On this day 16 years ago Kentucky and Tennessee

The recruiting class as of right now pretty much refutes your entire 2nd paragraph. Pope is killing it there too.

Jasper Johnson
Malachi Moreno
Acaden Lewis
...most likely... Caleb Wilson.
Those names mean nothing to me. The fact that teams like Gonzaga are not good and use to be nobodies proves my point. The fact that Auburn, bama and UT are outperforming UK in recent years also supports my argument.
 
Y'all made that commitment at the expense of other sports. Call it the curse of the "bear".

Tradition has been crushed and you are living the new reality. Kids don't come to a school for education, they come for a paycheck. They also are planning on a one and done and not 4 years. The paradigm of the past is long gone and you need to recognize that and plan accordingly.
Not entirely true, heck Tennessee has kids that seemingly stay forever and now that Cal is out at UK, you are going to start seeing guys like Travis Perry and Noah stay 4 years.
Purdue and pretty much every team that has made the FF the last 6 or 7 years, has seniors that stayed in the program.
NIL is in its infancy, so who knows how this is going to go, it might actually keep kids at a single school longer.
 
So, it was more beneficial for y'all to lose on senior day?
It wasn't as important as winning the SEC title. It was more important for us to beat you when hadn't clinched the SEC. The race was already over.

If they are good enough for the NBA they will more than likely go.

UT, Bama and Auburn haven’t been outperforming UK. Check the head to head records. The league schedules are unbalanced, so nothing is created equal and UK won the league by 3 games in 2020, there is nothing that shows UT, Auburn and/or Alabama that has outperformed UK.
As far as SEC championships go, UK has fixed the problem, Cal is now proving what the problem was the whole time.

Sure, but that's not what your post said.
It doesn't matter what program it is, if there is a player that is NBA material, he’s gone, but that's 10% of the workfoece in college.

There us one coach that pushes kids out the door so the next batch can come in, that guy is at Arkansas, every other coach tries to retain players.

Is national championship your target, since just making the final four is still losing? Wait, Tennessee hasn't made a final 4. Just trying to figure out Tennessee's ambitious goals. I mean beating KY is a lofty goal for some.

Jeff, getting knocked out in rd 1 is a bad look.
