    Transfer coming to UK?

    If this turns out to be CJ Fredrick, I'll be very excited! There has never been a Kentucky team in history win a title without a Kentucky born shooter contributing. He's not a star but we don't need him to be. Play the Lee Humphrey role at Florida or Cameron Mills role. Those guys were also...

    If you did, when and why did you fall out of love with Cal?

    I’ll also forever be grateful for the memories we’ve shared since Cal has been here. Some of the best of my life to be honest. Won’t you always remember where you were and who you were with when Aaron Harrison went on his March thrill? Or the euphoria you felt when Brandon Knight pumped his...

    Next Year

    IMO the roster needs four in the front court, five on the wing and two lead guards. I’ll go... PG - Hickman and Askew Wings - Powell, Allen, Boston, Toppin and Mintz Front Court - Oscar, Collins, Hopkins and Brooks or Ware. Brooks is the wild card. Don’t have any feel on what he’s going to do...

    The perception of talent since 2015

    Agreed. It’s really the most accurate and succinct way to frame this. Couple shots here and there and the success of ‘11 and ‘14 could have very easily been swapped with ‘17 and ‘19. Win or lose, the margins under Cal have been alarming small. Can’t imagine a team has played in as many close...

    UConn

    Hate to say it but UCONN had the better players in 2011. Kemba Walker is a perennial All Star, Jeremy Lamb is still a career double digit scorer in the league and Shabazz Napier is still making rosters. Those dudes were objectively more talented than us. You're spot on RE: 2014 - we had the...

    The perception of talent since 2015

    Good points, and I agree to an extent! But I'd be curious to see how many of the key early year Cal guys ever scored at the level some of the recent guys have in the NBA. Lamb, Jones, Teague, Harrisons, Young, Dakari, Marcus Lee, Archie, Ulis, Poythress, etc. Did those guys ever average double...

    The perception of talent since 2015

    Devin Booker is the most obvious example of this. Tough spot for Cal with that one. Booker was obviously the more talented player, but Aaron Harrison had a proven track record of major success in the NCAA Tournament. If he benches Aaron for Devin and we still lose, it would have been...

    UConn

    UCONN's struggles look to be quite clear. They haven't recruited at nearly the same level as they once did. In the early and mid 2000s, they were consistently in the top 10 or 20 recruiting classes. The latter half of the last decade, their classes weren't even ranked. Hurley looks to have...

    The perception of talent since 2015

    I've analyzed this every way I can. We've had superstars, top draft picks, returning 5 stars, 4 stars, Kentucky kids and seniors. With 2012 being the (wonderful) outlier, my only conclusion is that no matter what the roster makeup or Seed is, the NCAA tournament under Cal is going to be a gut...

    Who would you like to play?

    It's not a trendy pick, but I'd love to see the Indiana series renewed as a neutral court rotation between Lucas Oil and the Yum Center. The 50/50 red vs. blue split was such a unique tradition in CBB and cool to be a part of. It was the CBB version of the Florida-Georgia football game.

    Your Favorite "Come From Behind" Victories in UK Basketball History

    Agreed with all of the above - awesome memories. Going to add 2014 against UL in Indy. Down 7 with 4 to go... What an incredible night on the streets of Indy that was - will never forget it!

    Updated 2010-15 Results Versus 2016-21

    These numbers are very telling, great post. Cal has a very specific formula that needs to be followed for his model to have (elite) levels of success. He hasn't been following that formula and thus the results have dropped. Cal's formula for success: Elite PG + Top 5 Freshman + 5 Star...
