What do all those players have in common as far as when they played?
In the last 7 years, list all the freshman "dudes" you can recall. 🙂
I named several that we were told that were dudes that weren't.What do all those players have in common as far as when they played?

No nitpicking a guy who has been here not even 2 months yet is ridiculous. If he has issues later on year one going on into year 2 there can and should be discussionsSo basically. No concerns will be tolerated. Because Pope played here 30 years ago, when I was in college, and had hair on my head. And that makes me feel fuzzy. When did this board turn into groupthink central?
Robinson isn’t significantly better than Lanier, they are closeRobinson is a bigger fish than Lanier and it's nit even a debate. I want Robinson!
you need a couple nba guys that’s always been the caseThem: “We NeEd A sTuD”
Me: We have the most efficient player from this past season.
Them: “If He WaS aNy GoOd WhY iSnT hE oN mOcK dRaFtS?”
Me: 🤦🏻♂️
You can’t make Calipari era fans understand, you don’t need an Anthony Davis type of star to win a title.
None of those guys were on the level of the 2nd batch you mentioned. Post 2015ish, very, very few freshman have been alpha types anywhere. You had Zion, the kid ar Gonzaga a couple of years ago, maybe Brandon Miller, but I don’t know that he was an alpha type. There just haven't been many at all.I named several that we were told that were dudes that weren't.
Because they didn't really exist. There has been a massive diminshment in the freshman talent pool over the last decade.And that is the downfall of caliparis tenure in a nutshell. He didn't get the same high end quality of players here the 2nd half of tenure as the first for the most part.

We need an experienced leader, who can take over a game in crunch time. Otherwise, we will just be average.

You got to be in possession of the cornbread in order to lose it.😊If we lose on him Robinson seems the only other guy we are in good with. Wells doesn't have UK on his list and Poplar seems a Nova lean. Not ideal.
I think Robinson is craftier around the basket and has more versatile ways to score. Lanier is a better 3 point shooter. Robinson has also played tougher competition so there's that as well.Robinson isn’t significantly better than Lanier, they are close
avoiding the conflict of the previous posts
UT is doing all they can to get him. Hopefully the kid think being 3 hours form Knoxville is close enough to home
Robinson is more prepared for the P5 level and UK. The SEC and Big12 are very similar in terms of talent and competitiveness. Certainly moreso than the ASUN. Plus, he knows Pope's system alreadyRobinson isn’t significantly better than Lanier, they are close
I think Robinson is much more of a sure thing, having performed well in the Big 12 for Pope at BYU.Robinson is more prepared for the P5 level and UK. The SEC and Big12 are very similar in terms of talent and competitiveness. Certainly moreso than the ASUN. Plus, he knows Pope's system already
Don't need the big time stud to win in today's college game,and secondly the guy has barely been here a month. You guys are just PITIFUL!!!@@@Not the big time stud type players. Recruiting was always the question with Pope.
Robinson is a bigger fish than Lanier and it's nit even a debate. I want Robinson!
You left out Tubby.Why would Lanier, Robinson, or anyone else consider Kentucky over Tennessee?

He's over the top stupid. Hasn't even recruited freshmen yetPope has been here less than 2 months …be ****ing reasonable man. You look stupid.

But what, then, when the mockingbird vigilantly guards the tree?You got to be in possession of the cornbread in order to lose it.😊
And the Cal worshippers need to come to the realization that not even a truckload of NBA draft picks guarantees you success in the post-season. You HAVE to have that experience (even if they're not all 4-5 stars) and a couple of transcendent players. Transcendent meaning that they're NOT predicted to be NBA All-Stars, but rather they possess some skill that really separates them from the others.There really has
It seemed for the first 5-7 years of Calipari’s tenure there was a glut of crazy insane talent…
Then it tapered way off. I think what we see now is the norm. That period between 2009-2015 was an exception.
Right next to the pinto beans, stinking the place up.Cornbread is. He's one of the few that's always negative on here and when people disagree he calls them names like a keyboard warrior
Sorry for the oversight. Thanks for those who caught the error. It has now been corrected. Further emphasizes the point. Also, of those 5 coaches, none have won championships at any other stops (given UL had to forfeit theirs under Pitino).Why would Lanier, Robinson, or anyone else consider Kentucky over Tennessee?

2019 Virginia and 2020 Baylor each only have 1Please someone show me where a team in the modern era won the title without a couple nba guys. It doesn’t happen
Same —Not panicking or doom and glooming just the vibes I get, but I would say Lanier is Tennessee bound most likely now
I’m going off the sleepers media people saying they heard it’s Tennessee most likelySame —
He seems to be sharing a lot on social
Didn’t see a single post about his UK visit
Yeah this is feeling starting to feel like a wrapDoes anyone know if Chaz did any Instagram stories during his visit to UK? This is the 3rd now for UT
So you don’t need good players to win in today’s college game? That’s an interesting take.Don't need the big time stud to win in today's college game,and secondly the guy has barely been here a month. You guys are just PITIFUL!!!@@@
So are we to assume all of these guys who hear stuff have connections with literally every recruit?I’m going off the sleepers media people saying they heard it’s Tennessee most likely
He didn't post he was tagged. Only thing he posted was "woah" with a Pic of the thr UT rock lol.Yeah this is feeling starting to feel like a wrap
Where do you people keep coming from?Yeah this is feeling starting to feel like a wrap
