First, it was FL was a sure thing because he was from there and we should give up it was done. Then ARK had some heat and was named as a real player and not to be overlooked. Then it was UK done deal and now it's over to TN with no real confirmation, just gut calls and reading the tea leaves. Let's not throw in the towel just yet as it could turn again and possibly no announcement even comes tomorrow. We all not it's not only best for UK, but best for Kerry, but at least if he's that dumb t go to TN it ain't FL and the SEC should be ours. We have a fine team, but we do need another big and maybe a reclass happens with him not coming.
Dante is almost definitely moving to 2019 it's just can we steal him away from the cheating *** LSU tigers. If not I like the idea of small ball with Ashton, Maxey, Quickly, Brooks and EJ. If EJ makes a big jump it could be huge and a PJ like adjustment. EJ didn't get to play through mistakes as PJ did as a Freshman because we had RT and PJ. EJ has a crazy ceiling there is no doubt about that and I think Brooks is way better than most think. This will be some of the most experience Cal has had at UK and still a Top recruiting class and a Grad Transfer. 1 Senior, 1 Junior, and 3 Sophomores are pretty dam good for UK. Let's not throw in the towel just yet.
KB would have almost assured a FF appearance, but even without him and most schools down we still have a real good chance to make it. We were an OT from the FF this year and I think this team will be better than the last one. We lost 4 and gained 6. Instead of 3 returners, we have 4. All is not lost and Cal may still have a trick up his sleeve. He said at SEC media day without being asked that we have 1 center and what if he gets hurt. I guess we will play 4 guards for the first time and figure out how to make it work.
How in the world KB would pass on the most exposure in college BB and the best NBA connections not to mention joining a Top 5 team and a real chance to not only make a FF in his final year, but to win a title and have that exposure go until the last day in the season when exposure is blown up to the max for the best players. To pass that up to join a team coming off their best team in over 100+ years and still zero success in the Tourney is bonkers, a lateral move and if it happens shows a guy that just doesn't get it. TN lost Alexander, Bone, Admiral, and Flop. They do not reload as we do. Even if they do land KB I would expect them to finish no better then 4th in the SEC behind us, FL, LSU, and AUB. Hell, I could understand FL, but TN makes no sense and shows something fishy or someone that is bad at making decisions or is afraid of competition. Plus Good Ole Barnes has to pull a kids scholly he has promised to them because he found someone better. Class act. He will be reminded of how dumb of a decision it was if he picks Tn at least twice. Because I think we will beat the breaks off them with this new team.
I haven't thrown in the towel on KB just yet because I don't want to think he is that nieve. He just can't think TN gives him a better shot in the Tourney or the draft. He just can't.
