    John Wall’s comments on Mark Pope and Kentucky

    If you're coaching for any reason other than to win at UK, you've "lost your edge". That's the entire reason he was hired and being paid such a ridiculous salary. He forgot that winning was priority #1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. That's losing you're edge in my book, or at the very least, losing your way.

    Zakai Zeigler sues NCAA, seeking another year of eligibility.

    I've been asking myself this for a while. I think we need to start by admitting that this really isn't college basketball anymore. It's a farm league for the NBA. This Zeigler kid isn't asking for another year so he can finish up his degree, he's asking for it so he can grab a pile of money for...

    What happens to players not picked up in the portal?

    I think for those of us that are not big professional sports followers, the amateur aspect was something we appreciated. I get that money drives everything now, there’s no mistaking that. But, if I wanted all the contract drama, holdouts, guys not honoring their word, I’d watch pro sports. But...

    I Hate This Era

    This is the problem. The younger guys have no idea how great things used to be. You can tell them, but they didn't live through it, so they don't really "get it". This is the only college basketball they know and so they don't see all the same problems that we older guys see. It's not the same...

    “Pope can not recruit”

    Yeah, hopefully everyone has backed down off the ledge.

    Jayden Quaintance commits to UK!

    I'm fine with his hair off the court, it's his head, he can do whatever he wants with it. BUT, if I'm coach, I'm a little concerned about his peripheral vision on the court. If you look at some of his pics, his hair almost looks like blinders on a horse. I might be trying to talk him into a...

    Yaxel to Michigan.

    Well I guess we can ignore Larry’s predictions going forward!

    Defense!

    Don’t let the CCC fans hear you say that. If it’s not an ugly slopfest of a win, they aren’t happy, everything has to be difficult. That’s the only way it really feels like a win for them.

    Cal advances to sweet sixteen

    I don't know about that either. But, I think he's saying the Big East maybe wasn't the greatest conference. I personally thought this was a Pitino team that he got to play above their level all season. I never considered them a real FF threat.

    Pope just said Butler healthy

    We're less than 72 hours from when he was hurt on Thursday. How is the injury okay now but there's no way he could have played against Alabama? It's whatever though, I'm glad he'll be good to go in the tourney.

    Our fanbase is trash

    Our fanbase is trash

    I agree with you about giving Pope a break, it's year 1 for God's sake. However, I do not agree with you about the fan base at all. THERE IS NO BETTER FAN BASE IN ALL OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL, PERIOD!!!! Nashville will become a ghost town now that KY is out of it. No one travels better or supports...

    Will we be more talented in the coming years?

    As long as the coaching and money is there, I'm not so sure. This league isn't an accident this year. These teams are good for a reason. Obviously things can change and most likely will.
