Last part was kind of funny. MD was saying how they would become legends, and heroes.
Yet, it was at Kentucky they felt that because of our fan base.
ALL TALK MD, ALL TALK!

It's like I wrote last spring when UK won the title. It should be Game Over in recruiting. Come to UK and win NCAA title as a freshman and then be No. 1 or 2 pick in NBA draft. Can't compete against that.

Ive noticed how quiet the twins are in front of the cameras in several interviews but they will go thru some instruction on how to speak to the media once they get to UK. Now who is going to commit next Lee or Young although Im not 100% sure he will commit now just 90%.

LOL,
I guess you don't think we will be lucky to get 1 top 10 recruit for 2013?
;-) Just teasing!

enjoy this ride, folks. Savor every moment of it. When Cal finally calls it quits, odds are that we (UK Fans) will never see anything like this again. This type of recruiting success may NEVER be repeated again. Anywhere.

wrong. They said they felt like rock stars showing up for UK MM, as they should. They didn't say legends or heroes.
The argument was that if they went to MD they would become subjects of lore because of the potential impact on the program. You guys would have been fine without them from a program changing event perspective,

As much as CAT fans wanted this the Terp people were desperate to get the twins because it has been a long time since they have been relevent in basketball. They may have to settle for R.Peters or R.JORDAN who they are recruting also.(I think those are their names)

One of the main reasons I think UK was the choice is mainly because you are correct.

Exactly right. I was going to type the exact same thought but you beat me to it. +1 I do think Cal will have carryover at UK because UK is UK. It won't be like how Memphis went down. Even though Memphis did get a great class the year after Cal left. That was just because Memphis had great top talent in memphis that year. In short, Pastner got lucky.

I don't even want to think about after Cal.
Hope Cal stays for 10-15 years. :-D

Hopefully, and that's still not even mentioning Wiggins, or James Young, both of which I believe are going to Big Blue Madness. If Wiggins re-classifies, we're talking the possibility of 4 top 6 players. That's unheard of. They also still stand well with Gordon and Lee as well. I'm really going to love the 2013-2014 season.
