This must best the coaching staff in the Nation.... I am just playing. He might be the most overrated player in UK history.

How was Saul overrated? He took more crap then the majority of college players ever will.

While he may not have had the talent of a lot of players, he played his guts out every game. He did not short change the program with his desire or his willingness to do what was best for the team.

 

I respect him to this day for that.

Are you serious. He had no reason to be starting at UK. He had the worse talent on the team and had no buisness playing Divison I Basketball maybe Divison II

How long did he start for? I'm not saying he was any good but generally it's hard to be overrated if nobody thinks you're any good, which seemed to be the consensus of the UK fan base.

:thumb: :thumb: I agree, just for the record, I would LOVE to have a kid on U.K. that played with the heart and desire that Saul Smith did. I liked him and the way he played and represented U.K.. Saul took unbelievable abuse from the fans and all unwarranted bc he was Tubby's son. That really shows class out of some of these people and not to mention brining it up this many years later (about Saul).:irked:

 

Saul didn't deserve to wear a UK uniform, let alone start for the 'Cats.

 

Sometimes even playing hard doesn't supercede the fact that you're horrible.

What a dream...less pressure and a chance to give your son a job. Priceless?

I agree with you here, Heck he could have brought Donna in as an assistant and it would be all good, smart man Tubby.

Yeah, if he'd have brought Saul to the staff after letting him play 4 undeserving years at UK I'd go crazy.

Well said. Had he not been the coach's son I believe his hustle would have made him a fan favorite. I also believe the work ethic he showed will serve him well in the coaching ranks.

Wow, the man moved on, so should the bashers....

You are absolutely right. :thumb:

The biggest problem with Saul at UK is that Tubby didn't recruit any other PG's because of him. And the few that he did look at had no intentions of competiting for the starting job with the coach's son.

All of those guys are just "closet" Tubby Fans! :lol: :lol: :walk:

I guess you and I are the only ones who see that.

Yet CC appreciates all that Saul went through here at UK.
