Keyonte George
- Thread starter westerncat
- Start date
When the visit didn't happen, you had to know it was over for us.
Hopefully UK can get a commitment soon. Like for Shaedon Sharpe to say he will be at UK.
We haven’t eaten first for quite some time. I’m hungry.
True. but sharpe is better than George. and he’s all UK.
Yeah, I think Sharpe has overtaken George. After Duren & Bates reclass, I think Sharpe will be firmly top 5 if not 3. And yeah, unless hell freezes over, he’ll be at UK.
How many final fours does cal have since 2016? How many does Beard?
You'd make a hell of a Louisville fan with your cherry picked time frames.
You know why I chose 2016? Because that’s when Beard arrived at a power 5 conference team.
Put it up against Cal's first five years at a power 5 conference program then.
We can go both ways on this. Cals dropped off since 2015. 0 final fours, Beard has one and a title game. As of right now, Beard is the better coach. That could change this year though.
Then as of right now Scott Drew is the best coach in America. Print up the newsletters for the fan club.
Rupp Rafters never disappoints me when it comes to stupidity.
This comment sits on top of the mountain of stupidity! Lol
Since when do you celebrate recruiting banners?
Since everyone on this board became obsessed with Beard like they were with Billy D years ago. At least Billy D had championships on his resume, Beard has an elite 8 and a choke in the title game. Also, double digit losses in 4 of the last 5 years. But hey, if RR says Beard is the greatest, then he is.
The claim is we have the most passionate fans, not smartest, right?
really? you are going to go with that argument,george mason and vcu got to a final four lets see how he fares at a bigger school.
We do here. We do it in every thread on every potential top prospect.
We even have banners for players in the league. No longer does this board recognize success in wins and losses but instead landing the top talent and how high they are picked in the draft
I was asking one specific who person I know to NOT be among those who do.
Do you celebrate recruiting banners? If not, do you think it's premature to anoint Beard based on recruiting?
I think Chris Beard is a damn good coach. Think he's going to have a chance to do great things at Texas seeing who he's hired as his staff and the players he's recruiting--sign me up for an Arterio Morris & Keyonte George vs Cason Wallace/Shaedon Sharpe (hopefully Nick Smith too) game with Texas and UK next year.
Cats made a push for George but think they preferred Sharpe (personally I can't fault them for that) and that doesn't mean George isn't a great player.
This class is stacked. I've repeatedly mentioned that several teams are going to have what could be seen as the best recruiting class they've ever had and won't crack Top 10 in Team Rankings. Alabama could have Jaden Bradley and Jarace Walker and not even be top 4 in the SEC.

Retarded comment, where have I been sucking texas? All I said is Beard is a good coach who’s about to win big at texas. A lot of guys on this board take everything as a shot toward their crush, Cal. I suspect a lot of these guys will stop coming around when Cal leaves. All I heard on here was Beard sucks and is a Billy G clone.
Cal and Beard since 2016

That video of him vs Dior Johnson was intense . Looked like a pretty good matchup .
He’s a combo guard right ?

It's just odd you come here to make points about Beard and joke about him "sucking" when this is a Keyonte George thread, who by the way has 3 crystal ball picks in today all for Baylor and all with high confidence levels (7, 8, 8). I guess we will wait and see on Aug. 8.
Chris Beard since joining a power 5 program:
112-55 record. 9 NCAA tournament wins
1 title game appearance
2 elite 8s
2 second round losses.
1 conference title
2x conference COY
1x national COY
John Calipari at a power 5 program:
339-93 record. 31-7 NCAA tournament record
1 national title
2 title game appearances
4 Final Fours
7 Elite 8s
8 Sweet 16s
2 NITs
6 time conference winner.
4x conference COY
3x national COY
That's 11 years to 5. Even if Beard had continued his pace and you double his numbers, he doesn't match Cal.
And before you say Cal was at Kentucky, remember what Kentucky looked like when he was hired.

Hmm that sounds familiar. Wasn’t that Cal’s resume from Memphis when we hired him as well?
Cal’s had a great career, especially at Kentucky. Beard is also a great coach and looks to have several great years ahead. How about we all just agree on that and be happy, eh?
Why did you stop at 2016? No arguing, just wondering? Is that the year Beard started Coaching?
