    Has Murray's Committment Signaled to Future Recruits That Cal is "Back"?

    Murray or no Murray, all the ill effects of negative recruiting due to the platoon system would have been completely washed away by Friday morning, when the world would have woken up to four former UK players landing lottery pick contracts on limited playing time in their college careers. Now we...

    How much does that make up for the misses?

    He was exactly what we needed, and we got him. What's very important to me is that Alex gets to play the 4, his natural position, and we get to see him shine like he can (and will).

    Murray to UK

    Now that I think about it, I'm glad we didn't get any of those kids who would be dumb enough to pick anyone but us. We are loaded. I'm so excited. Bring it on!!

    Classic caller to MJ show today

    Not sure if anyone clued y'all in, but your accent has literally nothing to do with your intelligence level.

    Who else is excited to have just a normal, decent team with potential to grow into something more?

    I'm with you fellers. I can't wait to see what this team can do--just like any year. And I have faith that if any guy can take a team to its ceiling, it's Cal.

    I might be totally wrong here, but I am blaming

    We are seeing a result of the IDEA of the platoon system, not its reality. These kids make up their minds or lean heavily in their junior year. You have to think that opposing coaches got in their heads about the platoon system and their chances of success at Kentucky before it was made evident...

    10 month old necro'd thread courtesy of @W2R

    Might as well start looking towards the 2016-2017 season? Are you seriously discounting an entire season before it's even begun? I've heard a lot of dumb stuff come from you, but this takes the cake. If you can't enjoy a season of UK basketball that could end up Elite Eight in a down...

    The fan base is insufferable right now.

    There is a massive difference between expressing an opinion and acting a fool. Some of you act like you've never spent any time on this board and never witnessed the Chicken Littledom that infects a loud faction of this fanbase. Please!

    My take on recruiting losses

    You nailed it squarely on the head. Everyone needs to just read this post, relax, enjoy the gorgeous spring weather, and show a little faith in Cal and this program.

    Willies new brand

    Most of the people on this thread are jackasses. Willie has always been into fashion and design. This is one of his dreams, and one of the aspects of his well-rounded personality that he gets to pursue as a result of his sports success. I wish him nothing but the best and I think he'll do...

    Your Thoughts on the New Board Format?

    I love it on my phone, but it will take some getting used to on my laptop. Also, with the Like feature, I can lurk better.

    Did anybody else see this?

    I predict Skal will be referred to by his first name more than any player in the history of UK basketball.

    Karl towns thank you letter

    Extremely well said. Karl-Anthony looked like a colt at the beginning of the season, one you knew would be challenging Secretariat once he got his legs steadied under him. It was a privilege to see him start to understand his gifts and grow into a dominant presence on the court. In regards to...

    DING DING DING DING DING! Someone gets it. This reply should be required reading for all who comment about the players' draft decisions, including Mark Dickhorsey.
