If you want my honest opinion, if Calipari is able to get Wall, Cousins, Henry and still be able to keep players like Hood and Orton, a National Championship next year isn't out of the question at all! It would be a very good possibility.

 

This is why I love UK fans....you all never cease to amaze me.

You don't think a lineup of Patterson, Meeks, Miller, Wall, Hood, Orton & Cousins has the potential to win a national championship?

 

I don't think it's likely to see all of those players in Lexington. But if so, look out.

Agreed with everything you just said. If we were able to get ALL of those players, a National Championship would be in reach. However, the likelihood of that happening is slim so I don't expect to recieve all of those players. UK will for sure be a top 15 next year, and you can mark that down...

Since BH somehow pulled Cali. and then they can pull all the recruits then it could be stupid what COULD happen next year. We would have to win to a certain point just on skill in players then after that is when the coach skills kick in and we see what he's got.

National Championship man guys I will take getting back into the tournament and getting to the 2nd weekend first. That would be a great improvment.

As I already said, it has been YEARS since we were able to do this.

Be a Debbie Downer if you want, RP, but tonight is a night for dreams and for gloating!

There is time for reality and the road to rebuilding later.

I'm not letting anything get to me tonight.

2 years ago was not even this much fun!

Almost two years ago to the day!!!

 

That is exactly what I was thinking. This board was giddy about the BCG hire and glade that Tubby was gone. It is the same today.

 

I was not excited to see Tubby go and was never really that excited about the BCG hire but thought he would do a lot better than what he did.

I still think to this day that Gillispie would have been successful here if he was given more time to get everything running but no crying over spilled milk, whats done is done. I just don't think he was given a fair shot and thats just my opinion. He was poised to have a great 09/10 season next year.

Let's See:

 

Patrick Patterson-5 Star Recruit, #12 Overall Recruit in 2007.

 

Jodie Meeks-4 Star Recruit, #9 Rated Shooting Guard in 2006.

 

Darius Miller-4 Star Recruit, #38 Overall Recruit in 2008.

 

Daniel Orton-5 Star Recruit, #12 Overall Recruit in 2009.

 

Jon Hood-4 Star Recruit, #36 Overall Recruit in 2009.

 

And supposing the Big 3 from Memphis comes:

 

Xavier Henry-5 Star Recruit, #1 Overall Recruit in 2009.

 

John Wall-5 Star Recruit, #5 Overall Recruit in 2009.

 

DeMarcus Cousins-5 Star Recruit, #3 Overall Recruit in 2009.

 

That is 5, 5 Star recruits and 3 4 Star recruits in our top 8. And the thing you have to realize with kids like Henry, Wall and Cousins, these kids are probably going to the NBA if there isn't an age restriction. That's at least 4 future NBA Draft picks on one team. That's the kind of roster that wins National Championships, maybe not if they are freshmen, but they are definitely in the discussion. It's not that big of a stretch.

I'll admit that UK fans were extremely excited about the BCG hire (I was one)...no matter what some want to say. But this is a lot bigger.

Let's see how many are on the roster in the fall at first.

It's very true that the ideal situation might not, and probably won't happen. But let is UK fans have some excitement. It's been a long season lol.
