    This article debunks Rafters JMI takes

    It debunks nothing. It's such a sound, revolutionary arrangement that university athletic departments all over America have embraced it...:rolleyes:

    Guess what?

    That UK's arrangement with JMI is not helping UK or Pope recruit. It is hindering it.

    Yaxel Lendeborg

    First, I don't believe Yaxel for a second. Secondly, Yaxel committed to Michigan on April 5, 2025, signing on May 27. The JMI extension with Kentucky Athletics causing the problems that national folks have written about was signed on August 11, 2025, more than four months after Yaxel's...

    We should feel embarrassed right now

    It is no fun, Bugs. At all. Like you, I believe Pope shouldn't have been the choice. He was put in a bad situation. Whoever followed Cal would have been. If it is true about his inability to close recruits, hampered by JMI, his wholesale changes during games, crazy lineups, and post-game...

    Coach Cal will claim yet another SEC title tomorrow

    Thanks, ITVI. My suspicion is that we both are a bit long in the tooth. I have Rupp's autograph. I have my father's 1948 & 1949 scrapbook of UK basketball. I've given several articles to Jon Scott for his incredible website. My first basketball heartbreak was the '70 season end against...

    When does our Blue Blood status come into question?

    Kentucky, Kansas and UNC are BLUE BLOODS. They have been winning and racking up all-time records for d-e-c-a-d-e-s. The Floridas and UCONNs are great today - making them NEW bloods. Florida had a losing record in the SEC tournament all-time until last year for gosh sakes and did not win a title...

    Someone explain to me

    My understanding is that both were PR options for visibility while Barney was buying time to look at others. Sure...he would have taken either, but Hurley basically laughed and Drew looked out of courtesy and had his family spend a day in Lexington "just to see." Expensive day, and another miss...

    Someone explain to me

    May has been enfatuated with the alure of Michigan as a top - or the top - public school in the nation year after year. The alumni base is something he spoke about when he took the job. He can recruit to the great state university (Izzo is not a happy guy about how things seem to be turning)...

    Someone explain to me

    Which is a travesty. Barney has overseen this debacle. Responsible for the destruction of OUR program. Not his. Ours. Thanks for the support, Eli... :mad:

    Kansas gains another game on all time wins

    Entering this season, Kansas had played 130 more games than Kentucky. Kansas had lost 139 more games than Kentucky had. Let that sink in a bit. In my lifetime, my alma mater has won more games than any college basketball program for nearly 18,500 days. UNC and KU have both passed UK for a...

    Would Notre Dame had won the 2015 NCAA title if they had beaten UK in the Elite Eight?

    "Hoops" lived in Lexington for one year in order to write a book on Kentucky Basketball during Pitino's legendary time at UK. On multiple occassions, he has stated unequivocally that Kentucky is the greatest program in the history of the sport. Some of the columns he wrote in the late Larry...

    Would Notre Dame had won the 2015 NCAA title if they had beaten UK in the Elite Eight?

    Poythress makes a significant difference had he played the last 32 games. IMO he would have been the difference in making game #40 and UK's 9th NCAA title.

    Caleb Wilson is OUT with a fracture in his left hand

    Carolina had the same thing happen to Brad Daugherty in the 1984 sweet 16 game against IU. In January of that same season, Kenny Smith broke his wrist. I was living in Chapel Hill that year and thought for sure that UK and UNC would meet for the title in Seattle.
