The Front Row

You could probably say the same thing about UK beating tOSU in football. We are a football school they are a basketball school. Its tough to be the best at both and if you have ever been to Lexington or the state of KY you would know they are all about the round ball. Best fans, best tradition, best coach = championship program. I hate them but they're good.

What's the over/under on the amount of time until Cal's record is taken off the books??

Between Calipari and Saban I don't know whos a dirtier recruiter.

Maybe so, but if they do meet up, it's one game, one chance in the madness of March. there will also be ample opportunities for either team to get upset before they could play...Hey I'm justbtrying to make myself feel better!! Lol

As good as the Harrison brothers are, I don't think they're going to step in and dominate (wasn't Austin Rivers a super prospect as well?) in part because of their height.

Here's a list of guys shorter than 6'7" who were top ten ranked players

2011 - Bradley Beal, Austin Rivers, Marquise Teague
2010 - Josh Selby, Kyrie Irving, Brandon Knight, Cory Joseph
2009 - John Wall, Avery Bradley, Michael Snaer
2008 - Jrue Holiday, Brandon Jennings, Tyreke Evans, Scotty Hopson, Willie Warren
2007 - Eric Gordon, Derrick Rose, OJ Mayo

Of that list, really only Wall was a consensus all-american type player. There were some excellent players, but not guys who automatically make their team a national championship contender. The highly ranked tall athletic guys like Durant, Anthony Davis, and Blake Griffin are a lot more likely to dominate the game than 6'4" guards, no matter how talented.

Yeah, Calipari is bringing a gun to a fist fight. The question becomes what are we willing to do about it?

Wow I might be the only one but give me an experienced Craft and Thomas over these 2 one and dones every day of the week, every week, all year.

Did California fall off the map?

This years team has a chance to be really good. Think we would beat Kentucky this year.....

I smell a double or nothing bet coming on. You take UK and I take the field. I bet UK does not win the title this year. What say you?

BTW, when are we gonna meet up and have those beers? I believe I am owed some libations.

Then the evidence must've been overwhelming to bring down the banners then, right? Yeah, UCLA basketball during their dynasty era was a really tough sell I'm sure so clearly they needed outside influences to attract players. Don't be dumb.
