    Jones is shredding UK MBB right now

    I am not pointing to NIL as the problem. The problem is the coach and his unwillingness to adapt to a changing environment. You and I can not be on board with NIL all we want, but it's still a reality. If you don't adapt to it, you're going to be left behind.

    Jones is shredding UK MBB right now

    When Cal was at Memphis, he hated having to scrap, claw, and fight to get the best recruits. Go back and listen to his comments around that time when he first came to Kentucky. His hope was his charisma and Kentucky would sell itself. For a while, it did. NIL has changed things and he...

    Memphis no longer Recruiting Chris Livingston

    I haven't, but I have seen a few videos touring it. It's on par with the Memphis practice facility.

    ?? Memphis arguably has as good or better practice facilities than Kentucky.

    Congrats to Penny Hardaway on Winning a National Championship (in preseason war of words)

    How would Memphis be better off with Tubby?? It sounds like things worked out best for everyone involved.

    Memphis in Bahamas minus Wiseman and Precious.

    I am in no way trying to say Memphis is on the same level as Kentucky in the college basketball pecking order. Very few programs are. Only pointing out that your "middle of the pack" statement was ignorant. Despite your big long post, it is still an ignorant statement.

    Memphis in Bahamas minus Wiseman and Precious.

    Good grief. I realize you hate Memphis, but "not even middle of the pack"? I mean, there are over 350 division 1 college basketball programs. To say that Memphis is not even middle of the pack just proves to me that you are ignorant. Kenpom recently ranked them 22nd (since 1997, since that's...

    I guess that could be true, but I also think you should take off the blue shaded glasses and try to see from someone else's perspective. Maybe he just developed better relationships with the coaching staff at Oregon. Maybe he had better relationships with the current Oregon recruiting class...

    College basketball national title odds

    Again, your personal opinions regarding the program shape your view of the world around it. So basically, if anyone goes to Memphis they must have been told "It's your Ball"? Why? Because YOU just can't believe they would have success recruiting top players, so let's assume anyone that does...

    College basketball national title odds

    haha, I can't argue that. Hopefully that will change in the future. I wasn't trying to knock Kentucky for that NIT season, only push the point that there is a lot that has to happen to win big in college basketball, and sometimes even with talent and coaching, things don't work out like fans hope.

    College basketball national title odds

    Y You're right. I think a lot of what happens in March is a combination of talent, coaching, chemistry, and pure luck. I mean, I watched an extremely talented Kentucky team lose in the first round of the NIT several years ago.

    College basketball national title odds

    If we're honest, I think we all just see what we want to see. Guess we will know by this time next year what's true.

    College basketball national title odds

    I know you hate Memphis, but you can't really believe this. If you want to doubt this Memphis team, that's fine. But base it on coaching and Penny's lack of experience. James Wiseman is widely projected to be the no. 1 pick in the draft. If he signed with Kentucky, would he still be "a...

    You might be right. Or, you might be wrong. I guess that's why they play the games! Your ability to communicate your opinions as facts is commendable though. Bravo.
