        I'm gonna laugh my butt off if Calipari pulls a rabbit out of a hat at the last minute.

          And just a random Saturday thought.

          And let me say: I don't expect this to happen.

          BUT let's say Cal pulls these three freshmen and Kaluma. Man, that makes what Jones was saying yesterday pretty...rough, doesn't it? I mean he wasn't really saying anything most of us have said a hundred times. But obviously he has a much (infinitely much) bigger platform.

          A footnote here is that if Cal rights the ship here and we round out the roster, it's STILL possible that Jones was right.

            Cal did say on that tweet that they had reinforcements planned and nobody really knows who they offer or what is going on behind the scenes.

            I figure that was mostly just coach speak, but maybe there's something to it.

              Jones' over-arching point was that Cal isn't really in control anymore; case in point is how he was duped by Oscar. And I totally believe he was duped by Oscar.

              And also, even if he saves this roster what happened with everybody bailing out from last year's team is still a Really Big Deal.

                Would be a great pick-up for Kentucky IMO...but again, a really tough sell. Bringing a veteran in to play spot minutes behind freshmen is just a brutal pitch for Cal.

                But if you can get this guy you take him.
                Kentucky has reached out to this guy too.

                  Obviously all 6'10" dudes are huge, but Cyril looks particularly huge in that picture making the rounds on Twitter.

                    Oh, it's absolutely a big deal, and the basketball program is in shambles behind the scenes. I can confirm that on good authority.

                    I was just referring to the possibility that he has a couple rabbits to pull from the hat to salvage next year's roster.

                      Not UK related at all but Zion being taken to the woodshed on Twitter by his mistress/baby mama/masseuse/whatever she is is top tier entertainment. NSFW at all lolol.

                        ‘Saves the roster’ is also very subjective. No one doubts he could get players to come, but clearly the ones he’s targeting now are plan X, Y, Z, not plan A, B, or C…..or D…..or E.

                        to someone else’s post, yes ‘coach speak’ was issued when Cal came out and said ‘no one knows who we are going after’…..that’s just another idiotic/insulting statement from him.

                          One of my proudest moments as a "hoops guy" is when I predicted to my friends that Zion would be a "bust". Said before the draft that Morant was better player and would be the better pick. Despite guns, I still feel really good about that!

                            A lot of players bailing on Cal, is a very big deal. And there were some who visited and moved on.

                              Matt said multiple times Cal is still able to get good high school players to come to UK, convincing them this is the best place to go to make it to and be successful in the NBA.....it's literally everything else he's struggling with.

                                He does. And Branham made a crystal ball pick for UK. Cal will try to get him to reclass back to his original class of '23. So UK basketball may have a slight pulse at the moment. Still in critical condition however.
