SEC Season Thread

- Start date
Yep. Auburn and South Carolina would be the last 2 from the SEC. 2017 and 2019
Yup. My schedule frees up for a couple weeks and I think I'll make that one.
Auburn host alabama, south carolina, and kentucky all within the next 11 days. Trip to Florida mixed in this saturday. 4 quad 1 games in a row. Should be fun
So, here's my point, in any given year, who has had more talent than UK?
When you look at all of UK's losses the last 12 years, who had more talent than UK? 18/19 duke? Sure. Who else?
You would have a point if UK wasn't more talented than 99% of the teams they have played.
I get that parity is out there, well, what that means is the talent is more spread out, but UK has a huge talent advantage every year.
So, the problem is not parity when it comes to UK, it's the head of operations.
What you're failing to acknowledge is that Fr talent doesn't necessarily trump experience.
some of UK's talent has been severely overrated though as well
Huh? That's what I have been saying for years.
The thing is, Cal's program works great for those that stay more than 1 year and the handful that have stayed 3 and 4 years, have turned into phenominal players.
I would guess that about 90% of UK players only stay 1 year. That’s why UK isn't winning. Cal is not coaching fir titles, he’s coaching for draft picks.
Heck, even duke hangs on to more players, do you think Filipowski stays for 2 years at UK? Nope.
Fact is, UK is still the best at getting talent and if you can get talent into your program, you have an advantage and even after Cal leaves, UK will get talent easier than any other school out there. That’s just a fact.
Oh yeah, no doubt. The step up to college is massive and that’s why I hate this one-and-done crap. I'm so done with it.
But for every BJ Boston and Khalil Whitney, there is a Reed Sheppard and Tyler Herro. There's also a bunch of Wall, Fox, Monk, Randle, Towns, Bledsoe, Maxey and Dillingham type players.
The issue is, these 5* kids are 5 star kids becauae they have height, length, athleticism and potential. But they have holes in their games, holes that only get ironed out through a lot of development.
Cal is going to waste this team. This is an ultra elite team offensively, but if he doesn't fix this awful defense, this talent will be wasted again. But he'll be happy, there are 6 or 7 draft picks on this team.
Yes, but that means UK only has a potential talent advantage and not an actual talent advantage. Since these Fr. leave in a year they never actualize their talent potential.
And that’s only due to the culture Cal created.
Thing is, UK will always get talent, it's what the coach does with it that counts.
There are only a few schools that have the advantages UK has and while parity is a big part of college basketball now, I still think UK will get back to it ince the culture has been restored to what it once was.
At UK? No, that’s 100% on Cal. He created it and he refuses to stop.
Now, having said that, he has a team this year that, if he coached them, could win the whole thing. But he keeps playing dudes that bring very little to the table, just because they HAD NBA draft positions.
If he gets the defense figured out, this could be one of his best teams. I've never seen a Cal team score like this.
You don't even remember C. M. Newton's great teams at Alabama?
Way too high, he should come back and try and improve.
You can't tell everyone you’re a players first program, then get tough on them.
Being players first, gets you held hostage by hs kids you're recruiting. They all talk, so you have to cater to the kids you have to get the ones you want.
And don't get me started on the handlers. Klutch sports tells Cal how it's going to be. They told Cal he wasn't allowed to play Schaedon Sharpe, told Cal not to play Chris Livingston at the PF (4) position and as you can see, Edwards is still in the starting lineup. All Klutch kids. It's a constant ass kissing situation and the kids these days, have their hands out and if they don’t get what they want from you, they'll go to whoever will.
Any links to the last paragraph?
please don't say KSRadio. I guess you live there so you have more ppl closer to the program than I do here.
LSU gonna wax UT in their own arena tonight !! Doh just kidding they gonna destroy us and the refs won't help either so that's an extra 20 right there lol !
We have some physical players they just don't always score . If we play like we did last game we have a slight shot but if Baker can't hit 3's it's Katie bar the door.
All these things were brought to light by Tucker and Pilgrim (the Klutch stuff) and the fact that Sharpe didn’t play and Livingston only played the 4 on a few possessions, tells me those things are true.
Why is Edwards still starting?
As far as the recruits talking to current players and getting what they want, you would have to go through their twitter comments and really, just follow the recruitments of these players, listen to their interviews and watch what they do.
AUBURN.
Now when was Auburn's first final 4?
How many final fours did Kentucky make before your worthless asshole team ever made it?
How many titles did UK win before Auburn ever made the big dance?
Auburn in basketball is a loser. Kentucky in basketball is a winner.
Sorry loser.
A better question for Auburn and South Carolina fans is… when was your last title game appearance?
Heck, anybody can win their bracket, but what did you do when you got there?
Noobs are gonna noob... until their season's over anyway.
SEC now has a 4 way tie at the top and kentucky is not a part of it. LOL
Auburn got fvcked out of the title game in 2019
This could go down as the greatest conference title race in CBB history.
Winner of the SEC should he a 1 seed
Winner of the SEC should he a 1 seed
I think there is a real chance the Cocks end up with the SEC crown but that Tennessee ends up with the 4th 1 seed. If we go 7-2 in our final 9 and win a game in the SEC tournament I think 25-8 is good enough to garner the 4th 1 seed after Purdue,UConn, and Houston
