Bro, you keep saying that as if to be a slight in some way against me.He’s a UGA fan
It was rupps family that needed to address it. Cal didn’t know Rupp. And although my opinion was Rupp was a good man that was a product of the time he lived in there are stories out there that say different.Pretty much when the discussion of Rupp came up and Cal didn't step up and provide a correct history of Rupp and the overall program.
Gonzaga this season is a perfect example of what the best rosters will look like moving forward. A mix of mostly experienced guys with a go-to veteran like Kispert and then mixing in a top freshman like SuggsWe don't want a roster of all four year players, not all 3 year players, not two year players, nor one and done's. A mix of all would be the best imo. We still need the Clarke's and Boston types but they have to produce which this years crop of O&D's did not.
NBA will not go for this. It’s really their player’s union who dictate the rules.You should either be able to go straight from high school or be required to stay in college 2 years.
Why are you even crying about it? On one hand fans are saying we need more shooters and on the other hand your upset Clarke is leaving. So what do you want? Clarke to stay where he has to start and his shooting to miraculously improve?
The college system I grew up with has forever changed, and not for the better. Transfers used to be those rare occurrences when a team might pick up a good ,experienced player from another team, after sitting a year. WE, and most other teams, are now looking at the transfer portal similar to the way we look at the HS recruiting process.
Even on this board, if the rumors are accurate, we are going to have 4 to 5 point guards looking to transfer in for next year. Many of the players talked about have not yet indicated a desire to transfer. Some are still playing in the NCAA tournament. But, I think we get Garrison Brooks. I heard it earlier from a mega poster on this board. It must be true.
Disagree. Cal's the coach. It's part of his job, or at least it should be, to discuss the legacy of UK and just what the game means to a lot of peopleIt was rupps family that needed to address it. Cal didn’t know Rupp. And although my opinion was Rupp was a good man that was a product of the time he lived in there are stories out there that say different.
What's he gonna say right now? "I think Terrence Clarke is a complete idiot for declaring for the NBA. He was the guy who needed to unpack his bags back in December. He's not ready for the NBA and it's clear his heart was never at Kentucky."
No, he's not gonna say that. If he did, it would destroy our recruiting. Every opposing coach in the nation would be using it against Cal on the trail. Also, nothing Cal says publicly will change Clarke's mind. I'm sure he had a talk with him privately, but it's also clear Clarke had his mind made up. Given the way made that statement- "renounce my remaining eligibility"- seriously?
So, what is Cal going to do? He's going to play nice. He's going to say kind things. In this situation, that's exactly what he should do.

I hear you but he doesn’t have to insult the intelligence of the fan base in the process. That statement (and the whole Clarke saga) was insulting.What's he gonna say right now?

He's not ready for the NBA and it's clear his heart was never at Kentucky."

You may want to read my post again. What I actually posted and what you replied are not related. I did not say Cal would reel in 4 to 5 transfers. I said posters have us (UK) trying to get 4 to 5 pg transfers. That may be accurate. It shows the optimism ,or something else, of some of the guys on this board. I was trying to show that the transfer market now stirs as much excitement as the HS cycle. Thats about it. Never said anything about "clean up'. Thanks for your interest.One of the doe eyed Calipari defense squad members excitedly stated Calipari would “clean up” and reel in 4-5 transfers lol. So now Kentucky basketball is dependent on getting a bunch of random and obscure transfers. To stay for a year.
But I mean, it’s not all bad. If we get 4-5 transfers we will have the biggest senior night we’ve had at Kentucky in over a decade!
So do you pull for Georgia when they play UK in football? If so, that makes you a complete clown.Bro, you keep saying that as if to be a slight in some way against me.
I'll continue to explain it to your limited mind. I will try to use as many single syllable words as possible to help keep it to your reading level.....which seems to be very limited.
I pull for UGA in football and UK in Bball......got it?
Even a third grader should be able to understand this. You might get it.
Nothing worst than a split fan. Love them all or none at all.So do you pull for Georgia when they play UK in football? If so, that makes you a complete clown.
Yes I do.So do you pull for Georgia when they play UK in football? If so, that makes you a complete clown.
Did you go to UGA?Yes I do.
But I pull for UK when they play UGA in bball....even when I was in Athens.
These TC threads won't have much shelf life. In two days, we will have forgotten he was ever here.
I’m with you a lot of the way here. But destroying his current recruiting scheme, top to bottom, is exactly what he can’t do fast enough. Wish he would get started.If he did, it would destroy our recruiting.
So you grew up in Kentucky but went to Uga? Is that what I’m picking up on?Yes I do.
But I pull for UK when they play UGA in bball....even when I was in Athens.

I couldn't agree more. Totally killed it, I find myself more excited about Spring Football than the NCAA tournament.It’s an atrocious sport. It really is. The one and done stuff has killed it, transformed a generation cause of it.

Will Clarke hire an agent? What if like Jackson he will only consider the draft if he is guaranteed to be a lottery pick
I'm with you on that - my question is who planted That seed?What he should do is stop recruiting so many that have no desire to be here and are only here because they have to be for a year. I’m not saying all 5 stars are like that, but some definitely are and it’s not even in question. They should be easy to identify throughout the recruiting process.
Agreed. I like horse racing, but very few races are “appointment TV” for me outside the Triple Crown and Breeder’s Cup. I casually follow the sport outside of 4-5 weeks out of the year. I cheer for my gambling picks.
College basketball is becoming the same. I watched 5 UK games after we lost to Louisville and it was apparent our season was toast. I’m having a ball watching March Madness but I’m cheering for my gambling picks.
Dang man, you are attached to Cal’s nut sack like a leech. Wake up dude. The ship is sinking, get off while you can.If I was most of you, I'd just give up and find me a new team. 5 months of crying like babies is bound to have given you girls a headache.
I got no desire to keep taking sloppy seconds from other teams. Kyle Macy and Derek Anderson are not walking through the door.One of the doe eyed Calipari defense squad members excitedly stated Calipari would “clean up” and reel in 4-5 transfers lol.

You would be incorrect, sir.So you grew up in Kentucky but went to Uga? Is that what I’m picking up on?
He admitted it. He in fact does.So do you pull for Georgia when they play UK in football? If so, that makes you a complete clown.
Yes, sir. Sure did.Did you go to UGA?
I'm still amazed at how fascinated you are about this topic.He admitted it. He in fact does.

If you went there I’ll cut you some slack. I’ve seen UK play in Athens 6 times. Always a fun trip.Yes, sir. Sure did.
Planning to enroll in UK's grad school for a work related certification.
Nothing like Athens on a late September or early October game day.
I got to go to Rupp in 97. Saw them demolish Florida. What a game.If you went there I’ll cut you some slack. I’ve seen UK play in Athens 6 times. Always a fun trip.
My ex-FIL was from Ft Payne, AL. Huge Bama football fan/booster....but was a huge UK b'ball fan. Listened to Cawood on the radio in the 50s and was hooked.You would be incorrect, sir.

UGA has really improved Stegman since I was there.If you went there I’ll cut you some slack. I’ve seen UK play in Athens 6 times. Always a fun trip.
