Oh yeah, after his whole the fat lady sung post. His replies to that are just as bad as his #wrongonpourpose, that’s what I sent him. Wrong on purpose amirite?
Wilkerson to Indiana
- Thread starter Tampa_cat54
- Start date
Chandler has a really bright future for sure. He’s gonna be really good. I think he will be similar to Richie Saunders when he fully gets the college game.
I sure hope so and I think Chandler will be a big weapon for us as well. Saunders is a really good player . Wish we could of got him here.
I think I said this earlier in the thread, but it’s gone on so long, not sure…but in 23-24, Wilkerson shot .347 from 3…against CUSA competition. Chandler shot the EXACT same…347 from 3…against the best league in the land. So Wilkerson made a big jump this last year to .445…what makes you think Chandler can’t make a big jump also? Plus, do you not agree Chandler is a better defensive player/rebounder/passer? Wilkerson’s stats other than his shooting percentage are very pedestrian.
I didnt really find the remarks to be racist but rather true.
Can’t remember exactly but it was just simple stuff like a black guy with dreads doesn’t want to go to horse races and stuff like that.
Not even sure I just seen a couple things that were posted on here that day. I’m pretty sure they are somewhere in this thread
Yeah, supposedly on Twitter, you know how easy that is to fake but in their profiles and follows they were IU fans.
There weren’t terrible or anything, but I can see why they would be taken that way especially these days.
One of the ones that I remember was that Wilkerson looks and talks and acts like a KY player you can make of that what you will
He doesn’t look like just another Kentucky player. He looks like the man at Indiana.
"Hoosiers basketball – it's a big-time name."
He's having to say it to convince himself.

In retrospect, he seems like a good fella, but it's clear he's a bit mentally stunted.
Translation: "Indiana is not good, no competition, and the money was to much to pass up"
I have a confession to make. A few days before his announcement, one of the ESPNs played the Bobby Knight 30 for 30 about Neil Reed and Knight’s firing.
I won’t bore everybody with the details but my hyper fixation kicked in, and I had like a three day bender of reading through everything I could find about Knight’s entire tenure, on a season by season level. To the point where I developed my own narrative that supplanted my own lived/fan-based experience, particularly for that devastating 88-93 stretch and beyond, which mirrors what we just experienced with Cal from 13-24.
When the Wilkerson news broke, it felt like I had accidentally cosmically shifted some weight, or tapped into some Hegelian notion of the spirit of the time. For that I apologize.

Good, because at UK we want a team that competes for championships, not watch one player shot and dribble the whole game and lose.
I like how Indiana is being talked about like it’s a mid major now. He can go there and get all the touches he wants
Wilkerson, Dickerson from Kansas........bullets dodged.
That dude is afraid of the spotlight. Fear driven decision, which means he really was a bad fit here. He would not have done well at all.
If you don't want to be just another guy, then outwork everyone else and make sure that you aren't.

Feels like he outted himself. That's cool. We don't need guys like Wilkerson or Lewis. No use for me first guys or guys who are scared to compete. Those guys won't win you a championship because a championship isn't their goal.
I always thought to be the man you had to beat the man.
Kids today need everything given to them.

Well he made it a lot easier for us UK fans to confidently say he just wanted to be “the man” and not have to work or share time with others as good or better than he is.
I think it was more about the 3 million dollars Indy gave him.
Yes, I agree. He seems to think "team" is spelled with an "I". He might be a nice guy, but, we don't need someone who thinks like that.
He really thought he was saying something profound, but it came across as weak.
What would you do if you were that "kid" with no allegiance to UK via fandom?
Go to UK who already has 2g 2 deep and wing is 2 deep already . You know straight-up best your getting is 20 min a game . Yes UK has a good team but that conference is Savage. Or IU who i get 30 to 35, top tier conf, good nil Im the man.

This.
These kids all say bull$hit to justify their decisions. The real reason is black and white. Actually, no. It's green. That and they hired his coach/friend/mentor/whatever.
