Can't talk sense into them. Just have to let it play out and let them see for themselves.
Ah, Quaintance

If you're only spending a year in college, Arizona State is a pretty fun school to attend.

It's only fitting since he took Memphis' recruiting class to Kentucky.
And yeah, he didn't leave a single player of his at Kentucky. Unlike Tubby or Billy, we literally lost the entire team after Cal's exit. Granted, the transfer portal makes that a much easier path to navigate as opposed to the old days of having to wait on a recruiting class to develop.
I'm still grateful for his exit. Saved this place $33M and an entire year of animosity between the fans and a coach who both were done with each other.
He isn’t old enough for the draft, only 16 right now.

i Did forget that. He can always say his Home school class graduated earlier than he thought and get a fake changed date diploma like Sharp did.

I honestly can’t wait, I told them that 3-5 years from now if they even remember this conversation to @ me then and let’s talk about how things went, and let’s see if my predictions hold up. I laid out what Cal does, who he recruits, how he plays, and all his flaws. What they will get hyped about and what losses to look forward too and provided them with 10 years of evidence. Apparently I’m just a “hater” and have no idea what he will do because they have such huge boosters!
More power to the young man. Hope all his dreams come true. Wish you had given UK a shot, but I understand the world has changed.
Good luck!

We won't get to see him play on TV.
Being at a doormat program works for me, though

Just another Cal kid that wanted $$$ and NBA....and isn't about winning.
If he is average or bad as a freshman they'll get to have him as a sophomore; if he's good he'll be in the portal next year.
It will probably still be about money for a lot of kids, as long as it's about winning too, I'm okay with that.
I think kids will want their aspirations for NIL and NBA for sure....but the percentage of delusional kids that come here and do give below average to average performance....then off to NBA will lessen.
Why Cal brought in Livingston...who we all knew was an out the door kid, then played him at the wing, he lacked skills for wing and then off to NBA. So what is the point of kids like that? I think those instances will be less and less under Pope.
How is it that Calipari purportedly screwed UK by going to Arkansas? It appeared to me that, with the possible exception of Big Z, everyone from last season's roster who saw any significant playing time was leaving regardless of whether Calipari stayed in Lexington or not. Calipari's incoming recruits were the same as his previous years of players-first-program recruits - dudes who were coming to Lexington intent on showcasing their potential for one season and then bolting in the spring for either the pro's or for another program. I'm thrilled that Calipari and his minions are gone. I don't see how it screws UK.

a few folks on twitter are saying in addition to money he wanted guaranteed PT
UL told him given the roster it was a no brainer but they wouldn't commit.
ugh, all I can think about when I read that is Calipari's stupid player rotations

He would be just turned 17 next year basically a HS. Senior. I wouldn't say no but I rather have the 3 bigs we got or will have.
No it won’t. But, we won’t live and die with these players anymore
It doesn't matter where he went for this year. He will be out there after next season looking for the highest bidder.
