Frank Ramsey and Cliff Hagan come to mind.

Charles Barkley isn't even the greatest player from the state of Alabama mentioned in this thread!

Nobody contributed to the demise of college basketball more than Barkley. As a veteran pro, he more than anyone led the whining and bitching about newly drafted players being able to negotiate contracts as large as some top league veteran players. NBA GM's were happy to appease with the rookie salary cap, which immediately led to the culture of players leaving college very early or skipping college completely. Before this was the era when top players stayed in college for multiple playing seasons. A time when even the top recruits would have to spend the majority of their freshman seasons watching from the bench. Barkley, the Auburn socialist, hated wealth being realized by anyone other than who HE approved of, made it possible for league owners to save millions upon millions on base labor, and become even more rich. It is people EXACTLY like him who know precisely how to separate the wealth between labor and ownership as much as absolutely possible. And before replying with an emotional snip that people playing basketball for millions do not count in the consideration of labor vs. employer, just remember the common ingredient of how Barkley's envy for new labor's wealth was appeased by league management, and they haven't gone back on it since. Just pisses me off to listen to that fat *** comment during games, when he finally gets around to discussing the issue of, for example, one and done, and how he of all people will blame individuals who want to go to the league and work for the restricted money that Barkley campaigned for decades ago. Thanks for the high NBA attrition rate . . . Chuck.

I love Barkley always been a fan of his. If he was here he would call the auburn poster “turrible” and lecture him about comparing UK to his program.

Lol, Bama ain’t ****. We own the state in football, and the SEC in hoops.

If Bruce had UK players, you guys win by 40+. The coaching mismatch in this contest is frightening

Pretty simple really. No way handsome young gentlemen like BOOGIE and Bledsoe would leave the great State of Alabama unless they were made an offer they couldn't refuse...

The greatest want to play for the best that is why Bama football and Ky basketball get them

1984: Kentucky beats Charles Barkley-led Auburn

In a low-scoring affair with 20 lead changes, Kentucky showed that it had prepared to take on Charles Barkley, the "Round Mound of Rebound" himself. Kenny Walker hit a shot at the buzzer to seal the Wildcats' 51-49 victory over Auburn. Barkley slumped to the floor and sat there for a couple of minutes. This would be the future Hall of Famer's final game against an SEC opponent.

Well what i will say would happen is this.

UK will still be a Blueblood, still lead the NCAA in all times wins, still be a major player every year to win it all.

Auburn on the other hand, while Pearl does have a nice little squad down there and is having a very good year, DO NOT expect that every year. Sorry guys, enjoy it, see you again in about 7-8 years.






Hopefully.

Bruce Pearl can coach...he can also cheat, but he can coach.

Maybe I'm just an ill informed AUBURN fan, but didn't the great, morally sound John Calipari have to vacate Final 4 appearances at the two institutions where he coached prior to arriving in Lexington?

Sounds like your description of Bruce would be an accurate description of the man leading your team as well...

I see the names of two former players... One ended his carer as an NBA Hall of Famer and the other ended his career with the Isuzu Motors Lynx Gigacats in Japan. Look deeper, you will see the truth.

John Calipari didn't have to do ****. He wasn't implicated in either. As a matter of fact, he received a letter from the NCAA stating the same. Now, how about your boy Brucie?

He fed some starving children and then spent a few years on ESPN before resurrecting his career on The Plains... he's doing well, thanks for asking.

His name has not been in any indictment, but obviously he’s had some negative press as a result.

So basically the same as John Calipari, his name was cleared by the NCAA in both Vacated seasons? He never got a show cause either

Absolutely. The FBI indictment does not target Bruce. Unless and until further evidence is discovered, Bruce is in the clear. That being said, it is definitely a bad look. The NCAA has yet to speak its mind as well, so we’ll see how they choose to interpret their rules later down the road.
