I hear Noels mother is pushing him hard for G'town for some reason. Its hard to say no to mom as an 18 or 19 y/o.

I doubt we sign Obepka now, the longer it takes. Man, I really hate recruiting, wake me up when it's over.

UC is the leader at this point. If Oregon doesn't knock him off his feet I believe he will be a Bearcat.
People keep saying this and I really don't get it. He said several weeks ago that he wouldn't be deciding until very late. Suddenly him doing exactly what he said he would do means were unlikely to get him?
unless UK gets involved if Noel picks Georgetown...that should be our biggest fear right now.
well don't have to worry about that now.

Funny how a School like UK worried about getting the #1 recruit with 3 other 5 star players commited and we worry about getting one four star guy... we need to change our mentality on what is good enough.
Did we have this conversation a couple weeks ago? We're on our way
Our payroll cannot reach that level. They've got WWW as a runner luring all the top recruits. Then add to that, Kentucky was already the most prestigious modern college basketball program. It truly is fuel to a fire.

Just saying we as fans shouldn't accept mediocrity, but we do. Ky built itself into what it is, they didn't accept being average with billy gillespe so they hired cal.

A 4 star recruit in the top 100 in the country is accepting mediocrity?

That would give us two on our whole roster. So yes.
Rome wasn't built in a day. Recruiting 3 stars breeds 4 stars breeds 5 stars. Your Gillespie argument implies Mick needs to be fired. That'd be the definition of a step backward.

I believe six years is a pretty good amount of time. My gillespie argument works because they went from the nit when he got fired to immediately having a top recruiting class. But don't stop believing I guess.

Obepka (if he comes)

Looks like 3 Top 100 and that is without looking to see if SK was there. Try again.

lol who cares. you act like these stars next the player make him great. by way wright was top 100 recruit as well. who cares if sk was in top 100 i bet hes better than most who were. give it a rest and go rout for kentucky already this kind of never satisfied attitude from fans does nothin but hurt

your argument is flaw just last year we were rated 25 class by scout. those rankings dont mean everything. biggie mclain was a top 50 recruit. alvin mitchel was top 100 that class was ranked in top 25 in my opinion was worse class in cronins tenure
