No, I get it. It's just frustrating that teams used to lose a game at AH before it was even played. Now teams come in and rain threes at AH (didn't start with CMW as we all know). There's no intimidation factor anymore. And speaking of the Rutgers punks, look at how Harper Jr, trolled IU during his on-campus visit. That's total disrespect. The whole program needs to look at how to get back to being feared. And by the way, it isn't a hobby for me. Unlike some who are fans of IU basketball, I graduated from there, so I have more invested than others. When I was in my 20s, I used to be able to recite stats on the team and players verbatim. Lived and breathed it. Don't tell me I shouldn't care about IU basketball and do something else. Edited April 8 by 13th&Jackson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked out Rupp Rafters. There were some longtime posters who had signed off and were basically done with KY basketball until Cal was gone. They are back this AM and celebrating. The overall tone on RR, at least, is relief and excitement, it seems. We'll see how long that lasts based on who they hire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dead period from my understanding is only a no in person contact period. They can still talk just not face to face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 When my nephew texted me last night I was like no way....but I think this is good for Cal and Kentucky. It wasn't going to end pretty either being fired or whatever. This way both sides can move along but man the potential domino effects in play are big. If they hire Billy D it won't be big but if they tag any of the names being floated it could open and close as many as 5-6 jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 My guess is Arkansas will soon have the 2nd best recruiting class. I feel like those recruits committed to the John Calipari path to the NBA and not Kentucky Blue. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's no longer illegal for players to receive money, recruits dont have to take under the table payment to afford that BMW they wanted. Lord knows no players were going to UK for the girls. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of minor rules stuff, the major stuff is all above board at this point. NCAA has no teeth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on. It brought the dirty recruiting a little more above board. Cal double down on his previously successful recruiting philosophy of focusing on the 1 and done. As someone mentioned in regards to going after Boogie Fland, I'll take an experienced pg over his draft "potential" all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the school matters to these kids nearly what we would like for it to if at all. Its instant legal NIL now which is being heavily exploited. Combine that with the coach who they think can pull the right strings and they have their destination. As long as Cal is a head coach he will be known as a stepping stone to the NBA. Sadly, I think top ranked hs kids get caught up in instant riches and worry less about a coaches developmental ability. Not that they always haven't I guess but it seems to be more prevalent now that throwing bags is legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That money wasn't just laundered, it was damn near sterilized. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
