Jai Lucas to Duke

[GuyFromKY]

I hate to say this but Duke is now as UK was in 2009. The premier destination for top players. And it sucks.

Embarassing

 

[JimboBBN]

Nothing to see here, guys. I'm sure Cal has it under control and everything is going to plan.

Psh.. if people can't see we have a problem at this point, I'm not sure how they dress themselves in the morning.

 

[johndeerefan]

Please Duke, hire Cal as an assistant too!

 

[TFCat11]

Something is going down. First Brad, now Jai. Who’s next, Chin or Coach O?

Isn’t the portal open until Sunday night? Yikes!

[MWes11]

Gotta wonder who Cal will target. Bet ur *** it will be a splash hire and big name.

 

[HagginHall1999]

This is really bad. It isn't a chicken little thing either.

We recruit head to head with Duke.

Lucas can walk in and say "Hey, let me tell you why you should come to Duke instead of Kentucky"...and they'll listen because he left UK for Duke.

Cal has got a whole mess on his hands right now. He may just quit....kidding...kind of. But this is a mess.

 

[MWes11]

Well, that is incredible and great news.

Don’t know, but he sure lost one of the best young recruiters out there today.

Nah, it’ll be one of Cal’s old buddies

 

[1STSergeant]

Bye

 

[CatEye2010]

Smells like Nike/P. Knight all over this.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

No, we just aren't blind and oblivious like you.

Whatever. Shy Guy has zero coaching experience…none. Lucas is a Gator anyway and coached at UK for 1 Fin year and got 2 or 3 low tier 5 stars to come to Ky. Sheyer got the top 3 to come to Duke not Lucas.
We can and will do better.
If he wants to bolt to Durham with an unproven coach that is replacing a legend then so be it.
Stop crying.

 

[Catfan2226]

Embarassing

It's been one embarrassment after the other..
ST Peter's loss
Sharpe fiasco
2 transfer out
Lucas leaves for Duke
What else will happen...who the hell knows what's going on anymore with the program.
Shaking my head...damn all this crap gonna give me hemmorhoids

 

[HagginHall1999]

Need to hire Rondo or an ex player who is young out of the game and has head on straight.

 

[MWes11]

I hear Will Wade's schedule is pretty wide open.

 

[Shaudylo]

Hopefully they keep their word . We know how this is with college basketball .

 

[1STSergeant]

Need to hire Rondo or an ex player who is young out of the game and has head on straight.

Would love to see Rondo as a coach.

 

[TFCat11]

One does not simply recover from losing one of your Ace recruiters to your main recruiting rival!

Cal is probably spinning some Frank Sinatra vinyl right about now…

“And I did it my waaayyyy!”

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Sharpe stays in the draft. Collins and/or Wallace follow Lucas to Duke. We lost DJ to another coach who hasn't coached a single game. And probably miss on the Baylor guy from SDSU.. Calipari can't even get top recruits out of the portal any more. Calipari getting his butt kicked by 2 coaches who've never coached a college game.

We saw and heard about Calipari fighting with the assistants on and off the court this year. We saw him and Chin into it during several games, including St Peters loss. Almost lost Chin, and now Lucas...

No way Collins or Wallace goes to Duke with Roach back and the top 3 recruits in the country and another in the top 20 unless they want to ride pine.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Leaving to work with a coach “that has never coached before”.

This seems to imply that Cal coaches. Him and Scheyer are almost equals there.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Something is going down. First Brad, now Jai. Who’s next, Chin or Coach O?

Isn’t the portal open until Sunday night? Yikes!

1st Brad? Lol you guys are insufferable…

 

[bdroshek]

Lol come on all you Cal nut swingers and spin this one.

 

[Gus Polinski]

UK truly is little brother to Duke!

 

[Mulder14]

Hire Kenny Payne

 

[MWes11]

Name to keep an eye on... Ulric Maligi

[Thunder Mash]

Hire Tyler Ulis, darn it. (I'm partially kidding, lol.)

If Wallace could start for us...he could start for Duke.
Collins is gonna ride pine here.He will get some minutes but he has to take a huge leap from last season to show hes ready at this level

My head hurts and I’m tired

What’s your friend say about this Ralphdalton?

Why is it that Cal defenders are the least witty people on the planet? Jamel, Jamel? What the hell does that even mean?

PS: I couldn’t care less who our assistants are. Don’t think it has ever mattered that much.

 

[ukfan041]

So what’s the next domino? Cal better thank everything for Oscar coming back

 

[Catlogic15]

Guess we'll find out how valuable Antigua really is. I'm thinking he's lost a recruiting step or two.

 

[GuyFromKY]

Need to hire Rondo or an ex player who is young out of the game and has head on straight.

The only option at this point

 

[UKWildcats1987]

It sure looks like it, and unlike UK, they hardly do anything with the talent. One Final four since this shift really started happening. K could not even get Zion to the Final Four.

As others have said, you get the top players you will win games though, but as we know, you have to have experience back around them.

 

[katwest]

Lucas didn’t want to play here and and didn’t want to stay here as a coach. I guess he wanted to be a choirboy.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Hey pumpers what are your excuses this time? I’m calling you out @Ed323232 @BlueArrow87 @kybassfan @kl40504
