Why recruit any player that can't dribble, pass, or shoot?

Getting Murray late saved us from having a season worse than this one.
Cal made a major mistake going to a strategy of selling UK as "not for everyone" and offering very few kids and not until very late. He was trying to sell exclusivity and it has backfired 2/3 years.
That's debatable, Kentucky has been getting everybody's best shot for the last 60 years. Tubbys teams were no different. Until the SEC proves it's self in the post season more that doesn't hold up.
No, but they have guys with BASKETBALL skills. UK might as well recruit for track and field.
I know, just saying if possible that is the way I would want to do the roster.
Think you need 2 or 3 of the very best shooters in the class that are consistently good shooters. The others can be guys like Hawkins for instance that would be solid. Able to handle and defend but not be a liability when left open.
I don't like auburn or their gay fans, but Their players are playing with an effort that ours should be playing with. Its sad really.
He did score off penetration and could finish through contact though. He also rebounded outside his area and was arguably the best defender we've had here. He was essentially our version of Dennis Rodman for that team. He didnall the dirty work and was the motor.
I get what you're saying though.
I just want to say that not only would I take Bird over Diallo.
I would take McHale over PJ.
Dennis Johnson over Knox.
Robert Parish over Richards.
Danny Ainge over Shai.
I just think about the best team I ever witnessed would take our Cats. That is me.
I would also take 83 Sixers, 87 Lakers, and 96 Bulls.
Or the 98 Cats.

Would you email Cal and tell him which 10 that would be. Or, maybe you are talking about future recruiting, in which case if he hasn't gotten the message by now, an email won't do any good.
This is college; not reform school. You can't tell a player he's staying. You can discipline and sit, but you can not dictate a players decision. We have no idea what has and hasn't been said. I do a little armchair coaching myself now and then. Your avatar seems at odds with your comments.
You don't have to have all 5 star players to be a good team. Players who are willing to give 100%, 100% of the time are great to start with. Players who have good basics, and are willing to listen to their coach is very important. Coaches who are willing to put a players A$$ on the bench if he isn't doing what you want is very important. Coaches who are willing to change if something isn't working, which the "Dribble Throw It Up," isn't with this bunch. Even Coach Rupp, who hated zone defenses, changed and used a zone defense sometimes in his later years of coaching.
We all know Pearl lied about a barbecue, and a lot of UK fans don't like him, in fact, a lot of UK fans don't like any coach, except the one at UK, but the man can motivate and coach. I look at what players a coach has to work with, and how he does with them, especially if he doesn't have a bunch of 5 stars, to judge if he is a good coach.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
Larry Bird would be on my all time starting five. He did not have a weakness. Shoot, rebound, pass, score, play defense. Win.
As long as Pearl is coach at Auburn they will be in the thick of the race for SEC champs. They are now a real player
Totally agree. The younger players do better when they don't have to be something they're not. The absence of veteran leaders have made things worse by forcing younger players to play outside their skill level.
