Tell me again why those wins were vacated and all NCAA monies returned at his last 2 college positions? And with 12 players to account for, as opposed to 85 on football rosters, don't say he did not know.

You know that's only there because of the All-Star game right?

I mean this seriously. Aren't these guys all dudes who would go straight into the NBA if allowed? Who is the scrub who nobody saw coming that Cal molded into NBA material? Name one.

Nobody wonders why players go to UK to play basketball.

Nobody wonders why players to go Bama to play football.

Nobody wonders why I'd like to frick Salma Hayek.

Hasn't Johnny Jones put 3 or 4 players into the NBA in his tenure?

I mean the guy has 4 of the last 9 #1 overall picks. He's had 14 lottery picks in his 7-year Kentucky tenure, and 20 first-rounders.

Yet, he's only got the one title.

I mean, when you sign a bunch of kids who are all top 15 athletes, you're going to put a ton of kids into the pros. Basketball is one sport where pure athleticism can take you pretty damn far, it's why forcing high schoolers to go to a year of college is pretty shitty. There are HS athletes who are ready for the NBA. There are no HS athletes ready for the NFL.

So yeah, he's excellent at recruiting talent. Developing talent? I'm not sure, I don't pay enough attention. UK is a powerhouse program, though, and they will always draw top talent like UNC, Duke, KU, and UCLA. It is what it is.

Not at all. However...

I see Saban hoarding talent on the Alabama football roster and using it to fill up a trophy room with national titles.

I also see Cal hoarding basketball talent at UK. What I wonder is why all that talent has only produced one title.

Well he had all of that talent this year and still lost in a playoff.

You mean playoffs/tournaments aren't easy to win with all of the talent in the world?

Yes, he was the coach at the time. He hurt every players draft position, tbh.
