Nice article, buncha errors. Editor should really get his ish together.

It's a rule of journalism that no good ever came out of a five part series. I hope this is just off-season click bait for Kentucky fans and Kentucky haters. The first piece was benign.

Nah, its a Mike DeCourcy piece. He's a uk and calipari fan if there ever was one.

I enjoyed the read and looking forward to the rest. Thanks for posting.

Agree, it's pandering. But, I think it's cool for him to actually shine a good light on Cal as a person.

It doesn't really matter though. UK fans will eat it up, regardless, and none of this will ever change the mind of anyone from the "MARCUS CAMBY ACCEPTED MONEY FROM AN AGENT, DERRICK ROSE CHEATED ON THE SAT, AND THAT MEANS CAL IS A CHEATING SCUMBAG WHO DIRECTLY PAYS ALL RECRUITS A MILLION DOLLARS TO COME TO UK WHERE THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND DONT GO TO CLASS" crowd.

Note: I realize I left out William Wesley and Nike from that scenario, but that's too much time already wasted on trying to think like an idiot.

This basically sums up the views of any non UK fan. So ridiculous and played out.

Cal is the man. The very few that harps on "OHHHH he didn't win the title more" is clearly the minority and basically has zero knowledge of the game of basketball.
