We are THE program right now.I’ll never knock us for trying, but this feels like a kid with Duke/Kentucky written all over him.
No, we aren’t.We are THE program right now.
Excuse me???????The 6-foot-8 small forward averaged 27.4 points on 64.1 percent shooting from the field.
Going to Prolific Prep. Not that he'll play in college regardless, but probably doesn't help our case
Sez youNo, we aren’t.
Kentucky’s arrow is pointing down and Calislimy is far along on the back 9 on his coaching career. It’s fair for recruits to wonder how long he will continue doing it. We have an energetic and far younger coach that just signed a long, lucrative extension. Calislimy was Calhoun’s rival back as far as the ‘80s that’s how long he’s been doing it.Sez you

Just look at all of the departures in the portal, bringing in a 3 (3?!) star recruit to fill their roster out. All for another first weekend exit? Sad! You nailed it lolYeah you nailed it. Kentucky’s recruiting has completely fallen off. Just look at the terrible class they have coming in this year.
They literally have the #1 recruiting class in the entire country. Yes they brought in some 3 star recruits, but it's the 6th and 7th recruits in their class. They have 4 5* recruits coming in and another top 50 recruit in addition to themJust look at all of the departures in the portal, bringing in a 3 (3?!) star recruit to fill their roster out.

Sure they do. But is their program as strong as it was even 3-5 years ago? They literally have an open scholarship slot right now. Cal is 64 years old. Is it fair for 2026 recruits to wonder if he will still be there in 2026 or 2027? I think so. Is their fan base united behind him and all thrilled? Absolutely not. My comment was for the folks who would prefer to waive the white flag on a recruit anytime Dook or Kentucky gets involved. We have a top 3-5 class coming in too don’t forget.They literally have the #1 recruiting class in the entire country.

And none of that is at all relevant to the discussion. You pushed back on the idea that Kentucky is still recruiting well and looked dumb. Don't try and move the goalposts now and throw out all this irrelevant stuff.Sure they do. But is their program as strong as it was even 3-5 years ago?

If he’s not there in a year how can they be in a good place as a program? What looks dumb is not admitting that there are tons of articles and discussions in the national media and Kentucky fan base that he’s on the hot seat. That is extremely relevant sorry. Agree to disagree with you on that. Again is their program in a better or worse place than it was even 3-5 years ago? Is our recruiting for the coming class roughly on par with their’s? Would that qualify as a needle down compared to where the two programs stood in 2016 or 2018 or 2019? Answer that question.And none of that is at all relevant to the discussion.

We all know Calipari never wins in March and fans want him fired, but recruits don't care about that. He's putting a few guys into the NBA every year, and that's all recruits care about. Until that stops they're going to be a factor for every top recruit
Honestly, no. Our recruiting is not even close to theirs. And their recruiting hasn't even taken a step back from any of those years mentioned. This year Kentucky has the #3, 4, 6, 16, 42, 174, 197 recruits. UConn has the # 10, 46, 67, 81, 139 recruits. It's not close and if you take off your blue tinted glasses you'll see it.If he’s not there in a year how can they be in a good place as a program?

They're continuing to get top recruits every single year, and they're continuing to send multiple guys to the NBA every year. The only difference with the portal era is when a top recruit fails they don't stay on the bench for 4 years at Kentucky, they transfer down a level and play
And it doesn't matter because we have Dan Hurley who's a much better coach, so we don't need a class full of top 10 recruits to make the NCAA tournament. But to say the classes are equal is just insane, even with our great class this year. It's a dumb argument and you're living in a fantasy world
