The End result of auburns 2018/2019 seasons was the same as the end result of UK’s 2014/2015 season
You are sort of pitiful. I really feel sorry for you.
Auburn has never won anything in basketball. Go back to your mothers basement and cry.
What did Kentucky win in the 2014/2015 season that Auburn hasn’t done before or did on 2018/2019?
Won the SEC without a loss! Won the SEC Tourney without a loss.
lol you're taking a 7 points per game career average guy over someone who was a 2x All-American, NPOY, and most likely the most productive Duke player of all time? That's a gigantic homer take.
Laettner played in 4 Final Fours, and 3 National Title Games. Turner didn't even play in the title game against Syracuse.
Also, Darius Miller recently surpassed Turner for the most played games in UK history. And several others have passed him on the all-time list.

Yell for anyone to get off your lawn today?
so you didn’t win anything we didn’t. Got it
Auburn has a losing record all-time in the SEC
LOL
LOL
Auburn still playing their games in a high school gym?
Of course it's semantics, it's also facts. Tubby Smith was not fired by Kentucky.
And after 15 mediocre seasons at UCLA Sam Gilbert entered the picture, otherwise most people wouldn't even recognize the name John Wooden today.
He's already 70. I am pretty sure he'll end his career at High Point. There are no expectations there and he doesn't have to put in any recruiting effort (he never did anyway). Low major caliber players will show up to play for him based on name alone.
Here something else I just realized. Tubby and cal combined is basically pitino.
He seems like a AU type coach.
Same thing with cal and WWW. One ff run with umass, and pretty mediocre at memphis before hiring milt wagner and forming a relationship with WWW
Would be kind of awkward if they did fire him. The High Point court is officially named, "The Tubby and Donna Smith Court."
Tubby and cal combined is basically pitino.
Pre pearl absolutely
What did WWW do? Nobody seems to know.... Is this the same WWW that is besties with K and Boeheim?
U think its a coinicidence cal became the best recruiter of all time right after he met www.
and yea www is loyal to nike, but i havent seen him sitting behind the duke or syracuse bench, or their players hugging him in the stands after games 🤷♂️

Is it just a coincidence that Cal has still been the best recruiter of the past 10 years without any sightings of William Wesley in the same timespan? 🤔
Silly, K is the best recruiter and it happened about the time we stopped seeing WWW on the UK's bench in UK gear.
WWW is the key, man. Eyeroll
Has he though? K and duke have been out recruiting cal since……….about the time uk told www to make himself scarce.
Still doesnt answer the question on how he was a mediocre coach and recruiter until milt/dejuan wagner came along and introduced him to www. Then he started reelin in big fish to mid major memphis and became the best recruiter of all time. Why wasnt he doing that before milt/dejuan/www? Its not a coincidence.

Cal becoming a house hold name is directly tied to WWW. How much www did or didnt do of course i have no clue. I know before cal left memphis the insiders there thought they had john wall in the bag bc……….www accompanied him on his official visit to campus.
Its not like anyone got in trouble or even accused of anything by the ncaa. I just find it ironic whoever made the post about wooden having sam gilbert when cal had www delivering him studs as well. Not the same, i understand, but still ones success is tied to the other in both cases.
Plus cals recruiting prowess literally happened right after he got the wagners.
Yea that was a little harsh. Ill just say Cal became a hof coach moreso bc of his recruiting than his Xs and Os, and his recruiting didnt really take off until www was in the fold. So connect the dots however u want. Maybe www had 0 affect on cals recruiting , not like i was in the room with em.
You don't think his 750+ wins (76% win%), three 38 wins seasons (no one else has one) Countless conference titles/tourn champs, 3x Naismith COY, 6 Final fours, 2 Runner UPs, and NC had anything to do with him getting in.
It's all due "moreso" to his recruiting which he owes to WWW?
OK
No im saying he wouldnt have acconplished that without bringing in all the talented studs he did. And he wasnt bringing in the ridiculous classes before he met www. He wasnt rolling in five stars to memphis before the wagners. Then recruiting “magically” took off at memphis, cdr, dorsey, rose, etc etc. he wasnt bringing in that caliber of player before the wagners/www.
Hes never been known to coach up a less talented team to overachieve, in fact moreso the opposite. Even some uk fans bitch about his in game coaching, and underachieving with multiple nba draft picks on the roster.

Regardless this is an old convo weve had before, im not gonna change ur mind any quicker than ur gonna change mine. And again not like he was busted for anything illegal anyways.
Imo though its naive to think www didnt have a major hand in cals career success. If not why wasnt he killing it on the recruiting trail and in the tourney before www. One final four run at umass where he happened to have a top 2 pick in camby. What did he accomplish nationally besides that before he signed dejuan wagner?

Dude, NO ONE is giving Cal a pass. He's earned the right to fix his mess, and we are giving him that opportunity. UK fans have been all over him the past 4 or 5 seasons. You know this.
The last few years Cal’s recruiting has slipped though.
So when is the end game for fixing it? I don’t believe you have a final 4 caliber squad this year either
I personally have given him this year and next. I wouldn't have included next year if we didn't have such a nice class coming in. Part of Cal falling out with UK fans a little is that we haven't been reeling in near as much talent as we used to. With three top ten guys coming in next year (depending on where you look) it has the potential to be a really good year. Shaedon Sharpe is supposedly the best freshman we will see wearing Kentucky blue since AD.
Not confident we get over that final four hump this year. Next year sets up better IMO. If Cal can't get out of his slump by then, I think the vast majority of Kentucky fans will have had enough.
Your class is stacked next year. Cal needs to sign better actual basketball players instead of just 5star athletes. Cal has signed to many as of late with pro typical nba bodies but so many of them can’t score or shoot. They are just long.
Yea, you won't find many people in our fanbase that disagree with that. It was honestly why many of us were optimistic going into this season. More basketball players and shooters instead of long athletes. Its been disappointing from a shooting standpoint outside of Kellan.
