think Skal could have been one but for some reason, he was made to be a back to the basket player here, think thats why were missing on so many of the top bigs lately, in todays game most want to play facing the basket.
Mattew Hurt visit cancelled??

They had to cut the refs pay to get players and it cost them
People really overstate that.
Anthony Davis can play stretch 4. He can also use his size to his advantage.
If all you can do is shoot—you’re not taking advantage of your size.
I don't think Cal is done recruiting for this year. Maybe Hurt is going to puke but Cal will have a great team for next season. I'm glad Cal is doing the recruiting !
Don’t know why anyone would be shocked by this. He’s not coming here. He will end up at puke or Kansas. I think with all Kansas is losing, that’s where he will go because he won’t play second fiddle to Carey. Puke next yr will have little to no shooters once again. K sold out nicely. I would love to see cal do what k used to do when it came to recruiting and getting guys to stay more than one yr.
Knowing Cal, if he thought the commitent of Sestina would adversely affect any recruitment he would of had hI'm remain silent. I think Cal sees him more of a 5 that can draw bigs out of the paint thus msking it easier to drive...we didnt have that type of player this season and saw how they packed the paint eliminatin driving lanes. Sestina will be a player at UK, he will be trying to get to the nba, he is a late bloomer and didn't take it seriously, now he is showing skill and can play!!! If he puts up 120 3's this upcoming season...
Baker and IQ will benefit having a player like nate joining us. Hurt is a pf in college imo, he is faster than I remember and hits all his shots...he is a baller. I want him to go to unc just not pUKe

Nods, I know. You CLOD never let a little thing like cheating deter you. So how much should we pay these top recruits? There a limit or is money no object. How about fringe benefits? Housing? Jobs? hookers? Any limit for you there?
UK/Cal invested a lot of time in the recruitment of Hurt because they liked his skill set and thought he could fit in. Like any player, he has some areas that need improvement but also think Brooks/Sestina combination offset that recruiting loss in terms of roster. Now general talk of being done for '19 class, I disagree. Think they are actively changing the roster to fit how they want to play moving forward. The offers to Omayuri and attention they are giving Maker are type of bigs I expect to see UK involved with. Like both players and fact UK has reached out in a big way. More hit first and aggressive type of players. Quick Twitch. Look like Cal/UK players, not guys who go to UK because they think they can automatically turn you into a UK type of player, if that makes any sense?
Jaden McDaniels is a no brainer. If he wants to come, you take him. Now will that happen? Who knows? I don't think he's a UK lean, but also don't think he's decided. This week will say a lot being around 3 UK commits and on same team. Should get a feel if it's possible or written off. He'd be pushed and his game would grow significantly under UK staff. Hope his camp sees that aspect.

Dude couldn’t get to a Final-4 with the last 2 teams he had. Had the most talent both years. But his recruiting hasn’t faltered. None. But fans want to believe ours faltered after the 2015 loss. As if recruits saw that, and said they weren’t coming here. You can’t fix stupid.
Oh god yes. He would easily start over Sestina. Sestina probably won't start with or without Hurt. You'll see Brooks at the 4 before you will Sestina. I like the Sestina pickup but let's not confuse him with a eventual 1st round pick. Sestina is an Isaac Humphries type of pickup. I do think Cal saw the writing on the wall as did most the rest of the college basketball world. We haven't had a realistic shot with Hurt from the beginning.
Hurt was going to get paid either way! KU or Duke just a different school!
I think the big question would be... how would he deliver the money? It couldn't be done without both posters giving away their identity. Unless someone could figure out how to exchange money without giving away identity, I don't see it happening.
Not at all. I highly doubt the guy had $15.00 to bet with, let alone $1,500. I am honestly not worried about rivals "rules". I am just getting some amusement.
Easy, make a check to cash and mail to a PO Box. Or buy a pre paid card and have them deposit the funds into the account electronically.
Very disappointing.
With the visit canceled, I now have zero hope of Hurt coming here.

Hasn't gotten them a title; just cock-blocked our chances. Bastards...
I haven’t had much hope since I learned months ago that Duke and Kansas were leading for him. I really like his game.
I seriously doubt we ever had a chance. Isn't his father a doctor with the Mayo Clinic? I doubt seriously he has dreams of being a one and done and certainly he does not have to fight generational poverty. Duke would be the perfect school for him. He will play for them multiple years and there will not be any pressure to leave early.
Another factor is the fact Duke and their fans are much more accepting of white players. A white player at UK will be ridiculed by a portion of the fan base and compared to Rex Chapman. Who needs that?

This, and fringe NBA talent leaving a season too soon. Ugh!
This board is funny , if he came here we would line up proclaiming him as the next Larry Bird ,... he goes to Kansas or Duke and " He's so slow he would never fit in Cal's system " He cant guard here at UK , He flat out sucks etc etc etc ... Or a real winner. " Poor man's K Wiltjer "
So, I guess daddy dearest is excited to start enjoying the fringe benefits of parenting a Duke basketball player. New house? No problem. New consulting job? Taken care of. And biased lapdogs in the media who never ask any probing questions about K or his cheating? Just perfect.
Nah, I won. I just didn't get paid.
Well, if it is in fact Duke, at least he saved the other coaches from expanding their carbon footprint.
In all seriousness, I would like your opinion on something. Do you think Cal favors black players over white ones? Just curious. I'm not saying Cal is racist because I don't think he is. But he could favor one over the other just like he would favor one type of offense over another, etc.

Winning means nothing if you don't get paid. File a claim in small claims court. You have all this evidence.
I think Cal favors the best players over other players. Cal just wants to win.
He would just claim mental incompetence on his part and easily be able to prove it. Then I'm out court cost as well.
Tell that to college athletes and amateurs. Unless of course they are one of Duke's.
