I weep for what is going to happen on this forum tomorrow night. Just stay home, stay sober, love your families, and don’t log in.
Exactly. I don’t get the obsession with this high school player. He isn’t some once in a generation talent like Davis. It’s hilarious the hand wringing associated with his announcement. I won’t give it another thought no matter if he chooses UK or not.

I have never understood trying to "read the tea leaves" regarding recruits. If he comes, he comes; if he doesn't, he doesn't. Kentucky basketball was here before Zion, and it will be here after. With that being said, I think he goes to Duke, unfortunately. I won't wish ill will, nor will I root for him. GBB!
Duke already has the #1 and #3 overall players for next year at SF. Zion stated he wants to play the 3 in college. He isn't going to Duke

ESPN games very seldom start on time. Most of our games are 10-15 late on ESPN. They know we start at 8:15 so if we are pushed back just 5-10 minutes it only takes a couple of minutes to make the announcement. It doesn't take 30-45 minutes to commit.

And yet we have 37 threads all clinging to hope and spotlighting garbage sources. We have a 500-post thread because of a blank account troll.

I like this forum, but it is apparent to me that people here are not being realistic, and many posters turn awful when we lose a game we shouldn’t or miss on a top recruit.



Some are clinging , but most realize it probably isn’t happening.

Agreed though, the posters who are just WAITING to press “enter” for their already typed out ***** fest is rather annoying

Yup. Here’s what’s going to happen tomorrow night:

During the halftime show, they’re going to announce that Zion committed to Clemson. And I’m gonna go “Yep, that’s what I thought.” And then I’m going to enjoy the rest of the UK-UF game, and not log in to Rupp Rafters for a week. Because people are miserable.

Ha! I will play Nostradamus if Zion goes somewhere else. Threads:
1. Cal can’t get top recruits anymore.
2. We are screwed next year and won’t go anywhere next March.
3. Since we know UK won’t go anywhere in March next year and we already know they won’t go anywhere this year, changes must be made.
4. I’ve lost interest because I don’t get to know the players since they leave after one year and now I have lost interest because Cal doesn’t get the players who leave after one year. :pimp:

I dunno... I sat and looked at Terrence Jones' hats for what seemed like forever. He picked Washington, and as I was about to turn off the stream someone said he was on the phone with Calipari. Lol. I was GLUED! [laughing] #NoShame

5.) Wiseman will reclassify. UK will be alright. (Even though he has already said he won't.)

If he was coming here, he would not announce during our biggest home game of the conference season.

He's smart and the people around him know. If he wants BBN to watch and be excited, he would not do it during our game.

He's going to Clemson
Don't know if it's Clemson, but I doubt it's UK

We need Barbee and Justus gone......... and replace them with either top notch recruiters or top notch developmental coaches.....

And we need Barnhart to be replaced by a well respected Riley or Issel. or even Pratt........ 15 years of utter disrespect and a national culture that its cool to crap all over UK because Barnhart has no friends around the nation and his best job to counter it is writing a letter of disappointment to Pac 12 officials.... ?? ROTFLMAO. Its time we take care of number 1 and thats basketball. I bet money Riley , Issel, or Pratt could do just as good with football as Barnhart has done.

"University of Kentucky Director of Athletics Mitch Barnhart has been named chair of the Southeastern Conference Athletics Directors, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey announced Wednesday.

“Mitch’s experience as a proven leader makes him uniquely qualified to head our group of athletics directors during this particularly important time in the history of intercollegiate athletics,” Sankey said. “He commands the ability to identify solutions to problems and to navigate complex issues with a diverse group of strong leaders from our various institutions. I look forward to working with Mitch in his new role.”

Barnhart, who is in his 16th year as Kentucky athletics director, was selected by a unanimous vote of his fellow SEC athletics directors during a meeting on Tuesday in Birmingham."

He got that because he has tenure in the SEC .. Its not because they like him. If He had friends.......... that USC game would never of fouled out our entire team. The SEC doesnt disrespect people they like

This is stupid. Especially thinking Riley would have any interest in leaving Miami and his $11+ million salary.

Yeah, I want Mitch to stick around, personally. I don't want what is happening to Louisville happening to us.

He's promised to ban himself a dozen times and the little beach never makes good on his promise.

We all know he will not honor that promise.

How dare you talk about KWilts character like that.

When he made that bet, one of the mods, Jedwar I think, sounded like he was gonna hold him to it. He hasn't posted since midnight after the USC game. A USC victory was one of the 3 conditions of the bet. He might be gone.

Because he had other times he could have, on national television, announced for another school? It just so happens that almost all of UK's fanbase will be tuned in for the game. What better time to tell the viewers he's going to another university?

Lets say its ESPN that wanted it at 8 and now 8:15.... then its ESPN who endorses ACC basketball above all else trolling us.......... which actually makes things much much worse than just Zion's people trolling us.

Either way it goes........ respect for UK has gone down hill bad ever since Mitch was hired.

I am still struggling with this, call me stupid, he is announcing at 8, and we tip at 8:15. We see the announcement and then watch the game, what's the problem, unless he doesn't pick UK.
