Tai Wynyard Suspended

I don't think Tai is the only"project" we have on this team,he is a different type of "project"
 
How about 4-stars that turn into 5-stars after 1-2 years instead of 3-stars that turn into 5-stars after 2-3 years? Or how about a bunch of 2-stars that turn into 5 stars after 3-4 years? Maybe some 1-stars that turn into 5 stars after 4-5 years (redshirt)?

I think you’re on to something. But if they get into trouble, blame Cal.

He was suspended for attending rush week parties while accompanied by some kid carrying and flashing a pistol while the kid claimed he was his “protection”



Wasn’t pushed out, not grades.

TevWool has the correct story, although Tev I will caution you on releasing this data so early in the process.

Dumb move by Tai and even dumber friend.
 
LOL here we go. You’re not gonna draw me into your childish message board games. No, you disagree with me by posting a childish response and when I replied politely, you came back like a little childish asshole. That’s all. Continue...
Poor thing. Someone needs a cookie to soothe his ruffled feathers. Your original post was so ill conceived and off base its deserved the response it got. I clearly answered you why it was. UK’s roster is no different from any other team for example like Duke that I mentioned, in the same circumstances. You got called out for your stupidity and didn’t like it. That’s on you.
 
Cal needs to start recruiting super 3 stars. You can’t have a roster full of 5 stars, or low 3 stars. You need super 3 stars that turn into 5 stars after 2-3 years. The fact that Wynyard is still playing like a 3 star, and no only that, he’s now a suspended 3 star is completely on Cal.
Super

I’ll answer your question with another question.

What role does a monarch play in either countries’ government?

Just admit that you thought New Zealand was actually a state of Australia.

I just want to know the relationship of Germany and Pearl Harbor...been thinking about that for years.

Nah I’m good. How dare I question the staff giving a bad basketball player a scholarship though. Stupid me. You do realize that you and others are being a little sensitive, right? The fact that you jump on something as simple as this as if it’s the craziest thought seems you’re getting your feathers ruffled? Your “poor thing”’and “little girl” stuff is funny or whatever but all good over here. Lol. If you’re gonna act like an asshole, be prepared to get called an asshole. That’s on you.
 
Acting like an asshole? Because I disagree with your moronic, brainless takes? You think to highly of yourself little girl.

Please continue. :popcorn:

Lol. You calling me an asshole is like water off a duck’s back. I called your post lame so you started the name calling with asshole. That’s the good thing about posts- the proof is in writing. If you want to start name calling, I’m good with it. It doesn’t change the fact your original post was way off base.

Lol then just say you think it’s way off base. I don’t really care. Keep trollin’....

[roll]If calling out that post is trolling in your eyes, so be it. However, I will say I’ve been on here long enough to know you are a UK fan and so we are still good in my book in spite of our differences, so to speak. [laughing]

It’s all good;)
 
Cats78 is right - you tell me the Williams kid @ NKU or the Johnson kid @ WKU would not have signed out of High School
Both would play major minutes right now @ UK because they know how to play and are physical
No we go get tall projects

Maybe those guys wanted to actually play and not sit behind more talented players??

The Williams kid is a 6'5" PF. That's fine for whatever level NKU plays at, but he'd get eaten up in the SEC and is only overhyped on this board because of where he's from.

The Johnson kid was going to take minutes from?? He would've been a freshman the 38-1 year, wouldn't have played over a senior Poythress or Marcus Lee his sophomore year; wouldn't have played over Bam, Wenyen or Willis last year. Kid probably wanted to play and not sit for three years so he went to a school that fit his abilities more.

Tai is fine. We don't need 13 super good players, only 5 play at a time. Practice players are a thing. That's what Tai is.

Stop recruiting over guys and problem solved. UK does not need to recruit another 2G for the next 3 years. But if course if the next great thing is a 2G Cal will.

Also a perfect time to recruit a 5 that is a top 100 not top 10. Who knows what Wiseman will do.

Pick a couple guys who are good who can play and develop them over time and get the 5 stars you want at other positions. The idea that you need to get as many 5 stars as you can and hope they all leave after 1 year is faulty and will not win a title.

Only stubbornness would preclude anyone from seeing that at this point.
BTW UK has already offered 7 2019 guys.

[laughing] It amazes that some never realize their conversations are documented. May be an idea to type just a tad bit slower and read what you type before hitting the post button.

Stop recruiting over guys????


That is the oddest remark I have seen.

Every coach tries to improve every position each recruiting cycle.

How would you go about recruiting lesser kids and turning away better ones?

People are already crying in their purses over Duke’s recruiting this year and next.
 
Harsh but...Another disappointment by the staff. Injury, suspension, whatever... this guy wasn't/isn't going to contribute anyway. I find it hard to believe that the staff couldn't land someone more capable than a project from New Zealand. This is the part that bothers me...the staff's inability to build the necessary pieces AROUND the 5 stars. Not asking for much... just some contribution. He gave us nothing and to add to that, he's apparently doing things worthy of suspension.

Every player can't be a contributor right away. There are only 200 minutes per game, and 13 scholarships. I think you want 1-2 "projects" on the team. They do sometimes pan out and contribute (Epps, Estill, Daniels, Perry, Stevenson, Harrellson, Willis, Hawkins).

We didn't need to recruit a PG for 4 years when we had Ulis, a four year player, and Hawkins, a sophomore Kentucky boy, along with sophomore Andrew Harrison.

I'm pretty glad we did.

You might want to take a break for a bit. That's an absolutely awful take. Cal is just supposed to assume Herro is here for four years and that Baker is healthy/good and doesn't need a single backup?

Went to hs with the friend, can confirm your statement

Wynyard is the recruit that Cal alluded to the in past where he said "I'll never take another recruit I didn't see play in person". He took him at recommendation of his good friend/Nike exec George Raveling. Wynyard is a poor fit for a Cal coached team in that he's not athletic but he's also not tough. He comes up with excuses and the staff has tried to give him time, but he doesn't want to work hard enough to earn minutes. His mystery ailments are tiresome. He needs to be sent packing in offseason.

I don't think Cal would push him out, but if given an opportunity (like this one it seems) he'd have a good reason to not continue the partnership. Kid goes back home to Austria and makes some money being a big guy in the paint. Could be worse.
