1. This sport is corrupt as hell. It was corrupt before I was even alive (Rupp's point shaving teams.) It will be corrupt up until the day our planet is destroyed.

2. It's naive to think the corruption doesn't touch Lexington. Anthony Davis' father was absolutely shopping him to the highest bidder. We have every reason to believe a UK donor bought that recruitment. But it delivered a national championship and no one can definitively prove anything, so who cares?

I seriously doubt Davis dad was shopping. Recent history would tell you that if that were the case he wouldn’t have been at UK because Cal clearly isn’t willing to do that. Otherwise we’d have been more involved with guys like Ayton, Little, and not have been 4th in zion’s list according to him.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Nike did something suspect however. Davis infamously tweeted “Nike bound” and deleted it a few weeks before he made his commitment public. It could have just been a brand loyalty thing. But with all that’s become public over the last year and a half it’s hard not to be skeptical.

Then why aren’t we involved in this crap? Nothing remotely incriminating has come out on us since Cal has been here. No other blue blood can say that.

Stop trying so hard to be a contrarian.

Stop trying so hard to feed a narrative that is just complete nonsense.

If anyone believes uk is 100% clean and all others are cheating they aren't being realistic. There's a reason the recruiting has dropped off slightly. No longer getting assistance from crooked world wide Wes. Plain to see, check the timeline.

its hard for me to believe this just started *after* we landed Antony Davis. As in, there was no sneaker money floating around with John Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe, Noel, etc.,

For this to hold water, it means that it started after we locked up KAT. or technically Skal

Our fans are funny. There is as much proof that AD was shopped as there is Duke is buying recruits.

Except one group swears by the proof they have.

So you think any decent player is coming here out of the shear desire to play college basketball versus going elsewhere and getting paid. That is naive.

Zion Williamson's parents are living in the proof that dook buys recruits.

AD's dad did shop him to the highest bidder. Bam's mentor did shop him to the highest bidder. The lack of physical evidence won't change those facts. But it will help me sleep at night knowing that UK has someone very smart steering the ship.

And Knox, Noel and others were also paid for. I get it.

It is funny reading how fans continue to say we are clean and everyone else is dirty. If that were remotely true, there would be noMaxey, Johnson, Whitney.

Ummmm... I take it you are unaware that Eric Peartree shopped Bam to the highest bidder?

I mean, everyone knew about Eric Peartree and what he was doing. NC State thought they had the winning bid, but someone connected to UK outbid them late in the race. Go sit at an AAU event and ask Evan Daniels or some other recruiting analyst to tell you everything they know about Bam's "mentor" Eric Peartree.



These threads are so stupid. It's like you guys are asking for people to chime in with the dirty stuff UK has gotten away with. Just stop it and be thankful there is no one on the staff as dumb as Book Richardson.

Was there a partridge involved?

People can say it’s nonsense but these are all schools that news came out on, am I right?

You do realize there are at least 2 more FBI trials coming next year. One of which will focus on Nike-related targets. The full scope of which we will not know until the FBI's cases are presented in court.

We didn't know that Zion Williamson's stepdad was asking for money, a house, and a job until the day that fact was presented in court during a trial aimed at Adidas targets.



So stop pretending like we are out of the woods here. No one knows what the FBI has discovered. No one knows what new witnesses will cut deals and testify in the upcoming trials. Just like the Zion news, there will be new scandalous bombs dropped during the upcoming trial.


The one thing that gives me solace is Cal. He isn't a moron. He's managed to steer UK through multiple shady recruitments without getting caught. So I have faith that he (and his assistants) know how to tap dance through the minefield without blowing themselves up.

We’re well aware of the pear tree stuff. Kentucky wasn’t involved. Pear tree tried to get him to go to nc state and bam cut ties. None of that implicates Kentucky. Bam and his mother’s life style didn’t change. They weren’t suddenly in a million dollar home.

“Fact checker” lol.

No one with any credibility has ever said anything about Kentucky shopping for players in all of this. You’re trying so hard to make stuff up sell yourself on here as being credible. Keep going. I’m enjoying it on my down time at work.

And you still don’t know that. A runner represented influence. Doesn’t mean he had it.

Obviously it doesn't matter what comes out of the next 2 trials ......... as we see Kansas, Ariz, and Duke aren't suffering I'll effects from the last one. I dont think anyone expects Emmert and the NCAA to swoop in and slap KU and Duke with sanctions. And coming on the "heels" of the biggest and longest fraud ever perpetrated on the NCAA's ideals resulting in zero penalties and essentially neutering the NCAA by it's own hand ....... I think the Big Five pretty much have carte blanche to do whatever they want at this point.

You keep talking all this **** about Kentucky, you do know that Sandy Bell and the UK compliance department is one of the toughest in the country, not gonna let Cal recruit any players that they think will get Kentucky Basketball in any hot water.. You need to go back to the Duke board, or did they get tired of your **** to and run you off..

Exactly like they will not touch Kentucky either, even if them or Cal is somehow implemented in anything..

And Ole Bledsoe slept in a car for appearances...totally took the dough.[eyeroll]

Bull, you and I both know Bledsoe had it good in high school. Him and his mother was took care of, will just leave it at that.. Just like his grades mysteriously getting changed good enough to qualify for Kentucky..
