with all those transfers, juco, grad. If cal adopts this and combines it with his high school recruiting it could revolutionize the game. No one is combining the two and cal has a chance to get back ahead of things. It’s the path I see to winning a couple more titles. Adopt the Texas tech model and combine it with the high end recruits and it will solve a lot of problems of youth Blah blah blah.

People seem to think that if Cal can get 7 McD's AA freshmen and 8 JUCO/Grad transfers, then we will be all peachy.

Same people seem to forget there are only 200 minutes available to be played by all members of a team during a regulation college game. Hard to convince a ton of either camp to come to UK when minutes will be limited due to such congestion.

There are a good amount of people on here who wouldn't be satisified if we signed every available player in CBB. They would still convince themselves we are missing 1 piece we really need. It's gotten embarrassing really. To supposedly be the greatest basketball fanbase in the world, we sure do have a lot of whiney pussies amongst us.

As our current roster stands, we aren’t winning a national title next year. I watched EJ and Nick enough to know that. PJ and Reid are gone. We were awful when they were out of the game this year. We lost about 80-90% of our scoring from last year. Return 1 starter. 1. I don’t understand the rationale about downing our fans because they want to add a few more players. That’s just being a fan.

Texas Tech had one good year. Let's see what happens the next few years.

The Texas Tech model? The one that has them one final four?

And an Elite Eight. Better than we have done the last two years.

Tech isn’t a basketball power with tradition to sell and ridiculous resources. So acting like we are on an even playing field is misleading.

Also, Beard has only been there for three seasons. The program had never been to an Elite Eight before him and now he’s been to two.

Yeah the team with one Final 4 appearance and the team we’ve been to 4 as many Final 4’s than in the last 10 years
Now that’s genuine rupp rafters frontier gibberish; give that guy a humrumpf! Hurumpf!

If Cal were to go that route, look for K to quickly follow. If we are only going to have certain players for a year then lets get proven juniors and seniors. I would love to have Blackshear, he's been through the wars and is tough as nails.

I wish you were on an even playing field with other posters on here. It must suck to be a loser.

Man, since we aren't winning next year, there should be no reason for you to be upset or post anymore since the season is already over with.

It must suck to be this insecure when you react like this over someone showing you up in your flawed argument.

We aren’t winning a title with EJ and Nick as our only bigs. But I’ll continue posting regardless. I’m just a rational fan, and you’re the next homer.

If we don’t win it, then you are right. So far we have had teams with multiple McD-AAs and failed to win.

Winning is what matters to college basketball fans. Not getting close, not draft picks, not NBA Allstate. College championship are remembered by everyone.

You haven't got enough sense to show someone up.

You’re obviously angry at the world and this message board is a way for you to feel like you’re tough and important. No doubt you’re the type of guy who would call into KSR.

[laughing]

I know from your previous posts that you don’t really have anything to offer so I’ll give you some advice on how discussions and debates work. You present a logical rebuttal to someone’s argument and point out where it’s wrong. You can’t. You just love redneck flyby postings.

On ignore you go.

But the OAD model with the best players is going away.

The best coaches will be those that build the 3 and 4 year player and maximize their abilities.

Players like Edwards, Wiseman, Anthony, Carey, Whitney, Stewart, McDaniels, Achiuwa,
and 4 more each year bypassing college.

The coach that can identify and coach the next tier is going to win.

whatever Cal does the NCAA will find some way to limit his abilities to do it as well as UNC or PUKE.

Homer fan club has united.

You can’t be rational to these people. Nick is gonna average a triple double next year. I’m on notice.
You are so positive. Fans like you would not be happy if Cal won a championship 5 years in a row. You would find something that he did wrong. You probably never even picked up a basketball in your life.

We will likely be far better next year. If you think EJ and Nick are awful, obviosuly you don't know very much about basketball. Both have tons of ability and have demonstrated it. It's simply mental and maturity for both at this point. I watched them play together several times this season and liked a lot of what I saw.

Maxey could easily better than Herro. Whitney can be as good if not better than KJ.

We relied very heavily on PJ the last 2 years and we saw what it looked like without him. This team will have way more balance, which will take time to develop, but that is great in the long run.

We will have 6 veteran players, maybe a 7th if we add another transfer. And all of them played a good amount. That is incredible.

You add in development and improvement we always see and I think we have a great shot.

Ahh I get it. You’re still mad about my rational post from yesterday. Almost forgot. For clarification, this homer is mad that I said Cal wouldn’t win another title under our current model. You know, losing 90% of our scoring every season, and no top 5 recruits anymore. I need to be more homer.

How are we going to be far better next year? I’m failing to see this. We lost 4 starters. Let the roster play out. Cal is still recruiting.

this place is sunshine pump city. I'm with you on the EJ and NR. they will both have 3 fouls in the first half next season if they are in the game at the same time. I hope they improve but they will have to do some serious time in the weight room and develop some since of urgency and toughness. both of them are just so passive it's insane.

You can’t communicate with these types rationally. Any constructive criticism is seen as blasphemous and any praise of something else is considered “treasonous.”

These are the ones who end up deluding themselves.

Cal would make k look like an innovator, again.

Billy G already tried this. I guess this is the new flavor of the month for people who think Kentucky should just roll to titles every other year.

That's because you don't seem to know what to look for. You can lose 4 starters and be better. We lost 8 players the year before and while we Kept Richards, he lost his starting spot. So we had 4 knew starters and were better. Which literally proves your theory wrong. We lost every starter from the 15-16 team and were far better in 16 -17. Would you disagree?
