I totally agree with this sentiment. If a top 15 recruit/McDonald's All-American (A Blakeney) is coming on campus, you're telling me Pitino had no idea what was going on? He never once asked "what are your plans with this guy?" Or "how did it go last night?" Maybe he didn't know Katina Powell, but he had to know there were shenanigans going on. Guys talk.

I would agree.

Are you implying that negotiations are underway between UD and Brannen? Or UD and another candidate? If negotiations are underway between UD and Brannen, you can color him gone. No brainer.

Is Ken Bothof experienced enough to play this game? I understand if Dayton offers, there's very little he can do. But does he have the savvy to get ahead of this and make Brannen a tough get for other universities?

Do Colleges Promote Liberalism?
justsayin replied to Voice of Reason's topic in Kentucky / National Politics
Yes. 100%. -
I'm not griping and saying the refs cost UK the game, but I do enjoy objectively discussing officiating. It's a tough job. At first look, I thought the no call was correct. The defender had legal guarding position, and jumped straight up with arms extended upward ... rule of verticality. And I firmly believe you should NOT reward the offensive player for initiating contact (which you often see). However, after the initial contact, I believe BOTH defenders fouled Fox when their arms came down on his arms.

Julian Tackett discusses future of Sweet 16s
justsayin replied to Jason Frakes's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I see your point, but there is no reason to have a 20+ minute warmup for a high school basketball game. They're 16-18 year old kids. If they can't get loose in 8 minutes, there's something wrong. Watch any layup line pregame, and you can tell those kids are lathered up after about 3 minutes. -
Very interesting..... attendance 16,412 (18,119 capacity)

Hump had an open 16 footer he missed. Willis had an open corner 3 and missed. Monk had a bad TO, but Carolina hit three really difficult shots (Pinson baseline, Jackson mid-lane floater and Berry runner high off the glass). And least we forget ... "getting the ball down low" never worked once the entire game. If Cal calls a timeout and NC goes down and wins it, people would say he gave NC the opportunity to set up a play. Sometimes it just doesn't go your way. It happens. Not Cal's fault
-
Nothing is ever promised or guaranteed. Brutal way way to go out. Hardest thing in all of sports.... to win six games in a row in March. Brutal.
-
Hats off to Cal and his team. Six weeks ago, they were a first weekend bounce. By this afternoon, they had a legitimate shot to win it all. I guess we really need to trust "the process". They gelled nicely. Great season.

Lets not forget the Myles Davis saga. Addition by subtraction?
-
That has been my speculation since Katina sang, especially if the NCAA comes down hard on Pitino. I still can't believe he has survived this long.
-
Have to give the Zags some credit for really extending the defense.

“Put simply,” the NCAA said, “arranging and funding sexual intercourse for a prospective student athlete on an official visit is a severe violation, wholly inconsistent with NCAA principles, whether valued at $80 or $120. Although not new to anyone, the frankness of that statement would cause me alarm, if I'm UofL.

2018 10th Region All 'A' Classic Tournament
justsayin replied to brooksville's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I could be wrong, but I believe the thread only pertains to the 'A' teams in the 10th, not all of them. -
Jake Ohmer commits to WKU

Who says John Brannen isn't trying to bring "high level ball" to NKU? Maybe that's why he never offered. -

Girls and boys basketball draw has been the same the last 2-3 years, held the same week, and at the same location. -
Jake Ohmer commits to WKU
justsayin replied to SteveHarvey's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
As a season ticket holder at NKU, I don't give a flip where the players went to high school. Get the best kids you can find. So far, the new staff has acquitted themselves quite nicely. -
Julian Tackett discusses future of Sweet 16s
justsayin replied to Jason Frakes's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Argh. District tournaments started the week of February 20 this year, ending many teams' seasons. Even if they start the season a week earlier, I hate the thought of high school basketball for some being done before Valentine's Day. I thought February 20 was too soon. -
Looking at history, IU is certainly a blue blood. Definitely in the discussion of top 5. Especially amongst those of us over 40. However, it has been a long time since they were relevant year in and year out. More importantly, the vast majority of 18-year-olds are clueless of that history, which significantly knocks them out of discussion of top 5. Based on longevity and recent success, as well as community support/budget, conference affiliation, how is UofL NOT considered a top 5 program?? I put them right up there with UK/Duke/UNC/KU. (And I'm a UK fan)
