What A Shame ...

That we cannot retrieve Deplion's great magnum opus from when Cal was hired. He prophetically stated that the days of bad recruiting were over. He said it better. He was a true prophet. Calipari has turned UK into a recruiting juggernaut at the expense of Duke and UNC and I love it.
If we get Manute's kid for next year, I can only imagine how Ralph Hacker would have butchered his name.

Is deplion ok? Why cant he retrive it?

I don't know, Duke and UNC seem to be doing pretty well when it counts. That may be changing here in the next year or so.

Aww. Thanks.

I think I still have the article saved where Dana O'Neal quoted some of it in her ESPN column. She named it "Ode to an Italian Coach". lol

Will have to look for it.

is there a way to find old posts from 10 or so years ago? i'd love to find my Cal posts first from 2007 when 90% of people were like we'd never hire that scum bag and then from 2009 when i said ready to hire the nick saban of college basketball yet and 50-60% were still like no we're good. I would love to see who said they never said what they actually did.

Hadn't read it in quite a while. That was fun.

Somehow, I missed this "back in the day" but great composition Deplion! You accurately captured the core reaction and prognosticated the future.

I remember those days when we were just happy to get the three star kids.

The irony is that you are still here, sir, and DO didn't survive the Purge at the Mother ship.
