It's being said the deal is done
- Thread starter davekersey
- Start date
He proved he could shoot in stretches ( like 8 games stretch where he hit 38% from 3 in SEC play ) he just has to prove he can do it for season . All he needs to do is shoot 30-34 % which is what I suspect he will do as we have tons of other guys who be in the 35-42% range like Maxey , Juzang , Quick , Sestina ( who IMO will lead the team at around 42%) , Brooks and if he plays Allen.
Cal was leaving regardless. It's not just about the draft tomorrow night, there are a ton of festivities today, tonight and tomorrow that he's always a part of.
Plus, Cal was fine with the roster he already had. He said as much.
Lastly, a kid telling Cal he's going to pass on his offer is not going to effect Cal one bit. It's not like he's going to sit in a corner and sob. If KB told him "no", Cal would just shake his hand and wish him well, then go back to whatever he was doing.
Hagans being an excellent FT shooter deserves a little more credit and it’s also why I expect him to improve from deep. Not saying he’s going to be anything special from outside, but a near 80% FT shooter with solid form is only going to improve as he gets more reps over time.
“He may visit A&M” is nothing to freak out about. (Not saying you freaked out)
Out of all the schools I’ve heard that are involved, A&M scares me the least.
That report is 100% based on Blackshear’s mindset coming into the UK visit. Nobody has a clue how the actual visit has gone which will likely dictate everything.
Talked to my buddy. He has told me repeatedly that KB to UK is something that some on staff have felt really good about. He told me this evening that they feel really really really good.
I agree. I think if, and that’s a big if in my mind, he visits A&M IS strictly as a courtesy to his former coach. Ain’t no way you are gonna choose them over us. Not a chance. If there is no announcement tonight we expecting tomorrow or mondayish?
Why would he go back to a coach who had 4 years to get him ready for the NBA... and didn't?
Cal walking into college basketball next season like
That’s just walking. Not sure what you’re identifying as evidence of “swag.”
Didn’t you see the way he was swinging that left arm? I bet if we saw from the front his balls were doing the same.
Or maybe he’s a just excited to see 3 of his players get drafted?
My bet is that he is prairie doggin' and doing his damndest to hold that juicy turd in.
You're obviously too young to have known about Billy Joe -- a running back who started his pro career as the AFL Rookie of the Year in 1963 with the Denver Broncos, and then started for the Buffalo Bills when they won the AFL Championship in 1965.
I mean, Vince Marrow did fire up the Yahtzee Dice at 6:30 PM tonight.
Could it be for a basketball recruit??

I simply feel like, looking at it from KB's point of view, coming to UK provides the maximum level of support for him to get to the next level, as well as up his exposure in a way that no other university can provide. It's really simple, in my opinion. For so many additional reasons, too. BBN is hyped to have him come aboard, without a doubt. C'mon down Mr. Blackshear, let's keep this party rolling along!
Go Big Blue!
Go Big Blue!
Hell no with that 40-0 nonsense . Ain't no way no how so do not put in that camp. Now 37-3, 36-4 is very possible . SEC is way too tough to go 40-0 . We went undefeated in the SEC in 2015 because the conference was a joke . Also going 40-0 isn't a goal anyway . What makes teams the best is learning from a few losses. 1996 and 2012 don't happen without Miss St and Vandy SECT losses. You need a little strife to hone the sword .
I still want 40-0. I’m not unrealistic with it, but Cal wants it and so do I. We’ve had two teams capable of it, and I’d expect one or two more before he leaves that are as well. Not ruling it out just yet.
Count me out . But IMO it don't matter as it will never happen in a major conference . Now Gonzaga might do it one of these days especially with their increased recruiting efforts. Now every class has at least 2 NBA first rounders for them lately . But it won't happen with a team playing in the big leagues . I think UK in 2015 is the closest that any team will get for a long time .
SEC really isn't as tough as people make it out to be next year. Florida/LSU should have a talented starting 5, outside of them maybe Georgia/Auburn scrap together a 'okay' team. Louisville/Michigan State will obviously be the fun ones to watch. Can't sleep on Ohio State. With KB, this team is special
I don't quite understand the UofL hype. Seems misguided to me...
