Derryck Thornton to Duke and reclassifies to 2015

In KY? Maybe. But these guys are national folks, not local jack-legs. They've obviously done something right to ascend to where they have. To say they are irrelevant is false.

 

Disagree. There are well over a dozen guys/gals that cover the game nationally that are more relevant than them.

Ok. That still doesn't mean these folks do not have a powerful platform.

When any of them say anything I expect there to be some shade thrown at UK and then I can't listen to them anymore. As great as UK and Calipari have been since Cal took over I am more and more amazed that anyone would take anything those haters say with a grain of salt.

 

I'm with bugatti on these guys having relevance, but you are spot-on in how to respond to them. It wasn't long ago that Pat Forde, in particular, would get under my skin. That isn't the case any longer because I can see him for who he is.

Coach K the hyprocrite. Whats up with him trying to get 1 and dones.

Did it before Cal, such a hypocrite.

He wants to win titles and not lose in the 2nd round.

All kidding aside, is Thornton considered to be a "one and done"? Potentially so I would guess with next year's draft class being crappy. I don't blame any of them for reclassifying this year.

The difference with Duke and UK's one and done is that Duke has had 6 or 7 one and done players....UK has had over 20 since Cal has arrived. So, of course people will direct attention to UK on this matter.

He had Jabari Parker on the team when they lost to Mercer.
