he has ELITE ELITE players. A kid ranked 175th from Hazard isn't going to be the "x-factor" on a team where there are no adjustments made. If you think the lack of Kentucky kids contributed to the losses during the Cal era, then God bless you.
Would you be huffing and puffing if Josh Carrier, Brandon Stockton, or Jared Carter were never recruited by UK?

I'll probably get called a "Calboi", but the former coach gets a pass from me for not recruiting the late 1970's Boston Celtics legend, Dave Cowens.
I hope you are correct, but I have a hard time seeing it. I have a feeling if he plays a lot of minutes at Kentucky, it will be a rough time for Pope.
The thing is he won’t be playing much this year, if he cracks this rotation then he’s really good. He just needs to play hard and improve for the time he will get his chance.
'We took it personal.' No technical difficulty this time as Indiana All-Stars beat Kentucky
Mr. Basketball Flory Bidunga goes for 31 points and 17 rebounds as Indiana All-Stars knock off Kentucky to split the annual series.

And if he goes to Holy Cross and proves to be a great player, then UK can always offer him a better NIL gig than Holy Cross will ever be able to and we get him through the portal.
We can’t be taking every guy who can shoot from Kentucky.. let some of them transfer here if they prove good enough at the likes of holy cross etc. Perry and Noah were top 105 in the country so they are takes but Max Green wasn’t on the radar until 2 all star games..
I'm still shocked a kid of this skill and measurables went so under the radar. Did he just not do the aau circuit?
I am shocked that Kentucky made no attempt to contact him 6 ft 8 scoring machines don't come around to often no way remotely am I comparing him to Larry bird but coming out of hs alot of schools passed on larry too and ended up at a similar class school Indiana St and the rest is history
