Never heard Larry talk. He has a stutter? Sounds about right. Brings the whole package together.

Call me Billy Joe Wildcat but Hami is definitely not a Wildcat Friend Forever if he stays in the draft.

Not his fault cap didn't play him. We literally had no 3 man, played fn Briscoe there to our demise, and this is just stupid. Cal shouldve played him....

But Hami should have def not played if he was planning to go to draft, so whatever. This is another instance where cal did the right thing for the player, and I'm mad bc I'm a selfish mfer.

Glad he was able to use the UK facilities and practice time to improve and probably never play. GBB.

I think Cal really got used here. Obviously he'll spin it in a positive direction, and I'm assuming he knew the game plan all along, but the minimum expectation to receive the benefits of La Familia should at least be that you f'ing play for Kentucky at some point.
I'm willing to give a pass to Kanter because he was royally dicked over by the NCAA and I'm convinced he made Harrellson better.

Not sure even the biggest homer could spin something like this kid making someone better this year.

I actually think he broke Briscoe's spirit.

Makes me wonder if something shady was going on around Diallo and Cal agreed to let him come to UK and wanted to give the NCAA long enough to investigate it l, but Diallo had to agree to sit out as to not get UK the death penalty in case the NCAA found anything.

Just a thought.

I love Calipari, but we have to evaluate what the hell we are doing if Briscoe, Humphries, and Diallo all declare without doing a f***ing thing.

I like players first as a motto, but the University of Kentucky employs Calipari and that has to be the fiduciary duty.

Y'all are generally all over Cal's nuts for doing the right thing for the kid, understandably so from a mature and reasonable standpoint. So, what's so different about this? Cal did right by the kid. Amazing story, tbh.

Do we really want him back? If he even thought about using Kentucky as a free training facility on his way to the NBA, which is clearly his intent by declaring, that's enough to turn me irrevocably against him. Eff that effin' effer.

There's a little too much White Knight-ing from the media on Twitter right now. I believe in Players First as a philosophy, but we're not a charity and Cal isn't a social worker.

We're not ******** because we want the team to win. Let's not forget where the "Kentucky Effect" comes from, where all that money for the facilities, the TV ratings that get you on ESPN 30 times a year... It's all of us selfish ******** out here. The relationship between players and program needs to continue to be mutually beneficial.

Oh I want him to come back. For sure. I mean pretty much the entire roster left so we need someone that has been through at least half a season.
