Kentucky really sucks

[Kitaman]

Its a monster he's created. Every recruit is expected to play in the NBA. The problem he has is that each kid is out to prove that they are NBA ready. You need the ball to do that and one ball among 7 kids is not enough.

I don't see a solution because its hard for those kids to think team ball when they are planning to be there for one year. This is when you need the Taliek Browns, Neils Giffey, Kevin Freemens, etc.. blended in. Without team and role players its disastrous. He did it last year but there were upperclassmen on that team, which brings up another point without veterans on any team there is potential for mayhem. The Squid may be putting fannies in the seats and appeasing the rabid fan base but I don't see another trophy for years.

Lastly these kids don't know how to lose, or specifically lose a lot. Heads will drop, body language gets poor and disappointed faces makes a tense locker room.

It sounded nice, fancy and thrilling in the beginning but the reality is it doesn't work. In college you only need two maybe three stars to go the distance. But the supporting cast makes the team really successful. This is the UConn recipe for success.

From a friend who is a huge UK fan:

Two are leaving--Julius Mays who was a one year transfer from Wright State and a walk on who never played.

Nerlens will probably go Pro since he is picked to go in the top 5----If he drops below 10 he will come back. Time will tell.

All the other three Freshman will return guaranteed. Ryan Harrow our point guard will sit down with John and I am sure Cal will tell him if he wants to play it would be in his best interest to transfer, but Calipari will keep him if he decides to stay. There will be enough scholarships to cover incoming class. 2 other players on this years team who held scholarships, held Academic Scholarships prior till this year and can go back to that status if athletic scholarship are needed.

Matt Dougherty of ESPN just stated the loss of Noel was critical. and if he had been playing they would have been at Sweet 16 or better..

Bad news --Julius Randle Top Power Forward just announced on ESPN he is going
to Kentucky

So far The squid has recruited

The Harrison Twins both 6'5 Guards, one a point Guard and the other a shooting
Guard-- both ranked number one at there position. Considering all player ratings
they are #3 and #5

Julius Randle 6'9 Power Forward #1 at his position and 6th overall

James Young 6'7 small forward #1 at his position and 7th overall

Marcus Lee 6'10 Center #2 at his position 11th overall

Derek Willis 6'9 small forward Mr. KY Basketball 28th overall

Still waiting on Andrew Wiggins # 1 overall

The Squid will prove you wrong

Isn't this what you'd call "one of those good problems"?

I could win with that team.......and I could also pi** off some kids too who expect to play a lot......there has to be some pretty good cash to get kids to see past this BS and share time......
