1. Davis, MKG, Wiltjer, Teague

National Title. Greatest Wildcat of all-time. MKG was 2nd Team AA and one of the best energy/D guys of all-time. Teague starting PG on a champion. Wiltjer eventually became an All-American.

2. Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe, Orton

Most star power, but unbalanced because of how hastily Cal had to put it together.

3. KAT, Ulis, Booker, Lyles

Given bigger roles, arguably #1.

4. Knight, Lamb, Jones,

Underrated. First F4 in 13 years. Knight and Lamb both turned out to be among the most clutch Wildcats ever. Jones was a huge cog on two terrific teams.

5. Harrisons, Randle, Young, Lee, Willis

Most amazing tournament run of my life followed by the most amazing season of my life.

6. Poythress, Noel, Goodwin, WCS

A bust, an injury, a hardly-knew-ya and WCS who became an AA and redeemed the class somewhat

7. Murray, Briscoe, Skal, Matthews

Basically just Murray but Briscoe and Matthews have a chance at redemption

This is the correct and, frankly, only acceptable answer.

I'm convinced that they are substituting MLS pricing from Gary, Indiana for those Waco houses.

Chip: "Guys, I know it looks rough now but it is a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath on 5 acres near downtown with great bones in the best school district in the city. I think we can negotiate them down to $15,000. That leaves us with $125k in your budget to shiplap the living eff out of this thing. Joanna will do it at 3 am, because, I mean she's Asian or whatever and will do that sort of thing. If you leave your sewing out, she will probably do that too. No promises, but a dim sum gratuity goes a long way, if you know what I am saying."

*** Chip puts on a conquistador helmet and spills fake dubloons all over the yard ***

Chip: "It's like free money you guys!"

Joanna: "Chip! You're so crazy! Suck in your gut, you sexy Spanish conqueror!"

Couple: "WE LOVE IT! SHIPLAP IT UNTIL ALL WE SEE IS HORIZONTAL LINES AND OLD FAKE BOOKS AND THERE IS NOWHERE TO ACTUALLY SET ANYTHING DOWN OR WATCH TELEVISION!

"IF YOU COULD INEXPLICABLY PUT HUGE LETTERS THAT FORM OUR INITIALS ON EVERY SURFACE THAT MIGHT BE USABLE FOR ANYTHING, THAT WOULD BE GRAND!"

I can't wait to hear Ryan Lemond's take on Cal's class rankings tomorrow after Matt scrapes GYERO for content ideas this afternoon. A "double dip" with Tyler Thompson snagging it beforehand would be pretty cool as well.

*Matt gives his class rankings*

"What do you think Ryan?"

Ryan: "I agree with everything you just said. Butts, poopy, farts"

-Only thing I don't like is the commercial break before the reveal. Great background TV though. The Flip or Flop girl is the hottest House Flipping bitty yet. SMOKESHOW.

-That's what I don't get about cord cutting. I can manage games, movies, shows but honestly 95% of time is channel surfing or simultaneously watching 2-3 shows at the same time. Last night I watched 'Parks n Rec' and 'The Great Human Race' without missing any time. Phenomenal.

-Are we going to address @Beavis606 just vanishing from GYERO without a trace? I miss that old curmudgeon. I harass him on twitter. Is there a story behind his disappearance?

-10 day looks WAF for the Spring honks. 8 of 10 days in the 60's and sunny only 2 with rain.

The wife has a cousin who works at a resort in Tahoe. Those people came in a few months back and apparently that chick is a complete c--t. I know it's shocking that a hot, rich, quasi-celebrity is a piece of ****. Hope everyone is able to adequately process this revelation.

I can absolutely see that. When she speaks it annoys me as well. However, she is really hot.

I'm assuming this shiplap **** was used more in the south? I've flipped dozens of houses, have 13 currently going, and I've never seen the ****.
My Mexicans demo guys did find a large sum of money in one of the walls, turns out it was chezoslavackian, and after they googled it, was totally worthless. If it hadn't been worthless, I would have never heard about it. My favorite find, a legit 12 inch black *****.

So the CBI final, as mentioned, is a best of 3.

Last night in Morehead...then they travel to Nevada for Game 2....then, if needed, likely back to Morehead for game 3 (which is based on who had the better attendance for their home game)? LOL, that's pretty ridiculous tbh. Probably fun for the kids though, I guess.

If Sean Woods has a couple more 'good' seasons, wouldn't surprise me at all to see him get bumped up another level job-wise.

-People been sleeping on SKJ for awhile...like he didn't even exist in this class until the McDAA game. We've had quite a few of those types in our LOADED classes. WCS, Booker, and to a less extent, Young.

People get so excited about the 1 major star or two. Hell, I even remember Chad & I laughing about how little excitement/talk there was for Cousins simply b/c Wall dominated every preseason conversation.

So just for future reference, if an idea comes from this thread (which some do since you guys are the best chat board in UK land), do I give you credit or no? Because in the past some have gotten mad when I do because it brings the "unwanteds" here...I am good either way, just let me know. The days of me feeling the need to fill my ego by suggesting I come up with every good idea ever have ended for me. I fill it now with much more petty things.

I feel Briscoe is likely to return now...doing the Draft thing but letting everyone know he is cool to return if he isn't a first rounder...and he won't be. Lee wants an excuse to go, but not sure he will find one.

Continue to hear not so good things on Wynyard in terms of talent...as I said on radio today, have been told by multiple people he is FARRRRRR below Humphries. The fans' obsession with him as some kind of prized stud they aren't seeing is kind of comical.

Bolden vibes aren't great but I do think the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction. My negativity only stems from the fact that generally speaking if the Lexington folks they are going to get someone, they know it. I can only think of one case ever (Wiltjer) where folks in Lex didnt feel great about it and still go the kid. Bottom line, when they get them, they usually know its happening. I don't get the sense that is the case now. Lot of worry that the mom really wants Duke...hoping that the push from the players this week makes a difference. The Drew news from yesterday is also negative, but not new....goes back a couple of months.

With that said however, it isn't like he has told anyone he is going to Duke. People get to all or nothing in these things. I still would bet Duke, but at the same time I do think it is slightly up in the air. We shall see. Wiggins picked Kansas about a week before his announcement after wavering for months...so we should see how it plays out.

Hearing there are two studs in the 2017 class that UK feels they will get quickly. Don't know names and haven't really followed the class yet, but that feels like good news.

People bummed about the loss but not devastated like last year....the issue was always UNC and thus seeing them the next round tempers the frustration a bit. The one that got away was last year.

Starting to think that unless a mystery job opens up, Kenny Payne will be here another year...thats good. I think Barbee would take almost any job that he has a chance for...not sure if one will come open though. We shall see.

With that, adios. Going to football practice this week for the first time. Hope its not depressing

It's good to recruit a large number of really good players.

I just want you to know that we know you know we know.

Don't bring the untouchables here, please.

I am not a great basketball mind and you will never borrow an argument of mine, so I'm not really an authority on this - just razzin'.

Or reference a home office, a la Lettermen. It would be interesting to hear that stack up - but only for us.

I think that's good news for a couple reason. First, I think he's a guy who can really improve over the summer. I think he's a worker and will dedicate himself to improving his J. Secondly, it never hurts to have more leadership and intangibles. Briscoe has that in spades. Third, we need another perimeter player and Briscoe can help us a lot on defense, penetration and passing.

I would think the two would be out of this quartet- Vanderbilt, Richards, Petty and Young.

it's gonna take a great team to win the title next year... not a "really" good one. Next year is gonna be stacked. Next year is gonna be more like 2015 in terms of loaded teams.

UK needs a low post, back to the basket scorer that can carve some space, protect the rim, and grab boards. UK needs Bolden to be great unless Humphries completely morphs into a shot blocker before the fall.
Spears, well said[thumb2]

-I feel that way with Gabriel as well. I honestly forgot he was even in the class, just this morning. That's why I typed out the classes rather than list years. #spoiled.

-We don't need credit on air or blog. We have enough goons on ignore as it is. We'll just continue to antagonize you by insinuating(correctly I might add) that we are the real creativity behind the success.

-Figured the 13 class would get pushed down. I can understand that. I just loved that run.

Is spelling Wynyard's name incorrectly a running joke that's just completely gone over my head or is everyone doing it unintentionally today? TIA
