I couldn't have said it better myself. EXACTLY what I was thinking."Selfish"
Everyone has their own interests and it's fine.
Cal and the players have their own interests and fans have their interests. It's quite simple. Many of us don't give a crap about the basic premise of an individual getting wealthy and going to play ball professionally. We are fans of Kentucky, our "selfishness" is to see Kentucky win and for us to enjoy seeing the program hang banners and add to the tradition; not just serve as a minor league team with no success.
Why so many think that we should all be commanded to just blindly be excited because guys who spent six or seven months on campus, didn't win anything and were super eager to leave, declare for the draft. "It's their dream." Okay. So? Great. I'd like to see Kentucky win 11 championships. That's my dream. Both are okay to have. I'm not going to puff my chest out because a guy is simply getting rich. But you come here, play your heart out, actually add to the legacy then yeah, it makes it a lot easier to cheer you on to get your dreams.
But losing 11 games, get a 5 seed and get bounced by 9 seed K-State and then have six guys possibly go pro, putting Kentucky in a difficult spot to actually get a championship? Why should that make anyone happy? We are fans, not Calipari.
If he can't workout, he can get feedback thru Cal now. Correct?
You realize he said he needed surgery, right? You realize he had like a week or 2 to rest for the tournament?You realize it's been a month right? And he was day to day then.
You can need surgery and still work out. Kyrie Irving needed surgery for like a year and a half before finally having it done.
It doesn’t hurt. They should all get feedback. But it allows certain posters to bitch, moan and slam Cal. Then when they return, they won’t say a word. The narrative will shift to the next reason to bitch and moan.You didn't answer me. Why not go? What does it hurt?
Richards & 4 freshman, even lou. will be favored over us.

You can keep your head in the sand as long as you want but there are some red flags about his desire to play in a Kentucky uniform.

i’m sure you and other cheat fans are praying as much.Vando is gone he's not coming back.
Lol people getting upset about these young guys leaving. Man let them do what's best for them and there family.
The most frustrating thing is that this stuff gives the Cal haters (not criticizers .., there’s a difference) and miserable “fans” the perceived ammo to continue to bitch and moan and bitch and moan.
Some of these guys have been shitting on Cal/ UK all season long with the “NIT is a legit possibility” threads and the “Reverse Jinx” threads and the dozen or so “we should replace Cal” posts/ threads.
I mean yeah, it sucks. It’s laughable to think Vanderbilt and co are in any way ready for the nba ... but wtf are we gonna do? Fire Cal?
It’s frustrating and annoying at times, but based off the last 9 years (which is still the most successful run in school history? Sans maybe the 1940’s/50’s) I will continue to give Cal thr benift of the doubt that most years he’s gonna have us right in the discussion for a legit FF run.
There is better chance Diallo goes number one in the nba draft.Richards & 4 freshman, even lou. will be favored over us.
Here is a scenario for you and why this is not a good precedent. What if Cal recruits seven top 30 guys. Two may have small injuries and drag out their playing all year. They play sporadically and know they can still go first round based on history. The other five play and two are definite first round picks. We expect the other three to come back but they don't and all get drafted in the second round. We didn't even make it out of the round of 64 but lose all seven. That is what seems to be happening in the near future. This team should have lost two guys but may end up having none return.
Well at least we know we aren’t losing everybody. Richards is returning. LOL But if it comes to losing entire squads yearly, not just the certain first rounders, and we are a 10-loss team every year with early NCAA outs, I’d say if Cal wouldn’t adjust, he’d have a hard time keeping fans continuing to believe.Here is a scenario for you and why this is not a good precedent.

You don't go because you're injured and I don't really think it helps the team or culture for everyone to think they need to immediately run to the draft. It's pointless, he can't workout, he can't participate in the combine. That makes going pointless. Anything he gets from it he could have gotten from Lexington.You didn't answer me. Why not go? What does it hurt?
Cal is an NBA pimp and we are an NBA farm team. What a mockery of what Kentucky basketball means to the fans and our state.

You if you haven’t figured it out yet.What's the joke? I missed it.
The system is broke. It's embarrassing, if I rooted for another team I would say it looks like nobody wants to stay there.
Education obviously means nothing, name on front obviously means nothing.
If people are OK with this, why are you a "fan" here? If Cal didn't create the Kentucky effect NOBODY would come here. I miss Joe B Hall days when we got Top recruits and they all stayed for the most part 4 years!

Back then it was about the name on the front of the jersey. In other words I don't want my Alumni to be a condom that gets thrown in the trash after the player uses us to F@@K the system just so they can get to the NBA.
UK is the ugly lil sister being used just they can get close, and with the beautiful rich sister. Period. Silly shit.
you guys kills meOh 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.
That's not true. I played here. Football. I didn't know of basketball players aspirations in 1996-2000 but I remember growing up hearing how it was a privledge to play for a team such as UK by out of state guys. In the days of Kyle Macy, the goose, the 78 team is year I was born, I remember there interviews later in highschool in the library we had all the paper clippings. Back then it wasn't about the NBA. It was about the School. I'm sorry it was Gonzo. I know it's a different culture and time now, I just hate we are the poster boy for it.It's never been about the name on the front of the jersey beyond what the prestige of that name could do for the player. Players have always come here because it's their best option.
If you hate it so much, why are you a "fan" here? You could at least way and confirm that these guys will be gone before trashing all of them.
I never trashed anyone. Sure those guys could come back but you're missing the point. If they came back it's because they had to. Who did I trash?If you hate it so much, why are you a "fan" here? You could at least way and confirm that these guys will be gone before trashing all of them.
Thank you, that's perfect explanation.He’s a fan of U.K. not a system. It’s all very simple. We pull for the university of Kentucky not the university of NBA or university of one and done. I think there is legit cause for concern after most of our team has one foot out the door. THis after we had a subpar regular season that led to a crappy seed then get the “luck” some say is needed only to lose to a trash team bc we can’t hit fts.
