I think experience leads to better play.
Living in Nashville and having friends at both Brentwood Academy and Ensworth you are spot on. Dad is not who you want around your program. Honestly the kid peaked his freshman year and has gone backwards ever since
Pretty simple really. You aren't winning in today’s college basketball with a team full of high school players. Those days are over and even when they were a thing, it was still too much of a struggle most of the season, unless Cal gets a couple of transcendent kids.
Wallace is a point guard for his team. Considered a combo guard by some but runs point.
Have to wonder about a couple of those. Hopkins had his big game, then suddenly not a lick of notable PT since. Have to think that weighs on his psyche. Kinda feel the same about Collins as well.
I think he ends up at Illinois. Assistant Coach Tim Anderson was his lead recruiter at Depaul when he committed to them. He is now an assistant at Illinois.
The issue is, predicting who will be a good player.
A link? To that? You think there is going to be some kind of announcement that UK requested Clark look elsewhere? That would never happen.
This is true. I think basically everyone would love for him to stay but not much you can control. I said a few weeks ago that I would be happy with one of Hopkins and Collins back and I think that’s a pretty good view most fans should have going into the off-season.
True but Toppin will probably be here as well, might be a logjam at the 4 unless Cal sees Livingston as a 3
No more of a logjam than it is this year. Give me a sophomore Hopkins and let Livingston wait his turn on the bench. Nothing wrong with that, even though we all seem to think otherwise these days.
You can believe what you choose. Do a search on my comments all along and Skyy Clark. It's quite obvious that I knew a little bit more than media covering this recruitment. So you can link to anything you like, I stand by what I knew and things ended up as I was told they would. The only thing Kentucky Staff was surprised with was that Kenny had Skyy do a "break up" interview with KSR's guy. That was odd.
Ralphdaltonfan had it from the beginning. He has been spot on about what would happen with sky for more than a year. He’s right about Hopkins too.
He hinted at this even when his commitment to UK was "solid." I didn't like it then and was hoping we'd part ways sooner. This was easy to see coming from a mile away, yet some people didn't want to acknowledge it.
How was he between a rock and a hard place AT FLORIDA? He could have had a modicum of guts and told them to wait until they got back to Rupp.
The truth is he wasn't that impressive prior to the injury, either.
I'll give him a pass for that--tough injury and think he's done pretty well in that regard.
I don't know why in the world you would think it's so absurd for UK to move on from a guy whose lead recruiter was asked to leave town. It's not that uncommon, even. Nothing about that is ridiculous at all.That’s because it never happened.
Some of you all are ridiculous!
Yeah he's been really honest an open about how the injury has hurt his confidence some and confidence is everything til you get it all back. I asked my nephew about him as a player since they've played against him several times and his comment was "very, very, very good".
The interview read like Clark using the words the UK staff used to tell him it might be better for him to look elsewhere. Trying to make it look like his decision.
