We have more than 4 OVs available man lolWhitney blew up too quickly. Writing was on the wall he was going to take what he could get. Let’s get Shannon soon. Offer OV’s to Cockburn, Guerrier, Tshiebwe, and save one for an emergency (Liddell if we make his final four).
This is really discouraging.
Well the 6 Pack and bromley are probably the two nicest dorms to live in on campus and I am pretty sure they give athletes the nicest possible housing. If they threw our basketball players in ISR, PAR, or FAR, I would 100% understand why we suck at recruiting.
I don't think we should just blindly accept that blue bloods are the best option for everybody. Illinois is a great opportunity. The problem is when folks on here blindly accept the opposite, with a "why would anyone want to go to Kentucky?" attitude.
As would Illinois. We'd take him any year he wanted to come.IF he wanted to go to College in 18, or had an offer from a school he wanted to be at that badly in 18 he would. He feels he should have offers from bigger/better schools. So he is choosing to showcase his year in prep school and get the offers he feels he deserves. If he doesn't get them, the DePauls of the world will all be available to him a year from now.
While it was fun to hope, our only true shot came if he held off committing and took an OV to us. If he was planning on going to UK anyway he did us a favor in not prolonging this. Also, I have a feeling when the top 4 came out he wanted to take more visits but Cal probably turned up the heat to prevent it. O well, this is what happens when you are a bad team for as long as we have been. Time to put the press on our next targets.C'mon, you were expecting a different result?
Yes, and Newman is actually about 100x nicer than either the old 6 pack or Bromley. That being said, new housing is a lot nicer from the little I have seen.I'm old and don't get back to campus like I should but ain't the 6 pack toast?
Sorry to hear that. Oh well, on ward and upward.
True. I just couldn't bring myself to typing that out. "The DePaul and Illinois of the world" is just depressingAs would Illinois. We'd take him any year he wanted to come.
As Quentin Snider would say, “Illinoises”.True. I just couldn't bring myself to typing that out. "The DePaul and Illinois of the world" is just depressing
We keep saying that the draw to UK is the one and done Nba track record of success. Maybe it's implied, but playing at a premier blue blood and legit shot at a Championship every year has it's perks too.
I lived in 254 Snyder Hall in 1972/73. I ran the Illinois Half Marathon in April of this year and Snyder Hall was still being used. I asked a student if he could let me in to see my old dorm room. When I told him I lived there in 1972/73 his response was that he didn't his dorm was that old.I'm old and don't get back to campus like I should but ain't the 6 pack toast?
Then we're firmly back to John Groce recruiting....and that would be very bad.Kentucky is the stud guy coming in and getting the hot girl that you've been working on forever. We're the dude that's stuck in the "friend zone".
The fact that we don’t have meltdowns anymore when this happens is kind of depressing. I expected a 30 page thread by the time I logged in.
I think it means we’ve reached acceptance in our 12 step program

With the one and done rules changing soon, we can expect more of this. Blue bloods will come calling on recruits last minute if their top guys go pro. It doesn't really affect them as much as it will us.We won’t get these type of guys until WE WIN.
You can't have disappointment without expectation and to be honest I don't think anyone was really expecting anything other than KY.The fact that we don’t have meltdowns anymore when this happens is kind of depressing. I expected a 30 page thread by the time I logged in.
