You're not wrong, but between the guy sounding off on Rupp, leading the charge to kneel for no reason, and making it known how unhappy he was at UK, it's not exactly heartbreaking to see the guy go.

Yep. Exactly. I wish no harm or ill will but he’s a whiney, hypocritical and ignorant clown.

Also that one kid that got drafted by Miami was a freshmen. Winslow maybe? Something like that? He played small ball 4 for them.

edit: 3 freshmen starters, I would consider a 1&D team.
They don't win the title without their upperclassmen. Quinn Cook was huge for them in their tournament run.

An old bag chick. I guess that was for the best. Barely moved when she flopped it over. It didn't help I had my pants around my ankles (Would have thought I would have worn a robe) I am straight whinny pooing it than cold gel all over my nuts and she has Christian rock playing in the background while she talks to me about the weather and covid while pressing my balls into my leg as hard as she could.
I'd gladly trade you. I got probed a couple months ago. Yup, camera on a stick right through the pee hole and into the bladder.

Felt like I pissed fire for a month.

Wow.

No one has ever mentioned that player retention is a problem.
someone get ahold of the commissioner
Okay cool, you get it, the person I was having the conversation with, doesn't.

Uh, Grayson Allen (who went off in the title game) and Justice Winslow were really good freshmen on that title team in 2015, as well.
A perfect example is there 2019 team, tgat was a true 1 and done team and it had 2 generational players on it, but no key upperclassmen, they got lucky to win every game in the NCAAT before finally losing.

You can't win without upperclassmen. Just ask the Fab 5.

I mean you aren’t saying anything bro you’re spewing ********. Genuinely like you move the needle to fit what you need. I don’t give a damn if 96 year old Michael Jordan from the future was on that Kentucky team in 2012 providing a veteran presence. The 2 main core guys were MKG and AD. I don’t need your excuses. What happened happened.
Your idea of a one-and-done team is different than mine. A couple of transcendent freshman doesn’t constitute a 1 and done team.

Here, maybe you'll understand this:

What's more likely to happen?

1) you get an Anthony Davis an MKG AND and NBA lockout that gets otherwise 1st round draft picks to return

Or

2) A junior and senior led team. AKA, Louisville 2013, UConn 2014, Villanova 2016, Villanova 2018, uNC 2017, UVA 2019 or Baylor and Gonzaga 2021?

Any of those teams happen to do anything special?

Do you think another Anthony Davis is going to come walking through the door? Nope, but we got plenty of EJ Montgomery's.

Think about it.

It’s just constant excuses and moving the needle with these dudes. We are getting laughed at by the media and by other fans. There’s an entire thread on Reddit CBB talking about how ridiculous our fans are being yet these dudes only live in their own little world. Respect for them for staying consistent but consistency doesn’t equal fact.
Nobody is moving the needle, you're just not understanding what’s being said.

Also, UK just had a 9-16 season, so yeah a large portion of the fans ON TWITTER are going nuts, but we are still far from the worst. Ohio State had a great season, got a 2 seed in the tournament and they don't even care about basketball, yet their fans threatened to kill one of their players. Yeah, the BBN is sooo awful.

Considering we’ve been as close as you can be 3-4 times I’d say we are fine.

no one else gets that level of consistency

That's it? Or is more supposed to becoming? I mean it's almost 730pm, but they did say news dump. I figured it was Brooks to IU, Mintz overseas, Baldwin picking Dook, Carr staying in the draft, and Brandin from WIS going elsewhere.

If that is it then not much of a dump.
Evidently click bait that worked.

Dechambeau did drop about 15 lbs from that initial 35-40 lb weight gain

it was peculiar though, he was a pretty young and thin guy. It’s not that easy to pack on that kind of weight that fast at his age

Yeah, just like the 2019 Duke team, we choke when the stakes are at their highest. That’s what young guys do.

Did you see anything close to a choke job by Baylor? No, they were very sound in every aspect of the game.

Take a look at the UK teams under Cal that reached the final four, they all had supremely talented players and the freshmen were legit first rounders or lottery picks, Cal isn't getting that anymore, the ship has sailed, all we are now is a halfway house for dudes that have potential.

Must be juicing and overeating. His cranium has gotten noticeably larger, just like Barry Bonds.
Weightlifting alone can make a persons head look completely different. Especially if they are already a full grown man and have never lifted before. Not sure why but it can.

Can’t get behind this one. 40 year old man here, lifted weights consistently for 20 years. Head hasn’t changed a bit

It's the truth.
Neck gets wider . I lift 4/5 days a week. Hard weightlifting ages you and it's from facial appearance

It's not impossible for 35 lbs to be added and look the way he does in 6/7 months. 5k cal a day of good clean food and lift your nuts off

It is possible but I don’t think everything Bryson was eating was clean. Dude grew quite a spare tire as well. He looks a lot better after dropping 10-15 lbs of that weight

Agree. I believe he did it by eating and lifting . No juice

Good for Baylor for running the slate in a COVID season and striking gold with 2-3 transfers. It won’t happen again. If all you need is one championships and you’ll excuse a bunch of ****** seasons then I’m sure Baylor tickled your fancy. I like how we overreact as if Baylor is some mega power coached by the second coming of Red Auerbach.

Considering the snake oil salesman coach of ours pompously proclaimed “WE ARE THE NEEDLE “ , how could it possibly be moved?

Also , as a longtime golfer I can tell you , you don’t gain 30 to 40 yds of distance just by gaining weight. I’ve seen this show before and his name was Barry Bonds .

I’ve lifted a lot of weights in my younger days and been around lots of other people that do . In my experience when a person gains 30 to 40 lbs. their head looks smaller in comparison to their body.

Def not juicing
Mfer is bout 20% body fat
Juicing muscle is lean and ripped

To gain that much weight in that time even if its not fully ripped weight gain I would say he had to be taken some enhancers. His trainer denying it like that is a good sign he knows something.

There's so many sarms and products over the counter these days that will do the exact same thing. He may have been taking something like that
