Miami is crushing Mississippi State early....

Even when Cal doesn't get what he wants, he still somehow finds a way to fall backwards into something even better in terms of talent, coachability, and team chemistry.

It's remarkable, really.

At some point during the year Newman , Kennard , and Brown will each be watching Murray and say to themselves , " that coulda been me " . I know none of them are as good as Murray but I'm bettin they think they are . Same with Zimmerman when Humphries is more known nationally than him . I'm not sayin Humphries will have a better year but Zman just won't get the same kind of exposure .

That is an absolute lie, Zimmerman is 20x more known than Humphries. And playing at UNLV didn't hurt Anthony Bennett in a terrible draft class did it?

But Zaytoven told us Newman was the best guard coming out of high school since Brandon Knight and by taking Briscoe we made a huge mistake we would regret.

I'm assuming Zaytoven is a UL fan?

Well it can't be a lie cause it's an opinion ,lol . And I'm not talking about guys like you and me . I'm talking about the casual basketball fan that doesn't stay up and watch games after midnight . Didn't say anything about his draft status either . But since you brought up Bennett , I remember ALOT of people saying " who the hell is that ?" when he was drafted . And again , I'm not talking about basketball junkies like me and you .

Tone tried to hook him up. He could have been balling in Baton Rouge

LSU would've been a better option this year - hey, it Elvis Costello's son still down there?

Naw, just a stupid UK fan.

You forget to mention Brandon Ingram who already got to have that experience face to face! lol (Ingram is still a lock for the top 10 though)

Choosing to not judge a talented freshmen after only two games is unfounded in reality? Those steep expectations is what has left UK fans so heartbroken the past two seasons.

What? Last two seasons were awesome, just not spectacular. Losing in the final four is always heartbreaking

I stand by my statement. Newman is better than Briscoe. If the two swapped teams you would be dangling off Newman and bashing Briscoe so shut it.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Newman would of been better off going to even Texas A&M, Vandy, Florida...... anywhere besides a pathetic and horrible team. Same reason why Monk would of been better off choosing any fringe top 40 team rather than Arkansas (and I'm glad he chose UK ) ... One outstanding player and 4 average or below average players is way too easy to defend...... focus on one guy , the elite player and make the other 4 beat you.

Howland didn't try and sell Russell. He used Westbrook as his bait. He didn't coach Russell.

Geez, Dude, go back and tell that to the guy whose post said he did. You think there's no coach out there not named Calipari who has said to a recruit, "You can be as good as Derrick Rose?"

 

[BBUK]

You dick.

DEEEEFENSE....your first case is waiting....

Geez, Dude, go back and tell that to the guy whose post said he did. You think there's no coach out there not named Calipari who has said to a recruit, "You can be as good as Derrick Rose?"

And of course they coached Derrick Rose too....Geez, if you're going to shoot at someone, put some bullet's in first...jmuo

Yes. The heartbreak of consecutive FF appearances. The heartbreak of winning 38 straight games to start a season. The heartbreak of losing seven guys to the NBA, starting as preseason #2, and promptly beating Duke pretty easily. In the same week that 3 top 10 recruits commit to play next season. It's all been so devastating.

I've been so depressed about all of it, I can barely get out of bed.

Now I know you can't be talking to me since that was my point, ICYMI.

Reading comprehension. This is a new season.
