March 19, 200719 yr So I guess Duke and Florida have no shot either because they haven't recieved an LOI. The point you quoted and asked about was from a UK perspective on why he didn't sign in November and how it changes the process. UK was considered the leader at that time and didn't close the deal. It's a theme that keeps playing out over and over again and it's a large factor in the current state of the program. Getting players in the fold before any season unfolds is the new gold mine in college basketball. It's the core of the UK recruiting problem yet gets very little attention...
March 19, 200719 yr I just want Tubby to bring us a final four class with his kids. Nothing in what the last 8 years.

So you think they haven't recieved scholarship offers? What should we have done to close the deal? Forged their signatures?
March 19, 200719 yr I just want Tubby to bring us a final four class with his kids. Nothing in what the last 8 years. Let's just give the 1998 title up since we didn't deserve it cuz Tubby coach players recruited by Rick.
March 19, 200719 yr Improvement from the freshmen and, depending on whether guys like you put enough pressure on Barnhart, our in-coming class could jump to the top 20. Too bad for Pitino. I don't know how that's getting screwed, that's just about like someone saying UK got screwed when Wright and Hansbrough went to UNC. Give us them two and watch out. You've got to be kidding me. If's do not excuse an NIT appearance. With no PP in the fold and Morris probably gone, NIT is whee UK is going next year.
March 19, 200719 yr Let's just give the 1998 title up since we didn't deserve it cuz Tubby coach players recruited by Rick. Yeah in 98 gas was a buck. Time to live in the present.
March 19, 200719 yr So you think they haven't recieved scholarship offers? What should we have done to close the deal? Forged their signatures? To close the deal you have to CLOSE THE DEAL. Thad is doing it. Billy D is doing it. JTIII is doing it. Waiting until everyone is all in is far too risky and that's where UK is right now...
March 19, 200719 yr Let's just give the 1998 title up since we didn't deserve it cuz Tubby coach players recruited by Rick. Rick had some sucess at UK we know that, Tubby had some sucess at the end of Ricks reign... what about after Rick and his players were long gone... answer that for me?
March 19, 200719 yr To close the deal you have to CLOSE THE DEAL. Thad is doing it. Billy D is doing it. JTIII is doing it. Waiting until everyone is all in is far too risky and that's where UK is right now... Okay recruiting expert, what EXACTLY do they do to close the deal?
March 19, 200719 yr Okay recruiting expert, what EXACTLY do they do to close the deal? Easy there buddy..GT might be small, but he is big on here!
March 19, 200719 yr Rick had some sucess at UK we know that, Tubby had some sucess at the end of Ricks reign... what about after Rick and his players were long gone... answer that for me? If anything short of the final 4 is unsuccessful, you are unrealistic.
March 19, 200719 yr Pitino was in the NIT and the Big East is not the SEC. Ignoring the fact that he still beat Tubby to the FF? The NIT was after that...
March 19, 200719 yr If anything short of the final 4 is unsuccessful, you are unrealistic. I said a final 4 every five seasons. Certainly not every year. NOBODY will do that.
March 19, 200719 yr Rick had some sucess at UK we know that, Tubby had some sucess at the end of Ricks reign... what about after Rick and his players were long gone... answer that for me? Say we beat MSU in the overtime elite 8 game in 2005 and advance to the Final Four, then lose to eventual champion UNC. Does that change your perception of the program since it would have been a FF appearance?? Another IF question yes. But you want final fours. If that happened what would your outlook be even after the last two seasons?
