It was during the season not during the off season. Still bitching about the last season when no basketball is being played right now is ignorant. Plus Mr teacher its people not oeople just saying
Can you give us the full list of rules on how we have to post on Rupp Rafters please? You're doing a lot of whining and complaining right now.

So, we can ONLY complain sbout the season DURING the season? Is that right?

Can you prove this? Please do. You’re full of ****, just throwing darts hoping you're right. I have my hangups on Wheeler, but this is a message board and that's what this is for.

You have come out of nowhere and are trying to silence people you don't agree with. For that, you gan go FYS.

Now, prove the bolded part of your post.

You are a child, I mightve read all the negative **** you posted about wheeler, not like a player can get better or shoot better or worse. I've been a fan since I been 7 grew up when Delk, Ford,etc was playing our fan base has gotten worse over the years, I hope kids parents don't try to research kentucky fans and look at this board.

Post very infrequently but you have become that person who posts way too often with the same drivel. Kind of like someone putting an awful song on repeat. I know this is a message board and I’m tolerant of divergent opinions, but you are insufferable.

I see nothing wrong with being critical of Calipari and his performance (on and off the court), the players performance (on and off the court) and any future decisions made by the staff (for example...accepting a commitment from Wheeler).

Wheeler is a player with a lot of negatives. Certainly 14pts, 4 reb, 8a looks great but you have to dig deeper IMHO. His offensive rating was 96 and defensive rating was 104. Using these ratings means Georgia was a -8 points against all opponents with him on the floor, that's terrible. Part of this is because he averaged 5 To's a game, shot 20 something percent from 3 and only 54% on layups. While he averaged nearly 2 spg his subpar 104 defensive rating suggests he struggled in other areas. Don't blame it on Georgia's team because their overall team ratings surpassed Wheeler's on offense and defense.

Also, he has a low PER (player efficiency rating) and low BPM. The analytics suggest he was not as good as 14/4/8 suggests.

They aren't going to sag And there is a reason for that. I'll say this, I could put a great ball handling, non shooting, PG on the floor against you with 2 guys that can fill it up, and if you sag, I'll beat you by 50. It is the reason UK gave up back to back 3s against Miss St. As soon as you decide to sag, I'll have my PG throw it to a wing, and then go pick for him, with no help, that shooter is going to get wide open 3 after wide open 3. Which is what Miss St did. they sent a non-shooter to pick for a shooter, because UK sagged off the non-shooter, and there was no help to stop the wide open 3. The issue may be in making the puzzle pieces actually fit together. You have Washington, Grady, Fredrick and Allen to play on the wings. All those guys can really score the basketball and are good to great shooters. Probably makes more sense to add a player whose impact isn't actually scoring, since that is what these other guys are good at. While this is true, Wheeler's freshman year when he played with another star, Anthony Edwards, his stat line was a lot more efficient. He shot 47% overall, and 32% from 3, scored 9 points on 7 shots, while leading the team in assists (and turnovers) during his 27+ minutes per game of playing time. During that season, he had a 1.5 assists/turnover ratio, this year he led the SEC at 1.68. At UK, while his role may be a bit different, he will be playing against the same type of players he did at Georgia. That and Sarr not beign much of an inside presence on a teams that needed one were his biggest downfalls. I would expect Wheeler to be solid, but not a star. I do expect he will actually be better than Hagans, who was the PG for 2 straight top 10 teams at UK, 1 that lost in the Elite Eight, and another who had a chance to make a deep run.

Oh wow, you have been a fan for ages (eyeroll). Fact is, you're lying and exaggerating. Log off if you can’t handle the opinions of others.

Weird, some people get chastised for moving goal posts and flip flopping, somehow I suck because I've been saying the same things. Huh, interesting.

Deal with it.

kyjeff, can't say I always agree with you but you are so right here. This guy heavily criticizes anyone who doesn't share his point of view. Never even heard of this poster before but, suddenly, he has become an expert on telling peoe what their opinion should be on a message board. Thought we had freedom of expressing an opinion, even if you don't necessarily agree with it. Good discussion should take place, not someone criticizing like he does. Good grief!

When it's constantly negative, it's not a discussion after clarke passed away I figure people would go easier on kids, if wheeler wants to play hereand he commits here I don't understand bitching about the past. There is discussion and there is constantly being negative ukfan n NC and wildcats1st are examples

It’s been oddly quiet on Wheeler today. If he is delaying until Monday that sounds like KU is back in play. If Cats don’t get Wheeler I hope Alvarado or another veteran is still an option.

Lots of straw men being built on this topic. Concerns over a poor-shooting PG with the way the game is being played now are legit if you want a high-level team. If we had a PF that could step out that would help a ton. Wheeler with two bigs will be a spacing issue against good teams.

I am actually a big fan of Wheelers and think he would do well at UK, but my biggest worry is that he’ll end up starting WITH Washington. Then he decides to go with Brooks/Toppin at the 3 and Collins and Oscar in at the 4 and 5. Then we are no different than last year, except Wheeler over Askew.

Without the temptation of playing Washington at the 2, Brooks at the 3 or Collins at the 4, I think we have a great roster. A Wheeler commitment just makes me nervous that Cal will sacrifice the PT of Grady, Fredrick, and Allen to fit in the guys that are his more prototypical mold.

For all of you that are worried about him being little, I remember reading about a little guy name David who took down a giant. If he comes i am sure the staff will work with him and make him better.

If you want to hype up players fine.I'm sure you thought Askew would be good and Boston a star.Just don't be mad at people who are more realistic about ability.
I’m pretty sure most people thought Boston was going to be very good.

Ok bro, calling out that Wheeler shoots sub 30% from 3 and averages 4 TOs a game is not being “negative”.

Sounds like no decision until Monday. There is some OK State buzz, but probably still ends up at UK. Although when you have a delay, it makes you wonder.

Yeah, I know I come on a bit strong, but at least I'm consistent.
The subject is Hardy and Wheeler and all we're doing is giving our opinions on that issue, but this dude thinks he's the most important person here.

Lol all u post all day is how bad wheeler is cuz of 3 point shooting and turnovers. Yeah I would disrespect some of our fans over my team pretty simple concept, some in this thread is why this board has become crap to read. Majority of negative ppl repeat same **** time after u saying wheeler this wheeler that he hasn't played a game at kentucky and ill call negative posers out everyday. It's not negative to say he shot thar but to post it 800x a day sort of is.

Well, yeah you do. You’re like the person in the room who keeps repeating the same thing because they are insecure. It is weird.

As I said, I’m cool with differing opinions, but your incessant posting has put you in a corner. Not sure that was your intent, but you painted yourself that way.

As someone who has little insight to offer beyond your own opinions, some might proffer your constant posting is at a minimum irritating.

I don’t live on this forum so I will “deal with it”, as you say, like many who read here do.

This makes me hope even more that Wheeler doesn't come to UK. Now he is acting flaky on top of being a midget LMFAO. Bring back Mintz and wait to see if we can talk someone like Wright to join if he drops out of the draft.

Maybe Wheeler is waiting to see what Hardy is going to do who knows.
Not even gonna lie. This has been the exact same line of thinking for me as well. It makes sense. From what I’ve heard, Wheeler sounded like a sure fire lock for a commitment this weekend, at the latest. That was, of course, until today/yesterday.

Now, he did backpedal once a few days ago. Since then, though, things had picked back up again. Like I said earlier, by all accounts, he was supposed to commit this weekend. Very odd.
