Nah, this time it won’t be in our favor. Unfortunately.
I’m up in Haarms about it.Somewhere in the timeless drift, twitter is forever breaking with consensus thought from our "experts" and UK is about the land...

That happened.Jodie Meeks back for junior season, bank on it.
Man we lucked out with the Patterson deal with all coaching crap we had going on! I'm sure glad we got PP he was a player! Didn't he commit to Tubby so technically he played for 3 different coaches?Jai Lucas to UK. Patrick Patterson to Duke or Florida.
Yes. Patterson ended up being a HUGE get. Without him and Meeks we may have seen sub .500 basketball for a couple of years.Man we lucked out with the Patterson deal with all coaching crap we had going on!

McDaniels to Kentucky done deal.
Cade Cunningham done deal.

Nothing against our insiders, they do solid work. Sure they miss on a few. But I will never, ever spend one dollar on a premium subscription. That goes for HOB or ESPN Insider. Too many sources of sports information out there to justify a subscription. No one knows everything.
I rarely have solid sources, but I had a great source in the Murray recruitment who told me Memorial Day weekend (about a month before he committed), he was pretty sure Murray was going to UK or the NBA. That one did not come down to the last minute.
Jai Lucas to UK. Patrick Patterson to Duke or Florida.
Mintz, Clarke, Boston, Brooks, Jackson can be a very formidable 5. Cal just has to let them play like the 2017 team. first one to a 100 wins.
He was eligible for the draft. He chose UK over Oregon and the NBA. I talked to an assistant coach at Oregon (his wife is a UK grad too) who offered up info that he didn’t think they would get him at that point. He was right.Yeah I mean we now know he was solid to Kentucky because he played at Kentucky. You are also clearly remembering it wrong too because Murray wasn’t eligible for the 2015 NBA draft, and didn’t even commit to Kentucky until June anyway, so even if he was eligible he would’ve had to declare for the draft before June. Right before he committed the word was that he was going to Oregon and I remember everyone freaking out about an Oregon player saying Murray committed to Oregon.

A lot of them don't fade into the darkness, they start this crap of we didn't really want him anyway-the other school paid him-he is crazy for going somewhere else-he just ruined his career because he didn't pick the Cats-he wasn't that good anyway. You hear this over and over every year. This is a big reason that other fan bases hate Kentucky, it is called either arrogance or cockiness, and it makes these people look stupid.I don't know why you guys always do this to yourselves. Over the last 11 seasons, how many recruits were we not favored for? We lost 90% of them. But because we got a couple that people didn't think we'd get--you always cling to it and act as if the recruiting guys are stupid for picking against Calipari. The the player picks someone else--you shut up and fade into the darkness.
And then when the next high profile recruit is picking schools and they're predicted to go to Duke, you'll pop out of the shadows and say "LOL 'MEMBER WHEN THEY SAID JAMAAL MURRAY WOULD GO TO OREGUN?! KENTUCKY EATS FIRST!!!"
