Shaedon Sharpe sets commitment date
- Thread starter jrpross_rivals
- Start date
you can say that about any recruit in the country. your really reaching with that take.
I don’t recall Cal saying he could no longer land top 5 talent. Particularly considering Boston was ranked 5th nationally by Rivals.
I also don't recall too many of those top 5 guys playing in many final fours or winning championships in that span either. That's just further proof recruiting well doesn't always equate to winning.
Every fan should celebrate if we are winning. That's kinda of what they do!
@cathouse where you at? You stated "He aint coming, Write it down." Well I wrote it down...LOL...
Why do you think he fired his top 2 recruiting guys last season?
I dont't recall him firing his top recruiters when we were getting Wall, Cousins, Knight, Jones, Davis, Gilchrist, Noel, Randle, Twins, Towns, etc....in consecutive years.

Sharpe is an unreal talent and even harder worker. Happy to see his work paid off and he's being recognized for what he put into his game, and this is one bad MF'er. He's a special talent. This would be the most talented player UK has signed in years.
There's only one kid ranked number one in their class. I don't see many of those kids going to college. I hope I'm wrong, and it was just a thought. I personally don't think it's a reach at all. Going forward I don't see many of the top three kids in each class going the college route, unless the NIL deals get very lucrative.
can never be too careful. I might wait until he retires and joins the coaching staff.
It’s a fair and realistic concern in today’s recruiting environment
What did I dodge? You said something that was factually inaccurate. He was hired to be the lead recruiter. He was also promoted to full-time assistant last year, before the season even started.
Great. Haven't watched him in a full game setting, but sounds like he has the hops for it.
I've never met a Cal first fan...that is the silly thing that there are people delusional enough to think they exist.
Matt Jones is saying it is a done deal. He usually doesn't say that, even if he knows. Is it that much of a lock?
Ha ha ha...move those goalposts...this THREAD is about recruiting. Jeez you're so blind in the forest for the trees.
...and you circle back to last season's 9-16 mark. Continue, please.
Eh. Remember when Jaden Hardy was a UK lock and went G League? Some of us can spot patterns or read the seams on the fastball. Others of us just yell "EEYORE!" because 'muh feelz' or something.
Note the bolded part. This is known as a straw man. Cal doesn't have to SAY that, him firing his recruiters is a SOLID IMPLICATION.
What goal posts were moved?
Do you normally resolve to ad hominem attacks when you lack substance?
You mean the same coaches that had literally jusr landed a top 5 player in Boston?
What does going 9-16 have to do with recruiting or top 5 guys?
1. You shifted the argument from recruiting to wins and losses.What goal posts were moved?

2. I thought it was about wins and losses, I believe you are confused. That's probably why you're deflecting.
3. You are the one who tried to conflate winning and recruiting, maybe you should answer that question yourself.
aren't recruiting & wins/losses related
Either the recruits are over rated or if not, the coaches can't coach
last year was a combination of both

I think it’s pretty strange to say that the coaching in just one particular year was bad, when there are 11 other years that would prove that to be incorrect. Would it not make more sense that the players that we had were a combination of overrated and didn’t get hardly any practice time? Maybe too much logic.
I mean none of my posts include mention of our wins and losses, particularly not 9-16, but I guess if you say so...
I think maybe your aggravation and anger has led to some confusion or misinterpretations.

It's a fair point, and there have been multiple threads debating that particular topic season by season. Would 2013 be considered a bad coaching season? Would 2014 be a coaching overachievement?
Edit: Last year there were obvious indicators of questionable coaching decisions, most apparently the ones were certain players saw significant undeserved floor time because Cal didn't want to hurt their feelings. That is definitely a coaching issue.

It would be nice to get back to signing multiple top ten guys, again. Sharpe and Wallace would be a hell of a backcourt. Wallace is better than some are thinking. Tremendous defender for his age. Rebounds, does the dirty work.
I thought the goal was to move away from the one and done; drafts night is all that matters; their young and it's just potential at this point model and move to something more sustainable, with more experienced players that we actually get the benefit of seeing develop...
Why can't you have both? You need both to win at the highest levels.
How many Championships or FF's has Calipari been to with a Baylor type roster?
