KAT was #5 in the composite, behind Cliff Alexander....lol. Skal was only #1 on Rivals, was #2 in composite behind Simmons. Skal sucked ass so bad. Softer than Charmin.
I don't know his reasons or even pretend to, I can only speculate. In years past it was important to get a strong ooc schedule due to the weakness of the SEC. That's not so now, the SEC has picked it up. I think he was looking for more of a balanced schedule, and more softer teams in ooc.
I just think he didn’t want multiple ooc road games in one season.
So why schedule the game in the first place, then? Serious question.
Skye Clark, Shaedon Sharpe, Cason Wallace in backcourt.
...about to have the first 3, not saying they get all 6, but the chances are pretty good.
Curious as to how Nick Smith/Cason Wallace react to Sharpe’s commitment. Most teams play 3 guard, so you’d think at least one more would be open to playing together.
Wallace is the priority over Smith for UK. If they get commitments from him and Sharpe then Smith will be out of the picture. Bona would probably commit right now, imo, if he could but UK wants to know what Lively is going to do. I think Lively is probably 50/50 between UK and Duke. Livingston is a toss-up, no idea here he ends up.
Ok....So Cal and Howard are good buds. Great. But if your reasoning for dumping the game is b/c you don't want to many OOC road games----well, why schedule the game to begin with. Or were the games at ND and Kansas forgotten about?
Wallace probably makes more sense for your roster considering he can play PG, especially with Skyy coming off an ACL tear.
I make no pretense to read Cal's mind. The SEC is stronger. We have our hands full as it is. I as a fan would liked to see the game, but I go no say so.
My sources talk out of their ass, but they're usually spot on. Smith Jr. seems like a lock. Word on the street is he wants to now pla against UK.
Since we are now #1, I pay very little attention to who is in second or third, but thanks for the update.
It gives us lowly UK fans something to shoot for. You guys have a decent out of conference schedule. I bet we are the most improved SEC team this year. Looks like Cal's swag is back.... So tell us what's it like being in the final 4.
Yeah, we do have a good out of conference schedule. You can take it to the bank that we won't drop any of those teams scheduled.
Maybe, but as soon as it was announced that they drew Kansas in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge I am sure they knew they would be playing on the road since the last 2 times they've played Kansas in the Challenge it has been in Lexington. Cal just needs to stop being a little bitch and play the games he scheduled. At the very least UK needs to explain the excuse for dropping the game. “Due to scheduling challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the previously scheduled Kentucky men’s basketball game at Michigan will not take place this season." That's a load of shit. The game was already scheduled nearly 2 years ago.
Thanks for the congrats. Glad you've been thinking about Cal and Kentucky.
