Exactly right man. You nailed it exactly with the fallacies!

P.S. when you ask someone for evidence and they breakdown and resort to fallacy arguments, it kind of highlights the fact their initial argument lacked supporting evidence and was just based on assumptions.
It is impossible to argue with an idiot, you would only drag someone down to your level and beat them with experience. Have a great BBN day.

Just show your work dude. Is it a top secret?
Provide your evidence to support the posters claims, and I will gladly offer counter evidence.

Also, I didn't make the posters blanket statements about our NIL or the statements that recruiting high school talent is how you sustain and win championships. He did. So he kind of has to be the one to provide that evidence, bud. 😉

There is a rumor out there that he needs shoulder surgery and if he gets it, his season is over. But they are exploring using intense physical therapy that could allow him to play without doing it until the season is over.

Really hope the PT works.
If that rumor is true then it most likely his rotor cuff or a slap tear. I had rehab on mine and it worked, but I had a small tear. Recovery from surgery is three to six months.

The next man up went down months ago. The next next man up isn’t ready to play this level of basketball. The next next next man up is apparently a 7 foot tall center.
Yes, and Pope is doing the best he can with the talent he was able to piece together after Caliponzi took everything (even thank goodness his buyout) and went to Arkansas. I will give Pope the benefit of the doubt for obvious reasons.

No butler means they might miss the tourney period. If butler is done where are 5 more wins coming from
UK gets in with 8 SEC wins. That would put us at 19 wins and 14 losses on selection Sunday, even if we lose in the first round of the SEC tourney. We probably would end up with a double-digit seed, but we'd get in based on quality wins.

LSU and South Carolina at Rupp become must wins. Sneak one of two on the road against Texas or Oklahoma. That's three wins. Then get one more win from the Vandy (Rupp), Bama (road), Auburn (Rupp), Missouri (road), or Tennessee (Rupp) games.

That's doable, but if UK loses either home game to SC or LSU, we're cooked.

Yeah we must win the next 2.
