no succeed no proceed

I thought that was the motto? We sure the *** didn't succeed unless you count giving UNC, DUKE, and UCONN a few championships. We sure succeeded with that.

Keep it up and I guarantee you somebody will proceed their *** down the road.

Alright, keep that attitude up and well be back to Vinny Zollo and GJ Villarino in no time.

Lol. These young men will be making millions. Not sure why you aren't used to this yet. But keep typing away in your mom's basement while snacking on pizza rolls. I'll keep enjoying the seasons.

Good article. Always impressed by the player's tribune pieces.

I understand being upset/sad when these guys announce. Never understood the "woohoo! Good luck! Another Cat in the league!!!" celebratory tone after we lose these guys.

Having said that, I completely understand why the guys who are lock first rounders go and wish the best for them going forward.

Well wish them luck, we didn't get a Final 4 out of him, players first isn't holding up a good deal for us. But we did for them as always $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ top 10 draft pick again all in one year.

Cal when we gonna get something for putting them first?

This can't be true. One and dones don't care about the school

BBN … y’all really took me in this year, and made me one of your own. And I honestly don’t even know if you realize how much that meant to me.

So when I say, Thank you, Big Blue Nation — know that it’s not just one of those things people say on their way out. Y’all really helped me through it, in a big way, and lent me your hand when I needed one. Y’all treated me like family. And I’ll consider y’all family for life.

We will eventually get another one with Cal. Calm down

Poor guy, you sound like you need a hug. Hang in there bud, it'll be ok.

Good luck to MM. I really enjoyed watching him play this year. One of the most exciting players to ever wear blue. I expect him to have a long and successful NBA career. Thanks for the good times Malik.

 

[ChicagoCat90]

I remember being so sad when they announced they were leaving. It broke my head when wall, Bledsoe and Cousins left. I had my hopes up to see a sophomore Knight in college. I almost cried when Lamb left, I thought he'd be a four year player that was one of those guys college basketball would
Remember for a long time. But now I just assume they all leave and it does bring any emotions out. It is what it is and with Cal we just have to accept this. I think with Cal's ego he wants to do what the Fab 5 couldn't. I think next year he may start 5 freshman and give it a shot.

 

[seccats04]

Woohoo we're number one in draft picks. This is the greatest day in UK basketball history [sick]

 

[JoeBeeHall]

I like Monk and I like that he CHOSE to play here .

 

[jwheat]

Can anyone honestly claim that their "basketball life" is going well today? Thanks for the Elite Eight, Monk and Fox.

 

[kyjeff1]

Holy cow, this is a total shock, how could I have ever prepared myself for such shocking news. I had no idea….. What are we gonna do now?

30+ wins, SEC Regular Season and Tournament Champs, a last second shot away from the Final Four, and in Monk's case, a season of really exciting basketball to watch. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at the NCAA for giving us terrible refs and a difficult bracket. But these kids don't owe you anything.

 

[School boy]

We are going to kiss Cal's players first rule and watch the ACC kings win another title next year.

 

[TheAnonymous13]

He will be outstanding. Wish him the best...

 

[Aike]

Haters gonna hate.

Posts like this are embarrassing. These kids played their asses off and were great representatives for our university. If you aren't going to wish them long, prosperous careers then just STFU.

Did I mention anywhere in my post that I wasn't wishing them to succeed? I actually thanked them for the elite eight. Does that mean I have to be thrilled that we lost to UNC and they won the title? Are you happy about it? Are you happy that we are losing our entire team? Are you happy that we are likely going to be decent at best next year?

These are the types of responses that really perplex me.

How are you so sure? Not discounting cal but the tournament gives uncertainty.

 

[*CatinIL*]

Good luck in the League young Man. Thanks for your time at UK.

 

[Shaudylo]

The Players Tribune letter he wrote was dope . Good luck in the NBA . Gonna miss the Fox and Monk backcourt

 

[Contracts & Wildcats]

These are the types of responses that really perplex me.

Why? I don't even know the poster but using context clues he/she's a 76ers fan. Is he/she not allowed to be excited about the possibility of Monk joining his/her's favorite NBA team?
