How far we have fallen

And the first one since Knox will be a guy who refused to play while reaping all the benefits of being a Kentucky basketball "player"(the loosest definition of player youll ever see)
Honestly the last 7 years have been one nut shot after another.
The people who think “everything is fine” and we are still the same UK that rolled through 2010-2015…..
You know the rest.

We’re still in the accelerating phase. We should crash this season. Be lucky to be .500
That’s my honest opinion.
That’s my honest opinion.
Seems his generational poverty project is defunct… he’s not focused on wins and losses.. no longer worried about the best day in UK basketball history. He’s truly hung it up while cashing in on his prior successes. He’s a fraud!
Ive wanted #9 every year since 2012. KY and CAL’s slide has me now hoping and praying for an SEC regular or tourney title and trying to win an NCAA Tourney game……….. Triple C is destroying KY Basketball and it is pretty dam embarrassing.
Top 10? Isn't the lottery what people usually go by?
Wasn't pj lottery?
SGA?
Bam?
8 in the lottery since 2016
This. +1000, I feel like we've taken more shots during this era. At least with Billy G i didn't expect much, but when Every year feels like 92' it gets weary.
Pretty soon we'll be sporting candy striped pants and selling popcorn boxes with pics from regular season wins over random ranked teams. 
Lol I thought you didn’t care about the draft. Quit bitching and try to enjoy your life
When did I say I didn't care about the draft? why are you pretending to know me?
Cal fangirls are very sensitive.It's best to ignore them.
Listen here you little girl, don't act like your some big wig Member since June 2019. Your Karma is strong as OJ Simpson little girl.
That record vs top 25 opponents since 2015 is brutal... Nothing elite about that.
WWW mattered .
Looking back maxey should have a been a fringe top 10 pick probably even a top ten pick
It’s getting close to Tubby Smith mid level eras. Calipari is supposed to be on another level.
The talent is better but results about the same. That’s coaching.

Wow....wonder who was elevated to a bigger role in recruiting/talent evaluation in '16??? Couldn't be a correlation at all right?
Now I will say the league and their stubborn arrogance has ignored a few guys Calipari tried to tell them would be better than they expected and they chose to ignore it. If you redrafted now, you think SGA and Tyrese Maxey aren't going higher? The dip in talent was my biggest criticism of the program and it's on Cal for letting a staff be weakened when it should've been revamped after '15 instead of assumed it would just continue to roll with anyone on the staff.

UK will be fine. We have 4 titles the past 63 years and counting. We have had tons of bad years and down years over that time and will have plenty more with the next coach. The titles will continue to be a rarity.
It's kind of neat watching Cal worship transform from a fetish to an actual cult.
It's actually pretty bizarre. The CCC Cheer Camp Crew can't even be objectively honest and muster even a single criticism about any one of obvious complaints about Cal. They honestly think he's infallible. Saw the EXACT same thing growing up here in Indy with IU fans and Bobby Knight. Eerily similar.
Pretty telling stat as to where recruiting is.
Another crazy one....
Between 1979 and 2009, 30 years we had 6 Top 10 picks and 2 National Championships.
Between 2010 and now, 13 years we've had 13 Top 10 picks and 1 National Championship.

I don't care at all about the draft. I care about UK basketball.
But...when it seems that Cal's stated goal is to get players drafted, then he's not been doing very well at that either lately.

There are 2 ways to get a player in the top 10. The first one is to recruit players that are already there. Anthony Davis could have played anywhere in college and went top 10. The other way is to be a great coach and help them develop into a top caliber player.
Cal is neither a great recruiter anymore nor a great coach anymore (if he ever was).

I've been here 12 years and I say he's right. So step off Darf.
Yes, Erin, your contempt for the fanbase is as pronounced as your dad's. But out of touch? LOL that's you and Cal. The fans know exactly what's going on with the team. Your dad apparently has never seen them.
When you are proving a point by providing statistics, you must only pull stats that support your point. If we had 10 players drafted in the Top10, then the goal posts move to "we've only had 0 players drafted in the Top5...my how we suck". And it is always stats "since 2015".
The recruiting has been 1 or 2 every year that Cal has been here until he started focusing on the portal. So...I will never understand the moaning about recruiting. The misses are what is so surprising...Skal, Boston, etc. Those are guys that everyone was recruiting but just didn't work out for some reason. I can't readily explain it.
Your mistake is you included 2010 to 2015. Those stats are now irrelevant.
He was both at some points. Hell we saw flashes of it this year when we nearly won at LSU and in a couple other games where we did not have Ty or Wheeler. He coached his butt a couple of times.
But like everything else with the program, it’s just become inconsistent. Need THAT Cal to show back up. The one that used his pride correctly.
If I count correctly, over that same period, only Duke has had more top ten draft picks, at a whopping 7, and they have precisely -0- national titles to show for it.
