Steubenhoosier Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 At some point the collective “we” are going to have to get past this dread that once PUKe is involved, we no longer have a chance with a recruit. Get it, it’s been this way for some time… for some of you younger guys, maybe your entire lifetime. But if we truly believe that this staff is going to change the culture that has been lost in the program for quite some time, we gotta start acting like we believe that we’re going to win some of these battles. In other words, time to walk the walk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you, but in this particular case with him supposedly “ dreaming of a UK offer” and his dad having played foot Calipari, I think that’s where the pessimism comes from. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, just as in back in the day when KBJ committed to uk, they want top 10 prospects and if they are not that, the uk fans do not want.

He hasn't developed at all. ...and he's no more of a wing than Jordan Geronimo is. Geronimo is a better shooter, frankly. I hope this starts sinking in to these recruits that think Kensucky is the ultimate destination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right. Kentucky hasn’t improved him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope his outlook on future NBA millions has gotten a little more reasonable over the last three years because as it stands now, he won't sniff NBA thousands. Cal did him no favors putting that crap in his head and selling him a bill of goods. His friend TJD will actually make a living with basketball. KBJ had better hope he gets a usable degree from Kensucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right in what you are saying, I don't understand how the Brooks didn't see what UK was selling. Outside of Russia's BS in Europe.... to me, Europe is one HELLUVA opportunity to get paid for a sport. Go over there for half the year, make big time money... they rarely tax it, they pay for your flights, food, car, and apartment. There are worse lives right? haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
