Cal basically made us a one and done program and only Anthony Davis saved his fate. We need the Perry’s and Noah’s for a foundation. I am sure there will be some one and done type players especially due to the portal and NIL, but you need those 4 year guys like Pelph, Feldhaus, Farmer, Travis Ford etc for a foundation. If you want to live and die with a total roster turnover every year you will get Cal part 2. This year is an exception due to the previous coach taking the entire roster and recruiting class with him to Piggyville. Be patient with the young guys and let them develop. They are Ky boys and will play for UK not the coach and his shady agents.

Is anyone not being patient?

I think many of us think the best roster makeup for continued success is to have a good mix. Cal went too far one way. And him taking everyone with him forced Pope to go to the opposite extreme in year 1. But I think most believe Pope will get the steering straight given time.

I can see a future where almost every player enters the portal every year. This would make everyone a one and done.
The portal rules need an overhaul!!!!!
No penalty 1st transfer.
2nd transfer = sit out half season
3rd transfer = sit out full season

I agree, plus I will take a 4 star junior or senior these days over a 5 star one and done who is only here to bid his time for the NBA, I think the last 7 years have shown the one and done dominate teams are not going to win it all.

For me, that will make it a No Fun And I'm Done. I'm sure there will be someone in BFE that says "we haven't made the NCAA tournament in 40 years, but we have the talent to win it all this year".

It also showed that Cal created a culture that attracted kids here who had ZERO INTEREST in winning anything at the collegiate level.
