I think Cal's good on X's and O's, gang.

 

[UKwizard]

Huge fan of this song and video

 

[BBdK]

Tony Barbee is only slightly ahead of Hobby & Rigot for me - I HATE that dude.

He's more about Jimmies and Joes.

- Robinson won't be eligible this year. You can't start taking classes and then just go play for someone else- release or not.

- Teflon Self- remarkable, really.

- wcc breakdown:

Green- tough, savvy, cocky "up east" pure PG who can knock down an open 3

Diallo- athletic freak wing who plays hard and attacks the rim, shot will be an issue

Knox- long wing, great athlete, special potential offensively, good outside shot

Washington- hardnosed tweener PF who hits the glass and is skilled offensively

Vanderbilt- clean-it-and-lead-the-break type combo forward, game is a Jones/Gilchrist mold, great handle, great passer, great rebounder, shaky J

Richards- huge 5 man with excellent athletic ability, tad raw on offense, Kenny will help him a lot

Alexander- 6'6" PG, I know less about his game than anyone

Baker- pure shooter, 6'4", knows how to play

 

[Geese Feeder]

Is Gabriel still on this team?

Gonna be odd figuring out the various roles at forward. I find it hard to believe our best lineup wouldn't include Washington, Vanderbilt, and Knox flying around, making plays. That's a devastating trio, regardless 'where' you put them on the court.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

Robinson could play with an NCAA waiver I believe. It would be up to them to make an exception in his case depending on what happened at WKU

 

[UKwizard]

Its make or break for Darkness. He either figures it out and go nuts or turns into Marcus Pee.

 

[VernHatton52]

-Benny and the Jets, one of the most creative songs of all time.

-If Cal needs help with X's and Os at this point then the critics are right. He's just a recruiter. He knows what he's doing. Like when Michael seemingly demoted Tom Hagan in G1 only to reveal in G2 why he did so.... Tom was the only one he could truly trust.

-2 great ESPN bball docs on the other night, Morningside 5 and Baltimore Boys. Fantastic viewings. That Dunbar team was STACKED!

Save this post Chase.

We have two skilled (but raw) 6-9+ 5 stars (both of whom started basketball late) coming back as sophs, and 90% of you think they truly SUCK ***, and always will, simply b/c they weren't lotto picks as 18 year old freshman.

ok guess you didnt read the recent article in the India Times which had UK as a bubble team this year

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Gabriel is still on the team. I think his role this year will be to frustratingly waste his athleticism, and just hover around the 3-point line waiting to brick an open long jumper.

 

[Hank Camacho]

I think that Diallo, Knox, and Washington are going to be on the floor as much as possible and Cal will just fill in around them.

It wouldn't surprise me if by the end of the year Green and Shai are interchangeable and Diallo is Cal's "lead" guard, especially if Vanderbilt can be a playmaker on offense.

Also, "POSITIONLESS! GET THIS FOLKS, WE DON'T EVEN WORRY ABOUT POSITIONS WE JUST RECRUIT... ARE YOU LISTENING... BASKETBALL PLAYERS!" is going to be up there with pooping ice cream and Pikeville to Paducah on Cal-isms.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Tiger missed another major.
Phil is 7 shots back of the projected cut.

Man, these guys are going to be competing for majors for years and years to come.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

FOLKS WE MAY START THREE PLAYERS ARE YOU KIDDING ME I'M NOT EVEN SURE WE'RE GONNA USE A ROUND BALL THIS YEAR SHAPELESS BASKETBALL IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BALL ITS ABOUT YOUR BROTHERS AND THE NEBULOUS VOID TO WHICH WE ALL RETURN SOMEDAY GOOOOOOO GO GO GOOOOO

 

[wcc31]

- Can't even put Gabriel and SKJ's frosh campaigns in the same sentence. As much as he folded down the stretch, WG showed some bigtime flashes.

- Knox is going to be a stud. Love these dudes whose fathers were pro athletes. Seems they always perform to billing- Josh Carrier being the greatest example of this.

- Pumped for Baltimore Boys- ESPN tried to sneak that one in there.

- Lass was bitching about our outrageous cable bill considering 90% of our viewing these days is Netflix/Hulu...and she's logically correct (for once- yay sexism!). But what am I going to do? It's completely necessary for a sports fan. Am I really going to not have Gameday available on Saturday mornings? Hell no.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Barbee is inching close to David Hobbs status for me as well. This is something I thought would never be possible for any other assistant to achieve.

 

[Hank Camacho]

If I'm buying stock in next year's production, I'm putting my money on SKJ and not Gabriel.

 

[wcc31]

[laughing] Check out Facebook to see how well the core of GYERO has aged in 10 years.

I'm not sure how David Hobbs could be over Rigot or Reggie Hanson. Aren't those two the gold standard?

 

[SAECATFAN]

Richie's "Hobbsy" disdain is well noted. Sometimes I miss his Tubby impression, honestly.

 

[wcc31]

What's this Dr. Kearney story about?

 

[jwheat]

See... WTF is this?

Because he can play an interchangeable guard position he's automatically responsible for guarding the other team's "two"? This linear thinking is so BJW and drives me insane.

Good grief.

Who is guarding devonte graham when finally is on the bench with two fouls and you put Knox in as the 2? I hope he can guard every position on the floor and I think he will do just fine guarding people his size or maybe even a little smaller. Can Vanderbilt guard a 2? Can PJ?

It's not, but if you switch to internet cable BBdK will make fun of you , so it might as well be.

 

[BBdK]

I won't make fun of you, it just confirms you're a sports loser.

Most of you already are so not that big of a deal imo.

 

[TriangleUKCat]

Tubby Smith never realized that when he hired Scott Rigot, he actually hired a really, really large ferret. Because he is Tubby Smith.

 

[joeyrupption]

Hold on to cable for a bit, until ESPN streaming comes out next year.

Disney is pulling out of Netflix and will offer Disney and ESPN streaming services using the tech from the old MLB advanced media streaming company they just bought for 1.58 billion.

PS. You're all welcome. Leading the charge of cord cutting was not a popular decision back in 2007. But I PERSISTED. Pioneers end up with arrows in their back. Enjoy.

Oh, ****!

Disney movies won't be available on Netflix anymore???

Team Turmoil year we lost to Bama in Rupp. Seeing that idiot fool David Hobbs on our sideline trying to coach our players while we lost to Mark friggin Gottfried on our home court enraged me.

 

[BBdK]

I actually liked that game.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

The best in game experience Tubby redass moment I ever witnessed was 73 & TMFH's dad at the Florida game in Rupp in 07. Gameday game. Tubby's last year and Florida basically toyed with us for 40 minutes.

73 & Sr TMFH were sitting next to each other and I was for certain the blue coats were going to make there way down. There was so much buildup for that game. I don't even know if redass describes with justice how irritated they became during the course of that game.

 

[wcc31]

'04 UAB was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

The Rondo **** in '06 completed my turn. No coming back from that.

 

[Century Cat]

05 Michigan State was when I finally realized it wasn't going to happen under Tubby.

I had been a staunch Tubby defender, but after that year, I couldn't do it any more.

My how things can change in a short 12-13 years.

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

I also remember some ****** things.

 

[BBdK]

Love talking about Tubby & those squads.

Love talking about Tubby & those squads.

Meh. We're far enough away. Not like anyone brought up Wisconsin.
