He should be reprimanded for the tweet. It was incredibly distasteful, at minimum. 

Lamar Jackson destroyed him in a tweet.  I love Lamar! 

Adam Shefter was his garbage tweet, talking about his NFL “struggles” in his death tweet.  Guy makes millions using athletes as chess pieces for content.  I’ve heard from a few former players, Shefty will have a hard time getting news out of any Buckeyes going forward. 

Man… on his way back to the airport after training.  RIP Dwayne, one of the best to ever do it at OSU.  He was a great guy too, would talk to anyone.

He didn't seem reluctant to throw his Dad under the bus concerning his having access to the computer. 

I don’t think he’s that bright.  But he knows what testifying means.

A confession deal?

A “we will go easy on you with your charges” if you tell us about your dad.

Nothing huge but a few updates on the case. The guy in the last post by his own admission failed a polygraph soon after the murders. When questioned by a 3rd party he says his dad may be involved.

I think they were close to a deal with the son and he backed out.

Duke wins the title, no doubt in my mind.

Puke, oh man and you’re probably right.

The 2022 Final Four:

Duke-North Carolina
Villanova-Kansas

Otherwise known as the Blue Blood Invitational.  Who ya got?

Guess what? If Sharpe stays, UK has the #1 rated recruiting class. 😎  Just going by what the rating sites say.

Fact of the matter is if Sharpe stays, he will be the first top 5 rated UK recruit since Bam Adebayo way back in 2016. UK's lack of Final Fours since 2015 is because they haven't brought in the top tier players. Am I singing the right tune @John Anthony?

Pretty much, trying to develop mid-level guys and taking guys from mid-level schools has been a mixed bag.  
 

I hope Sharpe stays so we can test my theory.  If he’s truly the talent of a number 1 overall pick, UK should have a great season.

Obviously not the best draw in years. Considering UK had to play what is obviously the best 15 seed in the history of the tournament lol. 😄 

How in the world did they lose 11 regular season games?

Happy for St. Pete’s but boy did we have it right when we all said Kentucky had the best draw in years.  The Peacocks had other ideas however.

Why isn't he the right fit for Cal/UK?

Why wasn't he a great shooter at UK?

My question as well…?

I have heard people say this.  Why wouldn’t they get along?  Not asking you, just asking out loud.   Anyone who gives me a lifetime contract and paying me 9M a year is someone I want to be one of my closest friends.  Lol.   

I think the 9M is just business.

I came to say the same thing.  I hope NKU lands him.  

What’s the scoop on Allen, was he in over his head at UK?  I’ve been out of the loop, I thought he was going to follow the Grady path?

Cal and Barnhart don’t get along do they?

I really wanted to see more of this kid.  Hope he does well at his next destination.

Is there anyone in Louisville who can do a wellness check on Deuce?  I fear the worst, to be honest.

Oh my god I love you people!

John, I don't think you're talking to Deuce.  Someone has obviously hacked into his account.  

Deuce is a fact sniper we all know that!

You can trace Cal's decline from the moment WWW stopped being closely associated to college basketball. 

1000%.  The WWW, Pastner, Coach A, Strickland, & Payne era, was the college basketball version of Goodfella’s.

It won’t be popular, but I think @John Anthonyhas been spot on about it. Cal has been an elite recruiter most of his career. When he doesn’t get the top 1-5 guys, he struggles. Too many teams are too good now days to use the “roll the ball out there” coaching style. I tend to think he hangs his players out to dry with some of his comments as well. 

Do you accept Venmo?

I can honestly say I am not all that disappointed because I had low expectations. I didn't think this team was anywhere as goid as people were saying. The one thing that got my expectations up a little was the draw UK had. Still, I  thought they could lose on any given night. I definitely didn't expect it to be this one though.

First time UK fans could fill out a bracket and pick Kentucky in 3 years.  This is a tough night.

I give him a pass more than he probably deserve.  But if they beat Wisconsin in 2015 or if UNC calls a timeout instead of letting their team play and Luke Maye hits his shot in 2017 (I think...the year with Fox and Bam)...we aren't having these conversations.

Tonight is just not execusable.

I'm still not ready to fire Calipari, but let's be real, when would I ever.

First half Cal was euphoric.  What goes up must come down.  I still love Cal but he’s closer to Tubby, than Cal right now. It’s been tough to swallow.

He knew he had a star, he bet on the fact he would make a deep enough run to save him.  I hope we actually get to see him.

John Calipari on Shaedon Sharpe: "At one point he and I sat down and talked about it. But I think what was best for him is how we did it. Would he have been a good player this year? He would've been pretty good, but he joined mid-season."

My moment is more about watching my 14 month old son dunk on his lil Tikes hoop and us pretending he's Tshiebwe and the joy that brings us vs. hoping Calipar/Kentucky look bad after a loss.

So yeah, I am optimistic and cheering on the coach of my team, cause thats what fans do. If others rather be as pessimistic as possible, thats their prerogative.

I got you, it was bad taste calling you out on Cal.  You’re simply guilty of being loyal, there’s worse things in life.  I just feel like this 7 year spiral has been taxing.  Maybe we can’t get back to 2009-2015 Cal.

I am gonna sit this one out until I sober up. but in the mean time, I am sure BGP ownership appreciates you finally showing up in College bball threads again (I was hoping it would be a little later in the tournament but glad you got your moment).

I’ve had my moment for 7 years.  I want you to have your moment, I don’t like mine, specifically, watching Oscar cry off the court.
