Cade could have been fine picking OKST and I think UK fans would have been fine with it if not for the trolling childish BS. Having Cal cancel a fundraiser to fly down is one thing, but doing it out of nowhere right before we are about to play #1 and playing the Drake song that says I rock Kentucky blue in the background showed his ***. Sure he's a kid, but there are plenty of kids that have resect at that age. I thought it made him and his family look bad. He came off like a classless asshat. It really wasn't as great a troll job as it could have been with some build up because it was like ok and then we had a big exciting game to turn our focus to.
At this point, Cal is trying not to be a hat on the table but Cade got him. I assume by flat out lying and manipulating. I bet Cal will become even tougher now after moving on from Todd, Green, and Christopher this year. Had Cade gone to Dook or UNC it would have been like dam this really sucks. Now we have to deal with that on our way to a title next year, but he's going to Stillwater LOL. In the end, after having a day to think about it it's just Next and UK isn't for everyone. He will be no more than the next Trae Young trying to carry a bad team on his back in a pretty good conference. I would assume with who is left and who has OKST on their list OKST will have to fight really hard to avoid the NIT. Cade also can probably kiss #1 in the draft goodbye in such a great class that will be playing with other stars that make them look good. While he will have to do it on his own and at best with some other 4 star Freshman.
Even though I don't think they will do it I would love to get OKST in Rupp next year for the Big 12/SEC Challenge since KU will probably be down and we are playing TT this year. At least he could experience Rupp once although I doubt he would enjoy it.
Time to turn our focus to some bigs. It would be nice to land Jackson as a start and then maybe a top 10-15 guy. If not I really hope we continue the trend of Grad Transfers like RT and Sestina.
