Juzang to UK

A guard originally committed to Towson is a backup in the NBA?
His parents must be so disappointed.
...that window of time where they were able to pull that off has obviously closed. Now they're even taking cast-offs from the Reds.
Sorry, what I meant was “as long as the Royals continue to beat the Mets in the World Series, I’m good.”
Interesting, considering that there is proof that Kentucky has paid players before, but no proof that KU has.Laughing
You totally missed the point of my post.
I've said from the start, if you're going to try to win it all, you either have to have at least 1 transcendent player in addition to several other really good players, or you have to have a team full of really good veterans that have size and athleticism.
Now, did Duke 2019 fit either of those descriptions? The answer is easy, you just have to read from the 20th word in my post.
As far as what MY post was about. I was referring to the classes of freshmen Cal has been getting. He's getting 5* players, yup, sure is, but they aren't transcendent players. There's a big difference.
You can and should win it all when you have Anthony Davis + MKG + Terrence Jones.
You should win it all when you have Wall + Cousins + Bledsoe.
You should also win it all when you have Zion + RJ + Jones + Reddish.
I can understand Sean or Archie Miller losing before the FF with those teams, but not K or Cal.
Well, he's not going to Louisville, so why do you care?
You’re more interested in UK losing recruits or busting UK fans over stupid crap like this then your own disgusting university.
But that's not surprising, Pitino and Jurich were also more concerned with trying to hang with UK, that's why they let things happen right under their noses that other program managers catch.
But you are the one that is in here trolling. The only person that doesn't know your a troll is you.
Cal has tried to mix in veterans. Winning titles is hard. He's now started bringing in grad transfers.
But, Cal does not coach at UK to make fans happy. He's made that clear since the beginning. Cal is getting out of it what he wants, which is getting kids to the league.
Sure, he wants to win titles, but it's a crapshoot. The best team hardly ever wins and Cal has won more games than any other coach since he came to UK. He's won more tournament games and more regular season games. So his system does work, but again, winning titles is hard.
Lastly, even though Cal has more wins than anyone else since 2010 and fields mostly freshmen based teams, he's thought of, by people like you, as a coach that just rolls the balls out, while K and Roy are thought of as great hall of fame coaches.

“Winning titles is hard” is a much better excuse to run with than “too young.”
The only team aside from the NIT team that was probably too young or flawed to make a run at it was 2018.
The "too young" excuse certainly applies when your best player is Kevin Knox level.
Are you struggling to see the difference between a Kevin Knox/Murray/Ulis/Hami/Alexander and a Zion/RJ/Wall/Cousins type player? Can you not tell the difference in those players?
Zion and RJ are ready to step in and start on an NBA roster right now. Zion might be the best player in New Orleans next year.
There is a huge difference between a generational/transcendent player and a typical 4/5* player?
I’m not sure why you’re listing off players from a team that I already said was too young and flawed.
You’re really reaching in trying to put Barrett in Zion’s category. Regardless, there wasn’t a lot of offensive firepower around them. Overall, this Duke team didn’t measure up to a 2010 or 2015 Kentucky. It only seemed like it at times due to a relatively weak field.
Kevin Durant was probably the most dominant college player of the modern era and was surrounded by 5 stars and a good point guard. Did you expect Texas to win it all that year?
The NCAA is suspending players at KU for some reason. Nothing to see here. Move on.
Maybe we should wait a while. Not sure he will decide today. No need if he is just going to sign financial papers. If I was a recruit that is all I would do. It gives you a chance to change your mind if something happens later.
I'm listing off players because you're trying to act like Duke 2019 was essentially the same as UK 2018. No way, there's a huge difference.
Are you saying RJ is not a transcendent player? I clearly stated that Zion was a generational player and RJ was a transcendent player.
Don't care what you say, Duke had more talent across the board than anyone else and if Mike K is the GOAT, no way he loses prior to the FF with a team like that.
You bringing up KD at Texas only proves my point. Rick Barnes was the sole reason for Texas' failure that year.
And I have no idea why you're trying to take up for Duke, you'll be seen slamming them in another thread in 3-2-1…
Well, actually I do know why, it's because you have a massive chub for UK and UK fans.
And yet Barnes is kicking ass in the SEC with nowhere near that kind of talent. Hm.
It's interesting that if anyone else loses with a lot of talent, it's because they choked massively or coached poorly. But in Calipari's case, it's "winning titles is hard."
And I have no idea how you got the idea that I was trying to compare 2019 Duke to 2018 Kentucky.

What had Barnes done? He beat us twice. I guess being co champions with auburn in the sec translates to kicking ass.
So you’re making fun of UNC signing a 4* recruit in a thread about UK’s 4* recruit??????
Well, he took over a crappy program with little talent and won the league in year 3, then finished above Kentucky and Auburn this year.
Oh, and he's 6-4 vs Calipari.
"Kicking ass" usually involves at least making the elite eight. Barnes has done well at UTjr, but has only won 3 tournament games in 3 years. He is most certainly not "kicking ass".
I said in the SEC. I mean, you guys have been adamant about it being a good league the last few years, and he's been right at the top. With average talent.
It’s relative in terms of the programs history.
For UK elite eights or greater is the standard, prolly final fours.
That’s not the case for UT unless you think UT’s history is similar to UK’s. Obviously not.
