I can almost never get in to ask questions. Is there a setting to allow more user?

It's an app. You can use it to broadcast anything live. Just get people to friend you and they can watch.
Fuuuu.. I've been saving up for a tube, an elbow, and mirrors.. On the bright side, I can now blow my load at Minardi.

Briscoe leaning to coming back but if he is told he'll go in 1st round, he'll go.

Lee wants to go. Not sure where but we need him to come back.

Bolden wants UK but momma wants dUKe. So, momma likely wins unless something changes.

Rundown..

He said he still thinks Pitino probably leaves mid summer. We'll know June or July. Not definite, but he thinks he's gone.

Ulis is gone

Briscoe is 80-90% back.

Skal is gone and people that are hammering him on Instagram need a life.

He doesn't think Bolden comes to UK. That his mom is leaning Duke, but the kid is leaning to UK. But the UK people are not confident they get him.

Marcus Lee is on the fence on returning.

Nothing ground breaking

Ulis entering draft tomorrow.
Briscoe 80% + coming back
Lee wants to go, 50/50 depending on his feedback from the league.
Bolden likes UK, his mom likes Duke....you do the math
Some notes about how impressed he was talking with Drew Barker and his maturation.

Said Lee is looking for a resin to leave. Not unhappy per se, just kinda ready for something else.

Believes that Briscoe is 80-90% coming back as of now. If he works out and hears he's a first rounder then he will go. But MJ says he doesn't see that happening, so expects him back.

Marcus Lee is looking for a reason to leave. He might just go to the draft and just see what happens. Or he might explore grad transfer options.

He felt that Bolden was close to committing in the autumn, but didn't. Since then, he thinks the staff no longer feels great about Bolden. And he believes that whe the staff is not confident, they usually don't get the kid. Holden's mom wants Duke, but Bolden wants Kentucky. But he thinks mom will win out.

Said Derek Willis is planning on living in the gym all summer.

Any indication as to whether Kentucky would pursue another big man hard if they miss on Bolden?

Jarrett Allen would have probably committed, but we didn't know about our scholarship situation so couldn't recruit him too hard. Now, too many others are in on him, so he is probably off the table.

If Cal doesn't get Bolden, and if Lee leaves, Cal will probably go out and look for another big.


As for the UofL scandal, he said if you want to know who coach Mike is, there is only one guy on the staff named Mike. Still thinks Pitino and Ramsey will be gone before fall. He says he has so many people all over UofL now calling him with info every day.

If we don't get Bolden I would love to grab a 5th year transfer like the kid at Valpo. Since Drew is heading to Vandy if he decides to transfer it would be a great get.

If Lee leaves, Cal will probably look for someone else, but not clear who yet. Doubtful or unsure on the Turkish kid, and Allen may be off the table.

As for coaches, he said he doesn't expect Kenny Payne to go anywhere after all. Nothing right for him came open.

Barbee was actively looking, but didn't find anything.

So coaching staff should be the same.

Cal is very very excited to coach Brad. MJ doesn't expect Brad to play much, but will probably get thrown in a game early in the season. Reiterated how excited Cal is.

As for football, said Drew Barker seems to have grown up a bit...doesn't seem like a punk.

Had a player come up to them during the show and say, "Things are totally different this year."

Okay something not adding up here.

So bolden was ready to commit in the fall but we held him off. So does that mean momma bolden was okay with him coming here over Duke in the fall but not now?

Hmmmm.

I bet Bolden prefers Duke and they're just using the mom thing as an excuse for losing a kid to Duke.

I feel like every recruit we lose to another program it's always over something bs. I think the staff just puts this stuff out there to be honest for the sake of perception.

No. We didn't hold him off. He wanted to commit but didn't. The reason is unclear. May have been mom then. Or maybe he wanted to wait and 'build suspense' but his or his family's feelings changed in the process. MJ didn't say we held off on the commitment from Bolden

So...if Lee leaves and they can't get Bolden, Cal is going after another big. That tells me that Cal isn't happy with Wynard at all as a contributor

Thank you for the information. May as well go hard after Allen, he did favor Kentucky at one point, and Kentucky can sell him on competing against great players in practice and developing quickly.

If this stuff about the mom is true it's just because she wants to brag to people that her son went to school at Duke. Status

If we end up losing Lee and Skal and miss on Bolden we will have some holes. Fouls will become a huge issue. Gabriel will have to play the 4 more, Wynyard will have to be able to play, and Humphries will have to improve dramatically. Could be another year without a rim protector, unless SKJ steps up. Will be interesting to see how things play out. Hopefully Yurtseven somehow works out.

Yeah. That sounds right. MJ said the kid is young and so you don't want to give up on him. But MJ also said he doesn't yet see how Wynyard will play here. He said a few weeks back either on the show or a podcast that Wynyard leaving is a possibility.

But I digress...yeah, if he's going for another big then Wynyard is a visually not very good and they must not think he's going to improve enough over the summer to be a contributer.

Said all the NBA cats are planning on doing a combine of sorts in Lex this summer for a week.

Could double as a nice recruiting tool.

His comments on the '96 cats were interesting. Said they feel slighted by Cal because he's always promoting his guys. Also said Derek Anderson burned a bridge with his comments after the F4 loss last season, and he's supposedly the 'voice' of the group.

Guessing that's why they weren't recognized this past season in Rupp, but who knows for sure. I'm just speculating.

He said he thought the Yurtseven buzz was more of an Internet rumor than anything substantiated. He didn't say he's ruled out, but just doesn't know how much interest Cal has for him.
