Nice hire, glad to have this made official.
The future is looking better and better.

Actually, DEFCON 1 is the worst. Yesterday was more like a 2. You’ll see DEFCON 1 when Tipton posts the Kofi to UK edit. If that comes to pass it will be worse than Cliffmas and IDKWTI to IU. Combined.
I'll despise Gordon much more than kofi. But in terms of hits I kinda put the Kofi one higher if it happens.Yea not close..... I think a lot expect Kofi to go and there are some signs out there saying so.
Those other two situations were much worse. Not sure I have ever disliked an 18 yr more than the first one. At least IDKWTI was an Indiana kid so you almost expected something to go wrong.

The Cliff thing is just a joke of a footnote. Sure it hurt but it's not like we went months planning on him.

Please no past-tense until it becomes past-tense, thank you!Y'all entitled to your opinion, but I don't share it. Kofi talks glowingly of OA, and he left for Kentucky. From what I understand, the program went to great lengths to keep him, but we know the result, and that's not on Kofi. Players follow coaches all the time. Hate to say it, but IMO we're on the outside looking in.
I'm impressed so many players stayed given we lost all three ACs. Staff has done a heck of a job replenishing those positions, and I wouldn't be surprised if we're in a better, more stable position long term. But...the turnover is disruptive. NIL is going to make every year something of a scramble right up through enrollment.
BTF - Brooks Taylor Fanthe DJax thread should be required reading for all prior to being allowed to post. You never look at insiders the same after something like that and definitely grounds your perspective moving forward. RIP Kool aid man (BFG?)
Love the Epps highlights, would be an excellent get
I imagine if Kofi decides to transfer, we won't be seeing his jersey in the rafters anytime soon. Just my gut feeling.IDKWTI was really bad. Really really bad. Cliffmas was very bad too, but the trajectory he took at KU really blunted the impact of that one. I just don't see how losing a recruitment, even one that involves a last second decommitment, can compare to losing a guy like Kofi. He's worn the orange and blue for two seasons, and has been as fun to watch as any other player I've ever seen put on the jersey. He's an All-American and could have his jersey in the rafters one day (don't know what will happen with that if he transfers tbh, but he's already eligible given his AA status). To me, if this transpires, that stings far more than losing someone who's never played a game for us. Just my opinion.
Tim Anderson = fail /s
it was indeed less than 48
Perish the thought!Anderson gonna bring Bynum with him from DePaul?
Got to share the rock at Kentuckyhard to envision that happening though given that it would essentially be the same coaching staff that got him to AA level
UK's 5 stars are gonna get theirs, mark it down.Got to share the rock at Kentucky
Doesn’t Casey Washington play footballso when do washington and casey commit?
In both cases their fathers got paid. Sons went where their fathers told them to.I'll despise Gordon much more than kofi. But in terms of hits I kinda put the Kofi one higher if it happens.

If we do in fact land Epps we will have beaten out Kansas for him. Would be a massive win in 2022
The thing about Cliffmas is that it wasn't just him: Snider decommitted and signed with Louisville instead that morning, and then that afternoon we were purposefully punched in the gonads by a teenager. I wasn't around this board for IDKWTI so I can't speak to the collective reaction, but the double whammy on 11/15/13 makes it the worst in my book.IDKWTI was so so depressing. The worst part was having a Indiana fan at work who just would not stop gloating over it.
Cliff was a definite nut punch that hurt for a while, but it was not near as deflating.
Fair, but if you could pick either junior Kofi or freshmen Cliff Alexander and Quentin Snider on your team, which are you taking? I'm taking Kofi all day, every day, and it's not even close.The thing about Cliffmas is that it wasn't just him: Snider decommitted and signed with Louisville instead that morning, and then that afternoon we were purposefully punched in the gonads by a teenager.

If memory serves, that was also the day the music died. I think someone even wrote a song about it.The thing about Cliffmas is that it wasn't just him: Snider decommitted and signed with Louisville instead that morning, and then that afternoon we were purposefully punched in the gonads by a teenager.

He’s a workhorseI expect to see quite a few massive recruiting wins with Frazier on staff...
Does that include UK's rafters?I imagine if Kofi decides to transfer, we won't be seeing his jersey in the rafters anytime soon. Just my gut feeling.
I don’t know. That is tough. Is it ”not even close?”Fair, but if you could pick either junior Kofi or freshmen Cliff Alexander and Quentin Snider on your team, which are you taking? I'm taking Kofi all day, every day, and it's not even close.
