If you watched the announcement with Jamal and his dad, looked pretty "special" to me. Come on folks. This type of marketing is part of why we get these high profile recruits.
This is ridiculous. It's BS and mishandled on UK's part calling this a special announcement to get fans interested. This isn't a special announcement. At this part it's no more than a common announcement around here.
Fans did not need nor want a presser just to hear Jamal say he's leaving. This type of junk is wearing extremely thin on me. If you're bringing home titles then have a press conference to announce you're going pro while doing a naked backflip for all I care. But when you can't even beat Indiana and make a sweet 16 then you haven't earned it, especially after one year. Now, if Alex had one just to state how he's enjoyed his time and the fans here plus he's leaving it would be good but Jamal isn't Alex. I mean everyone in the entire world knew he was leaving. Also like I said after the IU loss when people were saying he loved UK so much and that he might possibly come back, give him a week or so and those tears will be dried up and all he'll see is those dollar signs.
I just can't believe that UK called for a presser and stated its a "Special Announcement" for something we all knew was happening plus happens every single year. Very misleading. I think most fans would take special announcement as being something good for the school or team.
Murray's goodbye presser. Canada spoiled it early, just like Canada spoils everything.

That Jackass does not deserve to cheer for UK. He makes this fan base look bad. Dude has the emotional stability of a 12 year old girl. He thinks UK owes him something. I absolutely loathe fans like him.Wow Zaytoven, let's go kick the sht out of some puppies...you in bro?
