The platoon system didn't keep these kids away. The pressure to win every game did.

It doesn't sound like any of these spring kids wanted the challenge.

Martin and California without any success lands two top players in Rabb and Brown suddenly? Yeah that sounds legit alright

California, Mississippi State, and LSU (I'll give UNLV a break since they at least have some history.) land 5-star players, no one bats an eye. Yet the school with 8 National Championships and more wins than anyone else in college basketball history has to "pay players" to get anyone. Well what the frick's been going on this off-season, is everyone else suddenly handing out max deals?

Next year will be rough even with Murray. Murray ain't happening. Nit

I agree. Murray isn't coming to Kentucky. This whole spring recruiting season has been a colossal tease and an epic failure.

I feel like our fans have played the role of Icarus for an entire month - flying too close to the sun over and over, only to plunge back to the earth.

Brown would have help Kentucky...but you have a very strong class joining Poy and Lee. It's not a NIT season next year. You guys had a rough April, it only gets better from here. See you on Jan-30 in the Big12/SEC Challenge.

Chin up..you're Kentucky.

Well, look fellers, maybe with the class we have we should be ok. Hell no, with the class we have we should be way better than O.K. Years ago if we had the same class everybody would be excited.what it tells me is that pritty much our coach may be gone. I hate to say it but writing is on the wall. SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brown must have listened to Shareef Abdul Rahim after all.
. I talked to Shareef once at a tournament 3 or 4 yrs ago and asked him why he hadn't chosen a bigger school. His reply was that not everyone wants to play under the scrutiny that u have at a school like Ky or Duke . I think Brown falls in that category! Just my take.

This has been a form of recruiting rehab for me. I am cleansed of the demons.. I think.

our coach isn't going anywhere, but some people are likely spending a lot of time convincing recruits otherwise

Go the F*** back where you belong Gayhawk.

As for your little signature, here a new one I made.

**thanks to little step brother, UKU, for helping kentucky make the way to the all time wins list. We couldn't have done it without their 22 losses **

Some people on here are seriously whacked. Its an 18 year old kid making what he thinks is the best decision for his future. Yeah it sucks that he didn't come here, but wish the kid well and move on.

He just seemed like a West Coast guy to me from the beginning. Cal's program and coach may not be the best, but that area of California is pretty nice way to spend a year of college.

Thanks for the "HE'S ONLY A BOY" post.

Now one one else has to do it. Out of the way.

As you've no doubt gathered from some of the responses you've gotten on here, we're not exactly what you'd call "gracious in defeat".

nobody gave a **** about Jaylen Brown 2 days ago, but then all this info started "leaking" to get our hopes up, only to be sucker punched

it's not a coincidence

Did brown even take a visit to cal?

What a bizarre class. Cuonzo was an awful recruiter at Tennessee and now he's hauling in multiple top 10 players to a school with virtually no basketball success? Just weird.

Hey, I understand. I don't like losing either. A lot of Kansas fans have nothing but respect for Kentucky. I know it doesn't feel good now, but Kentucky will be Kentucky next year. You will compete for a NC. I know a lot of Kentucky fans wouldn't, but I consider Cal part of the Jayhawk family. And he will always have my respect.

It's fine if a kid picks another school but don't say you want certain things then pick the opposite
