Murray is the key

We just absolutely gotta get Murray. I just don't know what's up with this class though man. I mean any kid would want to play here but like I said in another thread you'd really think that after the story came out about Lisa Ann hooking up with Booker that every kid would be lined up to get here. I mean think about it. Playing for some straight laced goody coach like coach K? Or come here let Cal get you prepared for the NBA and be in the spotlight and be worshiped and be around rappers and porn stars. I mean just wow. Makes you wonder what's up with Mr. Newman, Zimmerman, Diallo, Ingram, Kennard and all the rest of em.


You cannot be a real person...
 
I would word it differently . I think right now we are the 3rd -5th best team in the land . With any of the remaining 5 stars - Murray , Maker or Brown , we are the 1 team with a bullet. But even so we are damnnnn good with the best player in college ball in Skal. 2 of the top 10 guards and a top 10 PF and a top 15 center. Could be muchhhh worse .



Geez Will, 3rd best in the nation as we are right now? UNC has their entire team back, UVA lost two players with 7 really good ones back, KU is loaded, Maryland, Iowa State. At least understand other teams are out there.

We have no shooting except for a juco, hopeful for Skal, Poy has not been close to being a top 10 PF since he arrived and he's coming off ACL, Ulis is serviceable, Briscoe will play out of position, Mathews is an unknown, yet we are for sure top 3?

I hope we can pull it together without shooters (plural) and the lack of big man depth, but I definitely don't see top 3.

Dude. Come on man. Seriously. I'm just being me bro. I'm not going to act like some cliché straight laced northern Caucasian proper guy just to please people on a message board. I'm gonna be myself and be proud to be a loud white boy meathead from southern Ky. No lies to tell. I'll be straight up. I'm that guy who gets excited and cheers when a fight breaks out at a baseball game. You be you and I'll be me bro, we're all UK fans. I'm just one of the ones who turns a car over after the game and you're one of the ones who smartly goes home lol.

Bro, you being you is an obnoxious nitwit, you are what rival fans think all of us are. No one cares about porn stars, rappers, being mad a kids that choose other schools, all the hell yeah bs.

You are being straightup I suggest you mature up, you are talking with adults on here.
 
If we add Murray and Brown, then we are set for sure.

Starters
G Ulis
G Murray
F Brown
F Poythress
F Labissiere

Key Reserves
G Briscoe
F Lee

Seven 5-stars. Three guards (Ulis, Briscoe, Murray) and four forwards (Brown, Poythress, Lee, Labissiere).

That team is the favorite to win the title.

If it's Murray or Brown, I would have to say Murray, just because we need shooting and Brown is not a great shooter. But I'll be very, very happy with either.

as i said i don't think we HAVE to get anybody as we are top 5 right now but if we want to be THE ELITE TEAM next year we need one more star . Brown hopefully but Murray would be nice . Can't see us getting both but there is plenty of room and Mulder did say he thought Cal wanted to bring 1-2 more in for sure.

You'd rather have Brown than Murray? I mean I'm hoping for both but if I had to pick 1 its gotta be Murray.

Some talk now that we might be in good shape with Brown. I wonder if we could get them both. Brown is a 3 and Murray is a 1/2, so it should be doable, but.....

You left out the player that committed to us last night.

HELL YES. WE need wings ( SF) . We got elite guards in ulis and Briscoe ( my favorite guard in this class) and a damn good one in Matthews. Mulder is a wing ( sorta) but Brown IS THE SF . best SF prospect in a few years really. ( since Bazz) . While Skal as the #1 pick on lock it seems like Brown and Simmons have 2 and 3 on lock so to get 2 of the 3 best prospects is a wet dream if it happened. IF is the key word .

We need a wing that can shoot. Murray can play the 3 and can shoot.

But I'll take Brown and smile.
 
Still no word on a visit from Murray? Matt said that he thought we should know something by tonight.

Seems very quiet on that front and coupled with the Kirk news makes me wonder if there's really something to the smoke that's starting to pop up regarding Brown. Figure Cal would be breaking his back trying to get Murray on campus for a visit unless he for sure knows something...

Think the last word is that Jamal said he is going to take his time on deciding what he is going to do. May be a while.
 
Once again, in light of Brown's decision, keep this in mind...

Murray is still the best "fit" out there for this team.

And if we don't get him, so be it. We will still be a preseason top 5 team, IMHO.

Without Murray? Yeah, I don't see that. No 3, and only 3 frontcourt players.
 
We currently have the best odds to win it all, tied with Duke, UNC, and Michigan St.

We have the talent:

G Ulis- 5-star
G Briscoe- 5-star
F Poythress- 5-star
F Labissiere- 5-star
F Lee- 5-star
G Mulder- 4-star
G Matthews- 4-star

Cal has said he will add 2 or 3 this spring and he has added one, so he is not done. If he adds another shooter on the wing, I think we are in good shape. If it's Murray, then we are golden, for sure.

Depth is overrated. Cal said he only plans to play a 6-7 man rotation.
 
I would love to add Murray, but until he says he will reclassify, I'm not even thinking about him!
 
I think we just needed a SF who can go coast to coast and has the flexibility to guard 2-4. Who can space a little and attack the paint.

Other than that, i think we have it pretty covered.
