Cal responding to being #1 right now bringing back our 8th leading scorer

--I don't have to say anything to TU....does so many things right

--Freshmen doing fine...Isaac surprisingly good

 

[Blueathletics]

--Caller - Fan for over 50 years....you bring in good kids not just talented kids

--Cal - says his wife says last years group was nice kids but this years even better

--If something bad happens here it is blown up to mega negative publicity

--I tell kids you're not gonna be the only guy

--You go against NBA players every day in practice so you don't need to play great competition in games

--This group recruited each other

--Daughter Megan's 26th b-day today...born on Thanksgiving

--T Jones sent tweet about being #1

--Bledsoe and BK having all star seasons

--Texted Demarcus about being #1

--If they know you love them they'll stay connected

--Caller - WHat about rule changes? Cal - not that much of effect....hopes they continue to call fouls

--The best FT shooting teams are going to have best chance to win if they continue to call fouls

 

[Blueathletics]

--Caller: congrats on great recruiting class, love the tempo Cal: We're looking for depth

--Dont have post presence...cant rely on guard play

--If we develop post presence we can be really good

--Karl played 21 minutes a game and is #1 pick

--Karl was trying to shoot 3's when he first got here....was the worst of our big guys last year when he first got here

--We coach every kid like he is a starter

--What I ask them to do is really hard

--There is no easy way...must develop good habits

--Can't be a bully....have to be an elite athlete (Alex)

--Marcus Lee made a choice to be good last game

--Skal has to have his hips lower than the guy he's guarding or he cant defend

--I don't accept mediocrity

 

[Blueathletics]

Caller: Thank you for recruiting upstanding guys

Cal: This thing that Rupp started in the 30's and 40's was destined to last....4 other coaches won National Titles here

--You can recruit the best and brightest at UK thanks to the job Rupp did

--Rupp would play ANYBODY anywhere

--Rupp was winning 90% of his games

--Talking about developing an honors college which is like an honors college within UK....Brandon Knight to come back and attend

--Proud to be coaching at UK....loved the way the program was built

 

[Blueathletics]

--Boston U shoots a ton of 3's, beat Orlando's team...

--Shoots as soon as they cross half-court

--Runs everything to setup a 3

--We need a close game

--Love how we responded in Chi

--We play with poise cuz we have TU!

--Caller: 2010 draft was an important nite...want to thank Cal's wife for being supportive

--She went to a football game with Cal shocking him....driving each other crazy now with no kids around

 

[Blueathletics]

Caller: Again with the character of the kids...Karl Towns signed a bball for him on his birthday and then sold a pair of pink shoes for $30k so he could donate the money to cancer function

--AP took a selfie with the caller's kid

--Joy is not what you take but what you give

--The players know how to give back

--Money is fleeting...its what you do for other people
