If you read this board, you’d know all our players are terrible and they shouldn’t return. But, also the reason we’re so bad is we don’t get guys to return.
This is the real issue- It Can Be Fixed

I agree. I don't know what the exact change needs to be. If it's in how we talk to the guys when they're here, how we talk to guys when we recruit them, or if it's in how we choose players (like not taking guys who are clearly not going to reach their potential in 1 or 2 years but are still deadset on going pro asap - those guys are detrimental to the program). Guys who come here and ball are going to go pro, that's just reality. Get a guy like Herro that nobody thinks is 1 and done and he performs at the level he did, yeah dude's gonna go. But we need to stop losing guys like Briscoe, Hagans, EJ, Baker, Juzang.
30-some years ago the private university where I was teaching had a retention problem among freshmen from fall to spring semesters. We as a faculty made a concerted effort to help freshmen find a reason to stay. Our rationale was that it is easier and more financially viable to recruit the students you already have. This is where a focus needs to be without neglecting new player recruitment. Even a 50% retention rate would be better than what we have experienced over the last few years.
This is as simple as looking at trends. This board is big into "trending down" well the proof is in the pudding. If Cal returns a good portion of his scoring we usually have great seasons.
But Pat Riley said players from UK are the most prepared for the NBA.
If we return-
Mintz, Brooks, Allen, Askew, Ware, Toppin, Fletcher it equates to 51% of our scoring since 2014-2015 and 4th most in Cal era.

Cal is paid so much because he suppose to be the best coach in basketball he’s not even top 10
you were flexing how you were using a VPN and/or your neighbors wifi connection. You think you’re unfindable? LOL
If you don't have a pg you had better slow it down. Or get boat raced every game
Lead, every VPN provider in the world will respond to a request to turn over their logs about a specified user. I really hope you arent using a free VPN as they typically only exist to harvest browsing information and other little goodies.
I looked up some stats on sports reference yesterday:
Out of all players who have attempted 200 shots in division 1, Boston is 171st out of 177 in FG%.
Among players with 10 minutes per game and at least 5 games played, Brandon Boston is #2641 out of 3143 in FG%
I think his point is none of those things will get much better with Cal at the helm.
When you show up with a documentary crew, you ain't coming back for a 2nd year. I still cannot believe Cal allowed this to happen.
The issue is what is has been for years. When players return who were big contributors the year before, it usually leads to a good or great year.
The problem is, Cal has fermented a culture of come here and the NBA is what you'll get and get it faster than anywhere else. Kids get questioned on why they are returning. Think about that. Why are you still here?
Until Cal stops that mentality, UK will continues on it's current path.

No. Nothing wrong with having one or two OAD players. The point is, you can't have 6-8 every year and think you're going to have cohesion on the team.
Hagans, EJ, and others left because of the culture cal has created at UK. It's the systemic failure of the way things are at UK right now.
Nobody felt Wall, cousins, Davis, Towns, etc were wrong for leaving.
It's the ones I mentioned that create the problem. Teague should have stayed. Young should have stayed. And so on.

Bogus analysis. Guys can’t shoot and no one can take their man off the dribble. No amount of bonding or getting acclimated will change that.

50% of one of the poorest scoring teams in UK history. Still maybe better than nothing.
We didn't slow down with Fox. That team could score. SGA, Ulis, and Hagan's are pretty good college PG's. This year we don't have one. We don't get a DeAron Fox every year.
Have you noticed how obsessed this dude is with my balls? He talks about me regrowing them...does he think I got em cut off by a woodchopper or something? There's a pretty vast difference in infertility and having an empty sack. Lol.
no **** thanks for proving my point that tor makes you untraceable.
nobody calls it the "dark web" its called the deep web lmfao.
what an idiot... Also, im aware what you are doing is not illegal I was simply using that as a hypothetical. How may accounts do you have? are you running a botnet to simply have an unlimited amount of accounts? or are you just manually creating emails?
vpns are traceable tor isnt........I havent signed up for rivals in a year I dont remember if you dont need an email or not lololo. I gotta give it you, youre a dedicated troll lead.
I just gotta give you another round of applause for your trolling. First it was the poop porn, then you got bill withers banned, then you went on a triade in the politics thread and now youre on two accounts a day. dedication son!
I said if you don't have a pg , you had better slow it down.
We def don't have one this season and he's slowed the game down trying to win with defense
good troll thats for sure...if only they employed that..............
Not really. Those offenses weren't anywhere near as slow as this season. Those pg could work an offense and get to the basket , get the ball where it needed to go. Really didn't matter.
And then you are completely missing the major problem that refs hate Cal and he's earned them hating him. want to win another title... its not going to be with cal , I guarantee it
then the offense......... cal doesnt know offense...... he's always relied on NBA star level talent to carry his dinosaur pathetic offense to wins. gotta get some offensive minds on the staff and let them run a modern offense.
and then recruiting...... cal builds bad shooting teams ........and clogs the lane with 2 and sometimes 3 bigs . And then also recruits guys that protect draft stock and even diallo wanted to be a none and done.

Lmaooooo this is lame AF man. You don’t think it’s weird to continue to make new accounts just to fight with people and pretend you have sex with their wives?
I’m going out on a limb here and guessing:
You are single/lonely and lacking physical intimacy and companionship
You are not physically attractive which has always bothered you deep down. You may not be grotesque ugly (but maybe) but you’re simply unattractive and you know it.
Not sure about that. It would be better. These guys still can't shoot it though. Jackson ans Sarr struggle to score in the post. Still have lots of careless turnovers.
True, but we would have someone to break down defenses and shots would likely be much easier/open. Half the problem now is we shoot a ton of contested shots.
