-A lot of people talking about BFE lately. Let me know when some AK-47 toting Bedouins give you and 18 school mates a ride in Land Rovers out to the Black and White Desert while they set up blanket walls, start a fire/feed you while you're drinking wine and gawking at the entire universe above for the night.

-Just added collagen powder in the diet about a month ago, digging so far, plus it's supposed to help me keep my youthful looks. :smiley:

Just like Vanderbilt ... who was so into the conspiracy, he sat out his rookie year, too.

Cynical people here.

Agreed. Everything with the UK basketball program is awesome and there is absolutely no reason for concern.

We have the finest basketball coach in the world and everything with Terrence Clarke appears completely legitimate.

UK ROCKS!

Sounds like Clarke’s people don’t like the draft slippage & decided he’s healthy and needs some clock or at the very least, buzz.


F him.

EXACTLY F HIM.

Plus I know for a fact the mfer has been practicing 120% for a good while now. He’s obviously staying in shape and “working on his craft”. Now he gets to just pop up and play tournament games? John Calipari is a fn clown. I cannot wait till Dontaie drops 50 on his stupid ***.

Dontaie Allen won’t be dropping 50 on anyone’s *** unless he goes back to a summer league in Pendleton County. I know this is a sore subject because he’s a Kentucky kid but the dude is statue with a ****** handle.

He can certainly improve and become a very nice role player but the last 5 weeks or so he looks like a mid major talent, which is fine but not nearly the player some of you all want him to be.

Iowa starts five white boys and I bet none of them averaged 40 in high school. Some coaches can use a skill like what Dontaie gives us and some can’t

Still fits a role. Spaces the court when you hit a rut or can’t score vs. zone. People overreacted in both directions on him. He’s basically Cam Mills at the same age.

Yes but he’s like 1-infinity from behind the arc since Feb 1 and he brings nothing else to the table. By his senior year if he’s Mills I’ll gladly take it.

I don’t put any stock into small sample shooting % when a guy doesn’t play for a game or two, and when he does get it, it’s for 2-3 minutes. Most shooters gotta play and get into a rhythm.

LOL, yes Kyle FN Korver and Dontaie Aleen where on the same trajectory. Allen has been on NBA GM's radars for years, years.
Korver college stats :

Soph - 14.6 PPG / 5.8 RPG / 2 APG / 2 steals per game 51% 2FG / 46% 3FG
Junior- 15.1 PPG / 5.5 RPG / 3.3 APG / 1.6 steals PG. 58% 2FG / 43% 3FG
Senior - 18 PPG / 6.4 RPG / 3.1 ASP / 1.5 steals per game. 45% 2FG / 48% 3FG

Something Korver had the Allen doesn't. He rebounds, shares the ball, and plays freaking defense. He looks like a damn race horse compared to Allen. Allen has ONE thing, he can SOMETIMES get hot from 3.
Take Allen's yearly total of assist (6), steals (6), and blocks (6), add them all together and he BARELY out numbers his turnovers on the year (17) So his assist, steals, block ratio to turnovers is 1/1. LOL, you MF'ers act like he is the next Larry Bird. No wonder Cal hates him (supposedly), UK fans act like he is Bird, and talk **** about other players who have no control over Allen's playing time. Hell he is not even a sniper shooter, I mean 30% 2FG and 38% 3FG shooter is not all world by any means. Factor in IF he does score 10-15, he will give up 20, and not add anything from other parts of his game. He doesn't pass, rebound, is very one dimensional on offense, or play defense. Not a real high demand for stationary jump shooters who gives you notta in other parts of the game.

You know who else is a loser scrub lead-footed statue with no handle or defense?


Kyle Korver. He played SEVENTEEN seasons in the NBA.


That's the difference between John and every single coach in the NBA. They can take role players and put them in positions to succeed, even if it's only for a few minutes a game.

You are dense. Are you seriously comparing Dontaie Allen to Kyle Korver?

Talent is doing some great consistently.

I'm comparing Dontaie Allen to a guy who basically has one awesome skill, and for a huge portion of his career was very sub par in just about every other category -- which didn't stop him from playing damn near 20 years in the league.

Take a step back from the Blue Kool-Aid and honestly list the players you’d actually like to come back outside of Jackson who’s definitely gone. I’m saying the players that you seriously see making progress enough to play at the high level we expect. I’m liking the transfer portal/free agency more every game I watch this year.

Should have added keep in mind what we already have signed for next year.

PTI, you’re comfortable thinking the only 2 guards we have can improve enough in a year to equal what we’re accustomed to?

Did you see what we had signed for *this* year? A #1 class with 3 5-stars and the top transfer in the country.

Fletcher and Ware are pretty expendable, but I would LOVE for every other player to come back. And yes, I think every single one would improve tremendously. Don’t be a dumbass.

You're right btodd. Who tf would want Boston and Clarke back? Mintz and Sarr need to go too.

Making some calls to my peeps at UPike so we can get Allen out too.

They all suck and a second year would just extend our misery.
