Exactly my point.. if i can be devil's advocate, flip that scenario and think about a kid that has his eyes on the NBA and not a four-year college experience with his teammates.

Auburn and Tennessee were the better teams last year

Who won the SECT and went farther in the NCAAT when it mattered? Kentucky is still Kentucky.

I hope you are right..

He can go to tbe NBA out of Auburn just like Sexton went to the NBA out of Bama.

You think our 8 man squad cared about tbe SEC tournament? Who beat Kentucky last year? Who lost to Duke by 6 and who lost by 34? These are all relevant questions.

You're just trying to argue when I'm just trying to offer information on the subject at hand..

Your information was a heavily slanted article from a UK sbnation article.

Look, the fair thing to say.. is that Auburn and Kentucky are the front runners at this point. Auburn early, Kentucky as of late, with Duke expressing interest. He'll most likely visit Duke at some point I imagine and we'll have a better idea then..

Could you post those horrible classes UK has had in the last few years? 


The past two years UK has struck out on their primary targets

There is a big difference between a top 5 recruit and the 15-25 ranked guys they are getting

interested in comparing them to ours.. 


AU has pulled our primary targets in most every class the past ~3 signings. We only lost EJ Montgomery but that was a combo of his sister/Chuck situation

quote:

but I think it would be a steal/upset if we were to sign Cooper at this point.


People connected to the situation disagree with this

Obviously things can change moving forward, but if NSD were today it would be an upset if AU didn't get him

49% and trending down slightly by my gauge.


Glad to know where you stand.

This broadcast has no announcers? Wtf, this is annoying as hell


They don't even have the score or time or anything.

It's refreshing without announcers. Sorta like being at the game. I just want to see the score.

Yea that's the worst part.

Myles Parker is more talented than half the scholarship players Barbee brought to AU

I bet he could get serious playing time at South Carolina this year

I still think we're 13-5 in sec play. Good enough for 2nd and 3 seed in ncaa

So since you won't post the last few classes, I'll just offer a summary.

6 players in the past 2 classes for UK were one and done, playing in the NBA right now..

De'Aaron Fox
Bam Abedayo
Malik Monk
Shai Alexander
Hamidou Diallo
Kevin Knox

Combined they signed 11 5-stars and finished 2nd in recruiting to only Duke both years..

Is that striking out to you? Sure, they might've lost an elite player or two to another blue blood but so goes it when you're recruiting top talent.

quote:

That would be irrelevant considering how many of them didn't have an offer from Kentucky.. because we don't normally have the same primary targets amd when we do, it usually doesn't bode well for us. Pearl has been great in recruiting, but there are several primary targets we didn't land.. like Ashton Hagans, who coincidentally went to.. you know, Kentucky.
