This UK team is absolutely AWFUL.

    Identifying a problem and blaming is not the same thing.

    Why can't I blame you for having crazy expectation. I am also to blame on this. We also made them out to be better than they thought. WE all thought they were top 5 team. These are a things that creates environment where they think they are better than they are. Which can lead to very bad situation.

    And, what were you expecting this year, btw?

    I expected to make the tourney.

    I expected to make the tourney.

    We were comfortably in the tourney till NN got hurt. Was ranked #25 before florida game. Most likely been around 30s after the loss.

    If you want to talk bench, we have to think about.
    1. Stacey Poole transferring?
    2. Lamb/Teague both moving on, even so they should have stayed.
    3. Weak ass class
    4. Missing out on some top key recruits: Bazz, Bennet, Harris, and Ellis
    5. Missing out on transfers: Don't even remember but 3 transfer we wanted only mays joined.
    6. Hood is slowly returning from injury.
    7. Beckham having back problems?

    We usually offer ranked KY recruits. Hood and Willis. Maybe Hawkins.

    WCS is now being said he is a lotto...does that mean we need to recruit even lower? 3 star players? WCS was 40+ recruit. Not top 10, not top 25...

    I agree to an extent, but Mays wasn't a waste. I do wish we would recruit some 3 or 4 yr. players. But like it has Ben said before some leave due lack of playing time and some go to the nba that weren't expected to like Bledsoe, Orton, and WCS. But hopefully Cal has learned something and Willis, Hawkins and maybe some others find their way to our bench for 3 or 4 years.

    Mays is here for one year. How does that help next year? Not to mention the fact that he plays horrible defense. His scholarship could have been used on someone that could have been a 4 year player or a kid from Kentucky at least. You cant tell me that in the entire state of Kentucky that there is not one high school kid that could be developed and contribute in 2 or 3 years.

  • Well not to beat a dead horse but I have been watching and listening to UK for 50 years. I have three degrees from other universities and teach at another and never attended UK but it is the only school I care about. I suffer with them and have joy when they win. Unfortunately it seems somehow my self image is somehow tied to UK basketball. It makes no logic sense but there you go. to save my sanity, I have finally have had to stop watching, it just means too much. I have been through a losing season and ones where we had no talent but this is the worse TEAM I have seen. It just seems this is a bad blend and am looking forward to basketball season being over so I don't have to here all this stuff.

    But on the good side I am starting to find myself thinking about football of all things. I have also reconnected to my family, started to do more at work and have taken up exercise and planning to take a trip :), Spring is just around the corner!
