Is this the worst UK recruiting class in UK history?

Name one, and use the players rankings to back it up.
This is the worrst recruiting class in UK history, bar none. Willaims wasn't even actually offered a scholarship he and his dad just interpreted that it was offered, accepted it, and Tubby was too embarassed to say no.
I've tried to leave you be but if you keep up the trolling. I can go back to calling out your BS at every turn if that is what you are looking for.

Ohh please do you are a pope pumper I wanted him to THRIVE he just isn’t it but it’s ok we will get the one
Yep while Hunter was breakin' ankles.
Once again some of you must be really young. There have been worse. Also IT ISNT EVEN FINISHED YET! Tubby didn't recruit a point guard for 2 years so his son could start.
The hats about the level of team I expect to have except Pope can’t coach near as well as the Tubster.
Pretty equivalent to this high school class.
That’s the thing. Hell Tubby would have recruited ok had he been able to pay players for sure.
The next class with Euton, Furgeson, etc.. that class was terrible especially since Furgeson peaked in 9th grade.
Someone tell me the answer to this level of incompetency. How is it? We had Tubby Smith who couldn’t recruit Pitino came back to college and we didn’t hire him to come back????? it wasn’t just that one time it was other times friggin Pitino has more happening in Kentucky than he does in New York even currently. I’m not opposed to bringing them back for a final stretch run give us time have this guy on the interview committee or bringing in the coach and waiting. It’s just mind-boggling. I mean Kentucky fans were conditioned to hate Pitino because he was at Louisville. He wanted to be UK the whole time. One of the greatest coaches of all time was a massive blender. Buyer athletic Director I mean, athletic directors that blender. I don’t know what your pitino came back but without a doubt, tubby should step aside that should’ve even been part of the contract with them, if pitino were to return
classes aren't the same thing. there is tons of team that didn't have a single top 100 freshmen michigan, and florida included. teams do things through the portal. Zoom was a mcdonalds all american and averaged pretty good numbers. Wilkins bigger teams like Alabama wanted him. Moreno wasn't he a mcdonalds all american and will hopefully improve next year. Mcbride probably a liability on defense but offensively has played for bigger teams and can shoot the 3. NDiaye is athletic and can shoot 3 and is mobile and played pro basketball. Hawthorne was red shirted last year and year before was a top 40 player can shoot the 3 and is 6'9.
Are you going to cry some more? Is this the equivalent of trying to get your big brother to take up for you?
Your were being a pompous troll shutting down anyone who dared mention Blackwell with your Nostradamus act declaring Illinois and Michigan as the only possible landing spots. Have you got that crappy crystal back from the repair shop yet? Three consecutive posts you followed up proclaiming this. Then when you got called out you lied and tried to claim they DM'd you asking for your opinion. Don't blame me for high jacking when you are the one doing the baiting by calling me out in unrelated threads I had not even posted in.

2005 Rekalin Sims, Adam Williams, and Jared Carter.
That much is obvious and did not require further input. What you never admitted you were wrong about was crapping on other people's posts (3 consecutively) the way you did in the first place.

I had chosen to let it slide until you pulled further shenanigan's so I chose to revisit this one.
You are obviously clueless and deranged did you just awaken from your coffin
You are in the wrong and can't handle being held accountable so you resort to insults with no relation to anything that is being discussed. I'm not little and I'm not the one with the emotional issues. I am perfectly calm.

Tubby often scrambled after most teams had their rosters set because he couldn't get a PF or to fill the roster. As I recall, Ramon Harris was brought in mid-year after another Tubby scramble.
I bashed Tubby's recruiting among other things; his work ethic and his belief that he could take any player and turn them into a college contributer played into his sub par recruiting, but he did say something once that few people really locked into and didn't put much weight into it.
He said, in regards to recruiting, that he wasn't going to be the guy that gets Kentucky put on probation again. You can read whatever you want into that, but also remember when someone said UK paid Anthony Davis $200K to come to Kentucky and UK fans thought that number was so high it was absurd and not even within the realm of possibility?
How does $200K look for Anthony Davis now?

McClintock was not a commit. I believe KC Ross-Miller and GJ Vilarino were though.
1) Troy McKinley and Mike Ballenger
2) Sims, Carter, Williams
This one is bad but not near as bad as those. I will say those both had a bunch of returning players so the effect was felt less. We have two players back that should see the floor, much more was needed from this class.

Hunter McClintock. Putting dudes on skates. I remember watching some grainy 480p vids on him.
Yep. Nailed it. Remember 8th grade sensation Michael Avery. Gillespie offered him in Jr. High.
I'm not sure how you say transfers should be considered and then throw '24-'25 in there. Cal stole our HS class and almost every HS player was committed by the point Pope was hired that year.
lol that should tell u something, they heard popes pitch and dipped
With the portal now, recruiting classes aren’t nearly important as they use to be. Now before all the trolls go crazy. Yes you still want good freshman but now there is 50% chance that they’re leaving after 1 year. Outside of the top 5-10, IMO you’re better off with jr and sr portal players
yeah but if u arent getting the best hs or portal guys does it matter
we get the best of the rest
