    No UK players in first round

    Full disclosure...non-UK fan here. Honest question... Why would this be a bad thing for UK? Isn't the OAD model based on the assumption a number of players will leave each year? I'm guessing (correct me if I'm wrong) there are no open scholarships, so don't you need some players to leave to...

    If zion says shock the world...

    I've got no dog in this fight one way or the other, but it's only a three hour interstate drive drive from Spartanburg to Durham. I know because I make it each month. Most folks here in the upstate of South Carolina believe it's between Clemson and UK with a lean toward Clemson... but...

    Cal won’t have to worry about getting TV time at the

    Sincere question from an outsider... IF most of the current roster were to stay, how does that affect the OAD model of recruiting. The 2012 team seems to have have benefited from the lack of turnover on their way to the title, but it was followed up by the NIT/Robert Morris team. I guess the...

    NBA exec re: UK and Duke

    I have to laugh when I see stuff like this. The best team is determined out on the court... not in a tweet.

    Jim Larranaga" "I Am Coach-3"

    I believe the statement said he and his legal team believe he is Coach 3 based on the report. Miami admitted quite early it was University 7 and it's widely believed Player 12 is Nassir Little. Coach 3 is is most likely associated with Miami based on the report. Given all that, he's just...

    NCAA announces Commission on College Basketball

    Goodness... so much hostility. You might want to talk to someone about that. Actually, I find college basketball has become increasingly less interesting to watch. Perhaps that is because of my age... I am old enough to remember when freshmen weren't eligible... and the game has quite...

    NCAA announces Commission on College Basketball

    "Are you even a UK fan, because this is a statement that a UL or IU fan would make regarding how the OAD is ruining college basketball." No, I am not a Kentucky fan. I lurk here in the off-season from time to time as it's a very active board and you can find some interesting threads if you sift...

    NCAA announces Commission on College Basketball

    Well... the OAD are not going to enroll in college to sit and then go the draft the next year. They're going to pursue professional opportunities overseas, which is not something the NBA wants to see happen. How does this punish anyone? Eighteen year-old kids get a year to acclimate to one of...

    NCAA announces Commission on College Basketball

    The NCAA floated the idea of returning to freshmen ineligibility several months ago. I don't believe they were really serious, but wanted to gauge the NBA's reaction. Given the scandal they now face, I think they should probably move forward with a vote on the measure. Tell the NBA, "Fine...

    Top 3 UK Coaches

    Full disclosure... I'm not a UK fan, but I find this discussion very interesting. I want to ask a question I ordinarily wouldn't ask as I'm rather an old school kinda guy and I don't necessarily like the direction in which modern college athletics is drifting. I think the vast majority of...

    The championships that perhaps got away

    Not really sure about this one. That one got away because UK shot less than 40% from the field not because the retirement announcement inspired UCLA to spectacular heights. Jimmy Dan Conner, Mike Flynn and Jack Givens just didn't get it done. If it weren't for Kevin Grevey and Bob Guyette, it...

    Ugghh....Cal getting hammered on Twitter!

    While I expect it will have no lasting impact on UK's recruiting, I wonder if it might effect his recruiting efforts of any players on the U19 team?
