    Has there ever been a UK coach you like his entire career?

    I didn’t say I would have been happy. I said, “He would’ve been revered.” No future coach could’ve made us happy. Imagine how many times we would’ve said (and posted) “If only Cal would have stayed … I agree with you that Kentucky would’ve burned Lexington to the ground and chased Mitch off...

    Has there ever been a UK coach you like his entire career?

    Coaching adage “Leave when they love you.” Rick left at the right time. Was loved until he went to UL. Most people are now over him going to UL because Pope helped people forgive him. Cal would be revered if he went to UCLA just before COVID. He stuck around a couple years too long. Tubby...

    Quaintance picked 20th (Spurs)

    There’s no doubt people are paying for future potential. The kid is 18 years old! Pope rolled the dice. Spurs are rolling the dice with a guaranteed 2-3 year contract. Fact remains that JQ still has knee problems and did while here.

    Quaintance picked 20th (Spurs)

    Cough, cough … Your thoughts on today’s news? Is it fake news? It’s been written about for weeks. I’m the first to admit the Sharpe debacle causes me to 2nd guess injuries and players sitting out. However, I do believe JQ wanted to play and couldn’t. Today’s news should make that clear to...

    Quaintance picked 20th (Spurs)

    Fair enough. Looks to me like he rushed back to play before he was ready. I appreciate him pushing to get back. Many people thought the timeline was overly optimistic. I do think the Sharpe fiasco has caused us to not trust a player’s motive. Regarding Peterson, it’s obvious he didn’t want to...

    Quaintance picked 20th (Spurs)

    Do you think NBA medical evaluations are incorrect? They say he’s not fine. Maybe they’re all in it together wanting to stick it to us as fans.

    Quaintance picked 20th (Spurs)

    @LineSkiCat14 While acknowledging this is an Internet board and everyone’s entitled to their opinion, I don’t understand animosity towards JQ. NBA people are concerned about his knee and everyone says it’s not completely healed. The kid wasn’t faking an injury. Looks like he pushed too hard to...

    No Green Room/Draft invite for JQ

    I’ve not heard or read a single statement from the kid. I’m just reading what NBA scouts are saying. They’re still concerned that his knee isn’t completely healed. We’re 4 months from season being over. Do you think scouts are covering for him?

    Rumors suggest BYU transfer point guard Rob Wright III didn't enjoy a very positive visit to Mark Pope's basketball program on Monday.

    Totally disagree with you! You trust agent and player when they say they’re seriously interested. If rumors are correct then Pope smelled it out pretty fast and sent them home a day early. (Not sure that’s getting played.) Pope struggled early this cycle, but I don’t think this recruitment was...

    Rumors suggest BYU transfer point guard Rob Wright III didn't enjoy a very positive visit to Mark Pope's basketball program on Monday.

    You bring a player of that caliber in for a visit if player and agent want to come. If you feel like you’re being played, then you send him home or let him visit Lexington by himself for a couple days. (But, you don’t ignore the initial interest.) You do keep receipts on the agent. This agent...

    No Green Room/Draft invite for JQ

    I was BBallCat4 on old site and cannot get old name even though I have old login credentials. (Any help greatly appreciated on that front.) Serious question-why are some fans happy with JQ’s slide and still angry with him? It should now be obvious to everyone that he was injured at UK, and...

    Brandon Garrison

    BG has had effort issues this year, and has struggled to find his role. Tonight was it. It’s what he was last year. He needs to be a high energy guy off the bench that makes his money on defensive end, hustle plays, and offensive rebounding. He deserves some credit tonight.

    Can he shoot? We’ve already got enough brick layers to unionize.
