No, what you did was not ribbing, you were talking smack like a child on his daddy's keyboard. I have no respect for idiots that do that.

[laughing] Smack talk on a message board once makes you hold a grudge against me but you can't remember the other posters involved? You are even talking smack right now "daddy's keyboard".

i have some jokes to throw at you but I won't because the biggest joke of all is you actually think what you are doing isn't childish. if you call someone else childish, at least rise above it yourself

You are clueless and I'm done with you.

why would I revoke scholarships?

I knew you wouldn't answer the question. Because all you do is pick out the 2% of things that have gone wrong as evidence that everything is wrong. It's the lowest common denominator argument made by people that are... The lowest common denominator.

I will ask it a different way – let's say you could go back in time and assuming Bolden pics Kentucky, you now get to go back and not offer scholarships to three of the six recruits we have coming in next year. Now is your chance to show us how smart you really are.

We have commitments from sex of the top 20 recruits next season and all six have a high likelihood of being one and done. Knowing how much you despise Calipari's recruitment of great players, I want to know which three players you will not offer scholarships to. And who are the three players you will sign in their place?

Again, I look forward to your response. But somehow I know your response will not actually be a response to the question. It will simply be a smart *** comment that avoids the topic at hand.

It's really easy to look back in time and tell us what you would do differently as evidence that you're so much smarter than Calipari. But I want to know ahead of the future – which three of our six players are you not going to sign? And who will you sign?

I think you have me confused with another poster. Have no idea where the hell you got this from. I don't like the players Cal gets? Why would I not like the players Cal gets? If I've said anything about players it's that Cal has a penchant for the "athlete" over the "basketball player". His philosophy is that he can turn an athlete into a basketball player. Devin Booker was a basketball player. Archie Goodwin was and athlete. Which would you rather have.

P.S. Cal should have won more than one title since he's been at UK. Is that what you wanted me to say? If Cal doesn't win another title while at UK he will have underachieved just like Dean Smith. Is that it? Yes, I stand by those statements. Deal with it. Youre welcome for my attention which you desperately want.

With such a talented roster? Sky is the limit. All 3 bigs in double figures, most talented backcourt in the country, Willis getting back to full strength. This is a talented talented team.

I think it boils down to a few things. The Cats have to be healthy, must get production from the bench, and 2 of the 4 bigs have to come to play every game. Poythress, Lee, Skal, and Humphries have to give the Cats something. March Madness is guard driven, but you have to get some help from your frontcourt. They can win it all, but it can't happen if it's just a two man show offensively.

The only thing I'm worried about and I love my cats is if our guards have a off night it's over and the front court don't step up.

This team is "starting to peak".
I saw where we have played only 4 gms now out of the 31 with everyone healthy.

Thats huge moving forward.

The emergence of Skal the last two games obviously adds another dimention to this team.

Willis getting back into peak form by the NCAAs will be huge.

I think in this down yr of College basketball this team has a realistic shot at the title.

No pun but yes need to see our bracket opponents but whoever they may be will have a tall order to stop our present play. Count on that. Cats are surely hungry now,

Our present play is fun to watch right now... Honestly the last few games have been fun to watch even though we lost to vandy and a&m we still played hard and still fought.. This team don't quit I like our chances at tournament time.

And as usual you forgot to mention a very, very young team. But keep setting up a Csl for your own delusional agenda. I just don't get how something like this makes you so miserable.

And I'll try one last time – what players would you not take from next year's class? I don't want to hear any more bitching from you about the one and done era at Kentucky. Of the six players we have coming in which three would you not accept? Clearly you know how to recruit better than this staff so I want to know now who you're not taking for next season? For the fifth time, anyone can look backwards and see what they would've done. I want to know ahead of time what your class would be for next year. Again, look forward to your no response.

And it cracks me up how many times I see you comment people are seeking you out for attention. Really? A poster on a Kentucky Board constantly bitching about Kentucky but everyone else is looking for attention?

You still slurping me? Dude I have no idea what this is all about in regard to what players I wouldn't take? This whole hypothetical makes no sense to me. I think you have me confused with one of the other dozen posters you are obsessed with because they don't share your passion for all things Calipari. You'll have to show me where I said that Cal doesn't recruit good players or something. I have no idea what kind of crazy scenario you have in your mind. It's amazing how important I have become to you.

You claim all the time that my opinions are stupid and ridiculous and crazy etc etc yet you consistently feel an overwhelming need to refute anything I say. Think about what that tells me. My points must have some merit otherwise why the need to come after me with such vigor? I own you still.

I'm not sure where the disconnect is. Actually I do – you are just not very bright. You constantly complain about cal prioritizing players getting to the league. You ***** obsessively about one and done players.

This is a really simple question – if getting one and done players to the NBA is so bad, I want to understand of next year's class who you would not take? Personally I'm excited about the prospects of that much talent coming in. But I'm also smart enough to understand those players probably will not be here for a sophomore season. So if it's so bad getting one and done players I want to know which three players you would not take. Stop bitching about the past and start giving some ideas about what you would do differently moving forward.

If it's so bad having players leave early what players would you not take next season? And what three players would you take in their place? This is the sixth time I've now asked you to give me your list but we all know you won't answer the question. It's just Easier just to ***** and moan about us not being undefeated and winning six championships.

The answer is simple, I've never said that getting one and done players to the NBA is bad. I have no problem with one and done. I have said that Cal gives a longer leash to his NBA bound kids. And that's absolutely true. You'd have to be a fool to not see that. They play through all their mistakes without fear of being yanked. It's his promise to them. His philosophy is to get the best kids, make getting them drafted the #1 priority and "hope" that they carry you to the promise land. You wish you had some leg to stand on here but you know this is true.

And as usual you forgot to mention a very, very young team. But keep setting up a Csl for your own delusional agenda. I just don't get how something like this makes you so miserable.

Evidently Vegas is forgetting to mention how young this team is too as they currently have us sitting with the 4th best odds to win the title. So, say again, here Cal sits on a ultra-talented team poised to make a run. This team has all the pieces, at least enough to make a final four according to Vegas, but what the hell do they know?

This is like taking candy from a baby. I still own you.
Next!

So if UK meets one of the 3 teams that have better odds to win and lose what will you say?
Cal has only lost to a lower seeded team 1 time since he's been here. That's a pretty good record.

Exactly. We're actually tied for fourth so according to Vegas if we lose in the regional finals we will have met their expectations. And you'll be OK with that right cut?

This coming from a guy that thinks one national championship and four final fours in six years is underachieving. Effing delusional.
