? I really thought that's why you said you didn't post during that game. Is that wrong?

More of that would be nice, but I'm loving this year. I would like to see a baseline pick for a JE lob. That would be great!

Kmart's son is a different story. If he was borderline I'd take him in a heartbeat. That would have his dad around a lot. Imagine a #1 overall draft pick around when recruits come to town.

I dunno about you guys but I have very little interest in one and done players.

Me either. I enjoy our program and I absolutely love when we beat them. Gary Clark and Jacob Evans may never see a day in the NBA but I wouldn't trade either of them for anyone on Kentucky's team. I fully embrace the concept of student athletes and I am totally against any rule that says these kids must do a year in college before being eligible for the NBA draft. You can't believe those kids even finish the year. As soon as the season is over many stop going to class.

As for Gaffney if we aren't a big enough program for him then best of luck and next man up.

cincycpaw will become famous soon enough
Yeah who wants 1 and done players....oh that's right, teams that win championships!

Can you imagine if Mick had been able to add a 1 and done player to this years team?

Remember Kenyon's senior year? Dermarr Johnson ring a bell?

You add a 1 and done player to the right roster by themselves...or multiple 1 and dones and you have a chance to win a championship. I want that. Pretty sure we all do! I'm all for building a program with 3-4 year players, but if you don't sprinkle in the occasional 1 and done in this college basketball climate it's hard to compete in March.

I really can't argue your point and I certainly would take a one and done player if he wants to come aboard but I enjoy the program for much more then how it does in March. Graduation rates mean something to me. Watching these kids mature and grow means something to me. Seeing them represent our university as true student athletes means something to me. If all you want is a good basketball team lets stop the charades and pay these kids and be done with it. Sorry for the rant but I guess I'm old school. I also watched a son who was a D-1 athlete work his butt off get a degree. I fully understand the time and effort it takes to be successful at both. What is happening in college athletics is not about what is best for the kids. I love our program and have no desire to turn it into KY for a win or two more in March.
