The House of Blue

Don't disagree with any of that.

Agree 100%. Harrow has only given us maybe 2-3 good, solid games. As much as people complain about Archie and Alex's play, I find myself the most disappointed with Harrow. Kid played a year at NC State, not great minutes but still got some experience under his belt. And then practiced a whole year with a championship team against a very talented PG in Teague. I could go on, but I won't. I would much rather see Archie at the point because I felt he was starting to develop decently at the 1 spot. I love and appreciate Polson's hustle and effort, but he isn't talented or athletic enough to carry the team far enough as we all want.

Yes they did say that. Fast forward to today, and I would kill to have Teague running the point. The amount of easy lobs he'd have thrown up to Noel and WCS would've been stupid.

I seriously doubt that...."Cal ran off Lamb, Teague, and Jones". They all three took the money and ran to the NBA. They may not be seeing the floor much (except in the D-League), but they are certainly well paid! I assume Cal could pull a Coach K move and play head games with them to return....but Cal has too much integrity and trust by the players to play that......

Take it easy, Francis.........

What has happened with T. Beckham? Hurt?

Some of you get so upset when others don't always have positive things to say about our coach. Look when I see Florida, UNC, Duke, KU keeping talent for multiple years and UK is reloading or trying to reload everything every year it is tire some. Plus Cal is suppost to be looking out for these young men and he has said several times that the money is in the second contract. Well tell me this is Lamb, Jones or Teague going to get rich off their second contracts? No, and thats because they were not ready to go no matter how much talent they had they were not ready. Now the ones that were are playing major minutes right now like Wall, Cousins, Knight, Gilly, Davis, Patterson. I know Patrick didn't play much at first but look at what he's doing right now. I will say this TJ probably made a good decission but the other two didn't. And for me I think its our coaches job to make these young guy's understantd that they were going to hurt maybe even destroy any career they might have had by leaving too soon. Thats why I say it is Cals fault because other top tier coaches are able to talk their players who are even good enough to come back to school. Plus he didn't go out and make sure he had the players to replace them and left this team with zero upper classmen for leadership I mean he is to blame for that because he's the coach. Some will say but they got drafted in round one and say to you so did Orton and look his career is already over. The average career in that league is like seven years so no neither of Lamb or Teague should be in that league and anybody who thinks coach Cal didn't give them the ok to leave is either nieve or thinks he can't do no wrong. Well look at this years team even before Noel went down we lack one thing and thats guard play. And by the way he's the coach of the University of Kentucky and its his job to do not only whats best for the players but the university as well and last year he didn't look out for this year.

I always laugh when people make the assumption that getting a college education is something that is valuable to every person in the US. Not only does a large chunk of the population have no business at all going to college, the value of a college education is becoming more and more questionable if you're going just to have something to do. I suspect that these young men would be much more inclined to study and do well if they were to follow their hoop dreams and then, if the mood strikes them and they've "struck out" in the league, come back to school on their own.
