    Trying to figure what these young guys and their families/people really want is pretty much a waste of time. Logic usually doesn't kick in until you have a house payment and/ or family to take care of.

    End of every day most of these guys have a 3 letter dream...NBA.
    Whether we appreciated what that meant for the college kids or not, John Calipari got more of these guys in some version of pro basketball than anybody.
    that doesn't mean I like it...because what I or any other fan wants doesnt get that dream done.

    Just hope he succeeds...I really appreciated his effort

      But did Cal really get them to the NBA or they were just so much better than other prospects that they couldn't help but make it to the NBA in spite of any college tutelage and it didn't matter who was the coach?

        What you said..

        Most of the players that came through UK would have went pro if they played for Oakland.

          I expect Wagner and Onyenso in Arkansas as well. Money will talk, Cal needs a roster. May as well announce Burks is going to Arkansas as well..

                ^ I think the second part of that was that Kansas would end up with Brea.

                Re: Kugel, could be the same kind of situation that blocked Smith from coming here.

                    Saw on KSR that Trent Noah has been released from his NLI with South Carolina.

                    I’d say he’s our next addition.

                          I like him but that probably means we aren’t getting some combo of Robinson, Poplar, Lanier.

                          I don’t think Noah is a significant contributor in year one and that’s what we desperately need.

                          UL fans seem to feel very confident that he is headed there.

                            Pretty good, I'd say.

                              Still need another big in my opinion.

                              I assume Butler the WV guy are the points, old school distributors...
