Lively Decision next week!
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
Daffy is gonna have to borrow some of kermit’s hand cream
Still want both
Not trying to put the cart before the horse...well maybe a little...IF Lively commits this class may very well be Cal's best. Then you have '23 with Wagner/Shep.
We will be good this year, great, I dunno...maybe.
Could be a hell of a 3 year run for certain.

A lot like Evan Mobley. A step down overall but a step down is still a very good lotto OAD player
I'm not so sure he's a step down from Mobley. In some ways, I think he's a step up.
Cal and crew are baddd men. And because I live in Louisville, I want to remind everyone that while we're watching this insane class ball at UK, Louisville will be sitting at home more than likely banned from the tourney for multiple years.
He reminds me of a freshman Sam Bowie more than WCS. Never seen any low post moves yet but outside shooting, passing, rebounding, shot blocking, floor running etc. are similar.
With Flippancake already committed to Puke, I would be very surprised if he went that direction.
No one else wants to? That's fine I'll do it lol.
@ralphdaltonfan have you heard anything by chance? Thank you for everything you share here and you keep it classy.

I wish some of you wouldn't post like it's definitely Kentucky until it's definitely Kentucky by his announcement. However, I don't even understand someone like him even considering Duke vs. Kentucky for next year. Really? You are a top talent, want to develop your game to perhaps be the number one pick. Hmmm choose between a Hall of Fame experienced coach like Cal, or Assistant Coach, whoops I mean a first time head coach Jon Scheyer.
Hot take:
Sharpe and Livingston commitments made everyone take notice. Cal got the boys back together and it’s back to being the “not %#?!ing around crew.” But this Lively commitment, with it being “UK or Duke” at the front and center, is symbolic of the pendulum having swung back Kentucky’s way. Duke has overtaken Kentucky as the “it” program over the past 5 years. This might be the sign that it’s flipped back.
too dramatic?

All signs point to UK! This is tremendous news!! FAAAARRRRR Cal though!
Same. Always assumed it'd be 2 years though but who knows. Obliviously we still gotta play the games, but I love that UK seems to be getting that mojo back when our rival is getting their long awaited punishment.
Never know..you could wake up one morning and there he is.
Certainly not to that degree yet. And I don’t know if he’s quite the freakish athlete Davis is. But that’s kinda what his game looks like, yeah.
I don't see the Anthony Davis comparison at all.
But I WILL SAY that I think Lively could become what we THOUGHT Skal was going to be for us.....and that's good enough for me.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope ….” 1 Peter 1:3
100% correct. Lively takes this class to a level that I honestly didn’t think we had a chance to get to.
Nobody wants to say it…… but, he’s like a taller Anthony Davis (at least on offense).
Must have told him “you or Bona, whoever commits first gets it.”
Clearly, this looks like Kentucky but I don’t understand why saying “commit now or we take Bona” is gonna push Lively into moving his decision up, IF he was on the fence
I would think that he has the mindset that he’s going to be the #1 post player anywhere he goes so minutes aren’t going to be an issue.
So this signals to me that if he picks UK, he’s been ours for some time and Cal just wanted to get it over with.

I don’t see that, maybe defense. Dribbling is a big part of an offensive skill set and he’s not on that level. AD could handle the ball like most guards because of how quickly he went from 6”2 or whatever to almost 7 feet.
Looks like it may have actually been on the 9th. Saw this from last week:
Schools that will visit 2022 @dereckl41 this week at @Westtownhoops
Thursday: Kentucky and Penn State Friday: Michigan Saturday: Duke
The Adem Bona and UK recruitment seems like the most likely scenario that is significantly ramping up the timing. If its Duke, you would have to think they would have told him to hold off for a while to see how we play our cards. Right?
