And they never notice guys like Noah Clowney who don’t play in the prominent AAU teams or go to the sports academies like IMG, Prolific Prep, etc. He just played at his local public school and a local AAU team. ...

Same here, especially since we play a style like most NBA teams. That's why so many players want to play for Oats - he prepares them for the NBA. Yet, I see here all the time people hating on the NBA. They and the NFL have a regulated employment system, where players are under contract and can't jus...

You call Kirby's 1-5 record against Saban a big piece of chicken. Kirby needs to kiss the Rooster’s rings and say thank you for making me sort of important....

I read somewhere that UNC paid RJ Davis $2mil to return. We don’t need to go there. We do have Aiden Sherrell coming in, Nelson coming back, snd probably Stevenson too, so we have some good inside players- and all of those can shoot 3...

I multitask. There's no dead period for me with football or basketball. I try to keep up with baseball, softball and gymnastics too, get to a game/ meet occasionally. ...

Absolutely! I remember Oats saying Mo D has never complained about anything. He’s unselfish. Kaluma had a chance to sign with us last year. That ship has...

I would not take him. He’s playing one team against the others for money. I hope Nate tells hum to get lost and signs Oyenso from Kentucky. I like him better anyway....

Mo did bring the ball up lots last year. He can run and dribble. I agree that's a skill he can develop. Needs to get a couple of shots he can hit too....

Well, Griffin's pursuers since December have been Kansas and Houston. Don't think Kansas is in that league. SMU, in his hometown Dallas, is also a possibility as they move to the ACC. I'm sure Andy Kennedy would be happy to get him, but......

Maybe because we already have two guard/ wings from the portal in Youngblood and Mallette, plus Cunningham from fall recruiting, and we really need a solid point guard in case Sears enters the draft as many expect. Another rim protector (in addition to Sherrell there) and a point should be top prior...

Are most or all the former Kentucky commits going with Calipari to Arkansas? Who paid them in the first place, and who is paying them now? I hope just for the sake of not-stupid business that Kentucky did not pay them their NIL in full before they signed. We need a rule that players are free to tran...
