    I'll just tell you now that I'm done with sports if 4 guys off this team get drafted.

      Four aren't going to be drafted but I think two are pretty safe bets.

      Were I a GM I'd be pretty interested in Knox and Shai. Gonna have to put them on the shelf for awhile but it'd be hard to pass up on either of them if you've got a pick in the teens.

      Nobody else has a shot at the first round. Doesn't mean they won't go but they aren't going to be taken.

        4-4 but would not be surprised at 3-5.

          I can't imagine any way Vanderbilt wouldn't go first round. Just from the brief time we have saw it's obvious he does a lot of things very well. MKG went #2 and they seem to be very similar players to me. And Vanderbilt's shot doesn't look nearly as broken.

              “BBN, I’m trying to do everything in my power to help this young team come together. I’ll be honest, after being in the office last night and again this morning watching tape, we played well enough defensively to win that game forcing 20 turnovers. These are good kids who are just understanding how bad they need each other. They’re just so young, but we’re going to get this.

              We need you Tuesday to be at your best from the tip to the finish. If we’re going good, ride it and push us to make the lead unbearable. If we’re struggling some, encourage us and bring us back. The last eight minutes of the game, do not sit down! We need you more than ever now!

              To our students, let’s pack the place. We need your help. Student tickets are still available by going to the UK ticket office starting at 9 a.m. on Monday.”
              Saturday was incredibly frustrating, but with a month left in the regular season, there’s still time for them to work out the kinks, starting with a monster showdown with the Vols tomorrow night. If you’re going to Rupp, heed Calipari’s call and stand up for the final eight minutes, or better yet, the entire game.

                It's probably happening.

                  ^^^^^^ I am with you Coach Cal. I may be ticked off and dissapointed with everything that has happened but yes it's time to rally around our coach and kids if we are to make this work this year. I question Cal's coaching and the method to his madness but i do think this team has enough talent to make a little noise...

                      The hardest for me year to year is watching veteran college teams playing like a well oiled machine while most or our season year to year is trying to figure it all out with the hope it all comes together. I guess it is what it is but it still get a little tough at times....

                        I read this earlier today. I felt like this was from a coach who is really searching for answers and just doesn't have any for this team. We'll see.....Cal has pulled a rabbit out of the hat before. Let's see if he can do it again.

                          I like Vanderbilt, but he's nothing like MKG.

                          MKG was running a breakfast club at 6:00 in the morning. Putting up about 12 and 8 for a near-juggernaut national champion. Defending the hell out of guards every night. Splitting time with a senior who's putting together a decent NBA career in his own right.

                          Vanderbilt has a really good future I think. But comparing him to MKG right now is a total insult to MKG. They are not even in the same conversation right now. Jarred Vanderbilt needs to prove to people he can make two-footers and then we can talk about professional basketball with him.

                          People knew Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was going to be a winner--and a pro--when he was 15 years old.

                              Yeah. I think I'll be done with sports at that point. When the NBA is getting into drafting these players, I think I'm out.

                                It might happen.

                                What would be more surprising to you - if 4 go or if only 1 were to go?
