Wish he had put us to better use.I’m still mad because Diallo used us.
You typed a whole bunch of words and didn't even come close to answering my question.
Again, why is something that every kid should do suddenly this huge deal that has you guys so upset? What does it hurt to get feedback?
By the way, you said yourself he has major injury history. Why wouldn't you try to get paid as soon as possible when your body could give out on you at any time?
If that's the case then we are not the top program like we say we are. All it takes is the right coach being the right fit. We made two bad hires after Pitino that set us back but we were doing quite well under Prick. Even Joe B and Eddie Sutton did pretty well for the most part besides when the bottom fell out on Sutton. You all act like we were bottom feeders before Cal.Yeah, it's quite comical. They will get what they want sometime soon and be crying about not being able to ever make a Final Four again like before.
You just created, injured, and tossed out seven hypothetical players *and* determined that their performance would result in a first round loss.
Here's a scenario for why it's a good precedent:
The most talented kid in the country gets hurt the summer he's a rising senior. He tells teams his timetable for a return is the following August but that he may miss the out of conference schedule.
They ask for a more definitive timeline, he turns them away. He sees Cal's history of handling guys properly and commits to Kentucky.
He's healthy by August and he and the other six top 30 players win a championship for the Cats.
Yea because we have sucked so bad lmao.Oh hell its already broken. It went to shit years ago. That first draft class with Cal may have hurt near as much as it helped. It started all this crap.
Guys, get a life! If you get upset because some basketball player is not going to come back to UK, after his Freshmen year, you've got a problem, much bigger then anyone on this site can cure. I guarantee you that UK will put a team on the floor next year, and they will probably do as well, or better then the team did last year.
I think it's hilarious how some of you get so upset over basketball.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
It has been so ridiculous that Cal has won 4 consecutive SEC tournaments. How dare he do that with a bunch of one and dones.If 2/3 of PJ, Jared and Wenyen don't come back then Cal needs to change something. This is getting ridiculous.
How dare Cal win 4 consecutive SEC tournaments with a new roster every year.Another arrogant, condescending, little prick comment from you that means nothing. I guess you're thrilled with another new roster again. How about not being a blowhard 100% of the time? Maybe just be one 95% of the time. You have zero credibility if you think everything's great all the time. Grow some testicles.
I am so proud of you.it's so ridiculous just really don't much care any more
If next years tournament run ends like this season or worse cal will be out. No way do our fan base put up with the turnover and no championships. It’s lose lose for us the fan and honestly we are the only thing that matters. We fill rupp, we are responsible for Tv revenues, BBN is the program. UK makes coaches great not vice versa and our fanbase is what makes our program great our history of expectations. It won’t matter what cal did 5 years ago his system is broke and if he is as stubborn as he looks right now he will have 2 years left tops.
With that said maybe all those guys return. In that case the situation changes but I’ll tell you right now there are some important people to the program who are very skeptic right now.
SEC tournaments? Really? That's what you're hanging your hat on? Wow. You've convinced me we're worse off than I thought.How dare Cal win 4 consecutive SEC tournaments with a new roster every year.
How dare Cal win 4 SEC tournament championships in a row with all these one and dones. Let's see there are 13 other SEC teams and some of them with no one and dones. Our fans will never put up with winning SEC championships with a new roster every year or beating Louisville 90% of the time. This must stop.If next years tournament run ends like this season or worse cal will be out. No way do our fan base put up with the turnover and no championships.

. I miss Joe B Hall days when we got Top recruits and they all stayed for the most part 4 years!
We’ve only had two lottery picks leave. Getting ahead of yourself.Why are you here? You sound like you couldn't care less, Real fans give a crap about the team.
If you don't think it's a joke that players that aren't projected to go in the first round are leaving, then you're not a fan. Get off your high horse and keep rooting for that God Awful NBA.
Dean Smith was at North Carolina 36 years and won 2 championships. How did North Carolina fans put up with that incompetence.SEC tournaments? Really? That's what you're hanging your hat on? Wow. You've convinced me we're worse off than I thought.
It’s always been about money. No out of state kid ever fantasized about being a great Kentucky player. Even then it was “what can the University do for me?”Yes yes that's right sorry, but NOW it's because UK=NBA$$$$$$
THEN UK= because it was the best school.
You said it perfectly, back then it was like smart kids going to Harvard. It made sense for kids to come here because K E N T U C K Y was the Harvard of Basketball for those that were gifted and talented in Basketball.
But you know that's not the case NOW right?
Hence why the people who are positive continue to remain so.1 Question...... How is he going to work out on an bad foot ? Can he run, make cuts, jump ?
Yeah but I doubt Cal never wins another title while at UK with the way things are going and UK fans are all about national championships not sec champs. I don’t think Cal will be fired, but he will see the writing on the wall and eventually step down if he’s no longer successful.How dare Cal win 4 SEC tournament championships in a row with all these one and dones.

No longer successful. He has done more at UK than any other coach in the last 40 years.Yeah but I doubt Cal never wins another title while at UK with the way things are going and UK fans are all about national championships not sec champs.

I am at a loss with our fans sometimes. It is a free opportunity to get feedback. Why wouldn't he take advantage of this? Now if he gets told no shot and still leaves then that is the problem.
Him not going to see what NBA scouts tell him would be stupid. It is for this reason the NCAA made it more friendly for kids to get the feedback. Now nobody can control if they still do something stupid but at least it is an informed stupid decision.

It’s already been 3 years since a final four. If he fails to reach another one in four to five years, fans are going to want him gone, and he will eventually step down like tubby did. Not saying that will happen or that I want it to happen, but a 7 year drought with no final fours would not sit well with fans.No longer successful.

Name ONE important person to the program skeptical of Cal.
Just one.
As I have stated before, assuming you are a fan, you may be one of the least informed posters here.
And now you want us to believe that you have contacts with “some very important people to the program”?
Again provide names, if they are so important im sure that gave no idea who you are.
Give us the names and I can promise you that I can confirm or deny with them what you have stated.

I’m saying if he goes another 4 or 5 years without a final four, fans will get pissed. That would be 7 to 8 years without a final four. His seat would be boiling hot.Before Cal got here we hadn’t been to a FF in almost 15 years ... 3 titles in half a century ...
Now 3 years removed from a 38-0/ FF team is “to long?”
That’s what I’m saying. 4 or 5 more years without a final four would be time to change things up. It’s really hard to win big with an all freshman team, so somethings gotta change here in the next couple of years.Damn Rondo, 5 Years?
We are also one year from a last second buzzer beater from going to our 5th FF.
If we haven’t been to a FF in the next 5 years I agree we need to change things up.
