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.

Targets are staged. !st you want to win conference
 
Exactly and final 4’s are apart of that! Thank you for finally admitting that.
I have not responded to your posts so far because they are idiotic. Your weak attempt to put words in my mouth and then dispute them are just plain dumb. SEC title-> Dance-> go as far as you can go, hopefully a title. That is what I have said, if you disagree, then have at it. But, stop making up shit I said.

Idiotic? What did I say that was idiotic? You simply don’t reply because you don’t know what to say.
Let me throw a little something else at you, you always say the past is the past and you only like to talk about the last few years of UK/UT because Barnes is now the coach so now that Pope is our coach and Cal is no longer here I’m sure you’ll wanna drop all the 1st round loss stuff correct??? Since Cal isn’t here anymore and he was our coach in the past I’m sure you don’t wanna talk about all that anymore right?
 
Not recently, Jeff. Vols climbing up and Cats climbing down.
Y'all just got blown out by 30 to a team UK beat, it looks to me like it's the other way around.

You’re going to be pissed if Pope nabs a FF before Barnes does at UT.

Again, SEC title, dance, as far as you can go. That is what I have said.

Wrong! You have said making a final four and not winning was a failure. I think your words was “first loser”! Don’t change up now sweetness!

No, I answered someone’s question regarding order of goals. I did not rank FFs as a goal. This is why it is a waste of time talking to you.
