    Even with getting Randle, this has been the most depressing first day of the NCAA tournament that I can remember…even 2009 I filled out a ton of brackets and was pretty excited, but this year I’ve only filled out a few. My final four is Michigan State, Wisconsin, Florida, and Miami…yeah I’m probably going with what my heart says over my head… Also, have we still not heard from Jay? I think Jay’s friend who called was a friend of another Jay that calls…I wish atleast his friend would call back in to give us something…

  2. UK_JB Says:

    Have no fear… Julius Randle is here! 9 is looking oh so fine.

    Also… Lexington Herald-Leader… Really? http://media.kentucky.com/smedia/2013/03/20/17/54/16F9fh.AuSt.79.jpg Really? That will get your more subscriptions.

  4. Houston Wildcat Says:

    Rumors flying that Wiggins want’s to be a part of the best class ever.

  5. robuk Says:

    Dan Dakich is an ass. period

  6. No Way Says:

    No way he posts after the thread is up. Dr. Sayre’s comments are added before the thread gets posted.

  7. dribble drive high five Says:

    How do you guys post so quick? You a bunch of liberal socialists?

  8. Morehead Calln' Says:

    we should stop for a sec and give thanks:
    Lord, thank you for the many blessing and thank you for our bb program, we ask that you guide us, watchover us and protect us and forgive us our sins. Christ name Amen!

    ps – thanks for Randle!

  9. Fishstix Says:

    Now what about Wiggins? Rex Chapman dropping hints on twitter.

  10. Error in connection Says:

    Keeps telling me there’s an error in streaming connection.
    Anyone else having that problem?

  11. dribble drive high five Says:

    This post was up at 9:55 am, so there must be a way to hack into the wordpress which must hold this article until a preassigned time. Some tom cruise stuff going on.

  12. Kevin Nash Says:

    Can we get the NWO theme coming in from a break? Since this group of superstars is going to assemble and change the landscape of basketball. Blue World Order. 40-0

  13. Matt K. Says:

    Dan Dakich needs to go kill his self. Why do so many of these media guys want to just bash UK? If there favorite teams were actually any good maybe they wouldn’t have to.

  14. DB11 Says:

    “Blame the republicans..ha kuh kuh kuh kuh”

  15. dribble drive high five Says:

    Is Gonzaga the most aggressive group of men that Canada has ever put together?

  16. Error in connection Says:

    The other channels work but not KSR…What’s goin on?

  17. JT Says:

    I understand that Wiggins is now seriously conteplating joining what is now considered to be the best recruiting class in history.

  18. Winston Says:

    Should have known from the caps. He bought the dog ugly cheap Lids special for the other teams.

  19. Chuck Says:

    Matt and Ryan,

    Thinking back, do you guys not think that Coach Cal let the 2012 team lose to Vanderbilt in the SEC finals? Too hard to maintain a streak of wins. I think Cal didn’t tell them to lose, but let them lose. What do you think?

  20. kramer Says:

    Rex Chapman just had a tweet that a reliable birdie said UK isn’t done with next years class, said #BBNwillWigout!!

  21. Porcino's Says:

    Please let the widget work. Can’t stream from WLAP or 1080 because IHeart is blocked.

  22. inlinefor9 Says:

    Michigan St, Miami, or OSU. Those are the teams you can root for.

  23. Unit to tha G Says:

    If Wiggins has a change of heart… cancel next season…

  24. Daryl Dixon Says:

    Thanks, Chester. Way to perpetuate poor opinions of the state of Kentucky and Kentucky fans. Bravo. Well Done. Good Job. Good Effort.

  25. inlinefor9 Says:

    The Randle thing was locked up for like 5 weeks.

  26. Scott Says:

    Hey Matt,
    Fritzy on the Dan Patrick show yesterday did a Mock Head Lines version of the UK loss to Robert Morris. It was slightly funny and at this point if I don’t laugh it off I’ll go crazy. Also Paul Pabst who produces the show told Fritzy to take it easy (which he did) with the Mock Head Lines because of the wrath of our UK fanbase.

  27. Travis Says:

    Fish and Wildlife or Wish and Fildlife?

  28. Carolyn Says:

    When Coach Cal said he was almost hijacked this year, what do you think he is referring to? Also, he said he had been too nice.

  29. Travis Says:

    I like the name Low – Key Hollywood.

  30. Chuck Says:

    Can you give us some inside informaton on specific Harrowisms that affected this years team? Couldn’t tell us during the season. We know you know. Have Ryan tell us; then you won’t be responsible Matt. Thanks.

  31. Al B. Frank Says:

    Any word on the rumors of Wiltjer transferring to Gonzaga?

  32. Winston Says:

    Yeah, Chester’s call is everywhere. And it’s being used to make all UK fans look like idiots. Good job. I always enjoy when Matt tries to up his profile at the expense of his audience.

  33. IU Fan Says:

    It doesn’t matter who you add to your basketball team because you can’t polish a turd, and UK is the biggest turd in all of college basketball this year!! LMFAO!!!! GO HOOSIERS!!!! Your 2013 NCAA National Champions!!!!

  34. Daryl Dixon Says:

    12 – A wrestler named the Blue Meanie beat you to it. But agree. We need those shirts for next year because besides being awesome and winning, we know BBN is good at one other thing. . . .making tshirts.

  35. robuk Says:

    Why did Oscar give an interview with pat Forde?

  36. Chad Says:

    Look at Rex chapman’s tweet. If wiggins comes, we would have the top 3 classes in 2013 ha

  37. Wildcat Willie Says:

    Matt maybe people didn’t listen to you this time because you didn’t say “Bom Bom Bom” :)

  38. inlinefor9 Says:

    Next year will be UK, Duke, and then a group of like 4 schools at next tier. Then not a whole lot

  39. Cats,Cats,Cats Says:

    Matt, Kansas fans now claiming Jason Jordan is a runner for Cal! Their fan base’s collective backside is really burning.

  40. WildcatByTheGraceOfGOD Says:

    SERIOUSLY JONES?????

    THEY ARE STILL FRESHMAN. Take Jones, Lamb, Miller off the team with AD & MKG and they don’t win a title.

    STILL FRESHMAN, STILL FRESHMAN, STILL FRESHMAN.

    It’s not fair to put that kind of expectation on those KIDS!!!

  41. rixter Says:

    Plumlee, Curry, and Kelly are all seniors. Duke won’t be sh*t next year

  42. Fake_Sue_Wylie Says:

    Ryan… are you going to take my place on my show and leave uncle matt?

  43. Mason plumlee Says:

    Mason Plunlee is a senior.

  44. Unit to tha G Says:

  45. inlinefor9 Says:

    Matt did you hear the story of the former WWE wrestler that ripped a tree from out of the ground and threw it through his parents window to save his mom from a crazy neighbor that locked himself and Masters mom in the house and set it on fire???

    http://www.ibtimes.com/wwe-star-saves-mom-ex-wrestler-chris-masters-saves-mom-burning-building-photo-1141983

  46. Boogie Fan Says:

    Did Cal back off Josh Selby or did he choose Kansas over UK?

  47. Travis Says:

    Thomas Robinson said, “Julius Randle to KU, not UK.”

  48. FGCU_ Go cats Says:

    School in FT MYERS, FL, my hometown!!! Go eagles?? But GO CATS FOR SURE!!

  49. Forde ethical Suspensions Says:

    “So what’s it like to write for…Yahoo?…(long pause, laughs in hand)…And how’s…Yahoo Radio?? (More laughter)” – Everybody

  50. rixter Says:

    Duke 2013-14:

    Alex Murphy
    Rasheed Sulaimon
    Amile Jefferson
    Marshall Plumlee
    Quinn Cook
    Tyler Thornton
    Josh Hairston
    Jabari Parker
    Matt Jones

    Does this lineup frighten you?

  51. BLUE BLY Says:

    I personally clicked on KSR yesterday over 500K times on accident…..

  52. sher Says:

    It seems like everyday is a the greatest day for KSR and breaks a hit record. Just wait til you get that new website up and running. KSR off the charts!!

  53. inlinefor9 Says:

    #41 Check their roster. Duke bringing in 3 5 stars, have Quinn Cook as a JR, Amile Jefferson a SO, a soph Plumlee. They won’t be as good as us, but add those guys to Jabari Parker and the rest of the Duke class and they’ll be good next year.

    I hate Duke, but they are going to be our closest competition next year.

  54. Bned19 Says:

    Why do I hear uofl fans saying it doesn’t matter if we get the number one class? That we have had that every year with one championship and we should consider the last four years a disappointment. I have never met more jealous people in my life.

  55. Unit to tha G Says:

    I’ve been saying it all along: Wiggins will be wearing a UK jersey:

    Scholly Wise if he comes:

    1)Andrew Harrison
    2)Aaron Harrison
    3)JAmes Young
    4) Andrew Wiggins
    5) Julius Randle
    6) Marcus Lee
    7) Dakari Johnson
    8) Derek Willis
    ——————
    9) Willie Cauley Stein
    10) Alex Poythress
    11) Archie Goodwin
    12) Kyle Wiltjer
    ——————
    13) Dominique Hawkins

  56. inlinefor9 Says:

    #50 forgot to include Sulaimon.

    Frighten me? No

    But it’s better than most other teams next year.

  57. Eric K Says:

    Who gives a sh-t about what that bitch Pat Forde says, yes we were down… what for 15 hours….. April 9th they will have us as preseason #1! Wiggins WILL be a WILDCAT!! WOW what a class CAL getting! #33 the loosiers will choke! GO CATS!!

  58. Daryl Dixon Says:

    40 – you are an idiot and don’t know bball.

  59. jchall30 Says:

    Seth Curry is a senior as well

  60. Travis Says:

    These kids are foamin’ at the mouth. The twins are dogs. Two killer pitbull dogs.

  61. Real talk Says:

    Wiltjer will transfer book it. He doesn’t listen. He told other players “screw cal” on national tv.’youmcan read his lips.

  62. robuk Says:

    Matt Chesters call was awesome!!

  63. Kenny H Says:

    I wish someone would ask Pitino how he feels about Karen Sypher being paroled?

  64. Rockfield, KY Says:

    50. That is a good lineup, but I’m not sure I’ll be scared of anyone next year. Our big guys are going to be unreal next year. Espcially with a point guard that is breaking people down and getting to the rim.

  65. John Calipari Says:

    Sure would be nice to fly under the radar for at least a little while next year until I can get these kids in line.

  66. CatBlue in LR Says:

    “We got our Chris Webber” — so what? Michigan’s Fab Five never won anything. Don’t get me wrong, I hope they go 40-and-0, but let’s keep things realistic right now. Nothing is guaranteed, and just having the best freshman class certainly doesn’t guarantee anything.

  67. Unit to tha G Says:

    10 McDonald’s All Americans on the roster!

  68. chad Says:

    #50…you forgot Rodney Hood, the transfer wing from Miss. St.

  69. Kidnut Says:

    Chester’s call was funny and Chester wasn’t completely off-base either.

  70. WillyWildcat Says:

    I must have missed that part of the show. What is this about a caller that is being played afterwards????

  71. Kenny H Says:

    She’s not but I just want someone to ask him to put it in his head.

  72. James K Says:

    I do think it’s funny that people are overlooking what Chester was actually saying… he was commenting on the ‘everybody gets a trophy’ mentality that allowed bad teams to get into the tournament, which is pretty hilarious.

  73. Travis Says:

    Some of my favorite Chester calls:

    Swimming pools, bets with UL fans, the snip, Chester is a Daddy, Joker’s BACK, UK will win last five football games…

  74. Scott Says:

    I thought all wrestlers were heroes?

  75. rixter Says:

    Have you ever tried to pull a tree out of the ground with a truck and a chain? It’s not easy

  76. Winston Says:

    Yeah it’s a scream, Matt. It’s even more funny when anti UK shows and writers replay it as an example of all UK fans.

  77. BlueRedNeck Says:

    Matt, he called himself “the Masterpiece”, which is better than “the Master Bates”…

  78. UK_JB Says:

    I hate house fires… had one as a kid and it still scares me.

  79. Daryl Dixon Says:

    Chris Masters was the “Masterpiece” and his finishing move was the “Master Lock”, which really was Lex Luger’s submission move.

  80. Smitty Says:

    Michael said that Wiltjer WILL play 10 minutes

  81. UK_JB Says:

    WLEX said Gonaza last night for Wichler

  82. Rockfield, KY Says:

    Kyle Wiltjer is a great player, just not the kind that can be “the man” for a team all season. Needs to be surrounded by talent.

  83. skidcat Says:

    Hey matt have you seen the rex chapman tweet today about Wiggins!! If we get him WOW!!!!

  84. BLUE BLY Says:

    Wiltjer doesn’t fit at UK…nor does Harrow….they both belong at Auburn or some lower SEC type team……

  85. ryan in denver Says:

    Kyle needs to work on one thing this summer- grow out the northwest long hair. he will be unstoppable.

  86. Concerned cat Says:

    When are you all going to address the Wiltjer transfer rumors?

  87. remember this Says:

    The ALABAMA head coach came out in his press conference and said they were game planning to stop Kyle wiltjer. Wiltjer had his moments. The last 5 games of the year was rough for everyone. Kyles last 10 games were pretty poor though.

  88. Alonzo Says:

    Matt, Interesting on Cal’s show last night. Robic was asked if there was anyone else coming. He kinda gave a very little “snicker” and just said, all I can say is, look for two more. (paraphrase)
    What’s your thoughts on who they are.

  89. inlinefor9 Says:

    Lol nothing like general education requirements in college.

  90. Rural Juror Says:

    Any ideas of when Wiggins will announce?

  91. Rockfield, KY Says:

    85. I concur. I thought he’d have been better this past season with the Dolph Lundgren hair too.

  92. BLUE BLY Says:

    If Wiggins comes to UK…..I’ll buy Porcinis!!!!

  93. Scott Says:

    How many years has referee guy been in school?

  94. GummyBear Says:

    Did referee guy leave History class to go to Math or Science Class? Or did he have PE next?

  95. Scott Says:

    Where are Tony’s vacectomy madness comercials at this year? Maybe Shannon could do a live read?

  96. The Real Smitty Says:

    Referee Guy doesn’t even know the name of the class he’s CURRENTLY taking but expect to know history from the 1800s. LOL

    Hint Hint: Is he really a student?

  97. BlueRedNeck Says:

    Matt, I’m as excited and giddy as anyone, but after this year, I have to temper my expectations just a little bit. The Fab Five is still remembered as up to this point the greatest team of freshmen ever, but they stayed for TWO YEARS and still did not bring home the hardware. LSU had quite a team with Shaq, Chris Jackson and Stanley Roberts, but they never won the crown. It takes talent, but it also takes some luck, the right matchups, and probably some experience. I am REALLY looking forward to next year, but I am certainly not expecting 40-0. Don’t want to be set up for disappointment.

    GO CATS!

  98. MrWildcat Says:

    Just heard on twitter that Kyle Wiltjer is transferring to Gonzaga. Matt have you heard anything about this?

  99. UKZack Says:

    Here is another Wiggins rumor. Bob Huggins, who has a strong relationship with Wiggins coach, was told by Wiggins coach that “I don’t see him going anywhere but UK”. Huggins is trying to get a pipeline through Prep.

  100. sher Says:

    What kind of cruise ship is this? I would like to go on a trip with you guys but dont want to get stuck on cruise ship with ya!

  101. Swoony Says:

    Do ticket for UK vs Providence in Brooklyn still go on sale tomorrow????

  102. Unit to tha G Says:

    90- Will not be an announcement– will just be a tweet….prolly closer to April.

    Practice Matchups IF Wiggins Comes:

    Andrew Harrison v. Dominique Hawkins
    Aaron Harrison v. Archie Goodwin
    James Young v. Andrew Wiggins
    Alex Poythress v. Julius Randle
    Marcus Lee v. Derek Willis/Kyle Wiltjer
    Dakari Johnson v. Willie Cauley-Stein

    FORGET A GAME, I WANNA GET TICKETS TO PRACTICE!

  103. Adam R Says:

    If we get Wiggins, I guarantee that the NCAA investigates UK and Calipari. Not saying it’s fair, or that we did anything wrong, but there’s no way the NCAA could handle it.

  104. Billy Says:

    Matt says greatest group ever recruited in H.S. WOW ! What about the fab 5 or the 79 cats.This group may be good but they have to play first. Ky is in a tough spot with all these 5 stars. As soon a UK offers they are a 5 star thats thats how they get the rating on offers they recieve. Now they have to measure up to it.

  105. Cats,Cats,Cats Says:

    “WIG” out! Haha Rex…….love it!!!

  106. somervillain Says:

    Wiggins is more TMac, than LeBron. No shame in that. LBJ’s transcendent passing sets him apart and we haven’t seen that from Wiggins.

  107. Chuck Says:

    Wiggins is not Lebron, HE IS MORE KEVIN DURANT!

  108. BlueRedNeck Says:

    If we get Wiggins, I may have to go back on what I said in post #97. I guess Gorgui failed trying to get Wiggins’ foster parents to talk him away from UK.

  109. Kidnut Says:

    John Short, don’t get in a boat with Matt or Shannon. They will throw you over. If Ryan is in the boat you will be okay, Ryan will throw himself over.

  110. ktmiln2 Says:

    I wonder if John Short thinks that Matt and his liberal socialism caused UK to not get in the tournament.

  111. jojo Says:

    Jarrod Polson will be a great pickup for Western!

  112. Porcino's Says:

    If Wiggins comes here, next year’s team will be in the discussion for greatest CBB team of all time. You people saying “freshmen can’t win” obviously have never seen these particular freshmen play ball. They are MEN.

  113. Rockfield, KY Says:

    I don’t know if they will make it far enough, but if Michigan gets to play Indiana for a third time, Michigan wins.

  114. BBN Says:

    If scholarships become short, do you think Derek Willis will take one for the team and become a walk on for Wiggins? I would give up my scholarship for one year to have Wiggins.

  115. Travis Says:

    Who is going to graduate first…Bearded Guy or Referee Guy? Haha.

    Bearded Guy probably graduated or I believe is in grad school.

  116. BlueRedNeck Says:

    103, they already have, several times, believe me. Remember Enes? Bledsoe? Nerlens? Still, won’t Emmert be pissed!

  117. rixter Says:

    It’s possible that UK’s two consecutive losses on a timeline will be March 19, 2013 then January 2015. That’s 22 months between losses.

  118. BlueRedNeck Says:

    Quote from Referee Guy if he gets expelled by Dean Wormer: “Seven years of college, down the drain!”

  119. ktmiln2 Says:

    102. Still having to use the alternate name?

  120. LocalMedia Says:

    per recent call – has KSR ever tried to get Ale8-1 as a sponser. Ale8 bomb=3 pointer, like that better than whitaker bank shot.

    I took classes at Gulf Coast.

  124. Melvit Says:

    If you all haven’t seen the 30 for 30 Survive and Advance, I highly recommend it. Besides being really good, it has Cawood’s call of the championship game.

    I am bald… so you saying I can’t have a hot wife? Well I am already married. ;)

  129. Man Hands Says:

    If Wiggins comes… do we ask Poythress to move on?

  130. Morehead Calln' Says:

    If this is Amanda, ouch crazy hottness!

    Time to update the drinking and driving commercial Matthew. I think we are past cheering the Cats on to March

  132. BigBlueCPA Says:

    If Rex Chapman is correct, BBN just got a BBB (BigBlueBoner)

  133. taylor Says:

    YES!! WILTJER WAS!!

  134. Rockfield, KY Says:

    Wiltjer wont the McD AA 3-pt shooting contest! C’mon guys

  135. BlueRedNeck Says:

    I like the shot of her on the front of a 69 Camaro. Two classics!

  136. TheRobBromley Says:

    Wiltjer was in the Jordan classic game but not the McDonald’s AA game

  137. Scott Says:

    Kyle W was a McDonalds All American

  138. Cats R Back Says:

    Wiltjer was. As always facts are optional on KSR

  139. TheRobBromley Says:

    Oh wait, I’m wrong

  140. rixter Says:

    Kyle Wiltjer absolutely played in the McDonalds game in2011

  141. BBNinClearwaterFL Says:

    Wiltjer was a 2011 McDonald’s All-American,

  142. Unit to tha G Says:

    Wiltjer was an McDonalds All-American

    http://videos.oregonlive.com/oregonlive/2011/02/jesuits_kyle_wiltjer_selected.html

    he won the 3pt contest

  143. stillHere Says:

    Looking at the picture for this post brought up an important question to me. What do they do with the hats from the schools they don’t pick? Do they send them to Africa like the Kansas National Champion hats?

  144. Real Talk Says:

    Wiltjer was a McDonald’s all American he won the 3pt contest that year.

  145. Rural Juror Says:

    Wiltjer was a McDs All-American: http://www.mcdonaldsallamerican.com/content/dam/allamerican/pdfs/Player-Alumni-List-12-2013.pdf

  146. Jacob Adam Brooks Says:

    136) No he was a McDonalds all American cause I’m pretty sure he won the McDonalds 3 point shooting contest

  147. rixter Says:

    Cats R Back, when was your last mistake? DO you remember that far back? It must be really nice to be you….

  148. BlueRedNeck Says:

    142, what the hell happened to his stroke this year if he won the 3-pt contest? Total meltdown of confidence for this team.

  149. Morehead Calln' Says:

    BG Era – I remember leaving the LSU game at Rupp, thinkin’ this coach and everyone needs to be fired!

  150. BigBlueCPA Says:

    I hope if push comes to shove, Derek Willis jumps off the boat. He will be next to Brian Long but with a scholarship. Unless he qualifies for an academic scholarship, bring him, but he can’t possibly believe he’s going to play next year.

  151. CatBlue in LR Says:

    Matt’s not old enough to really remember, but we were already rolling down the cliff at a pretty fast clip when Billy G. threw it off the rest of the way.

  152. Edd Says:

    We got Randle, Nerlens will come back, we gonna get Wiggins, and No. 9!!!!!!!! (Howard Dean scream)

  153. jeff Says:

    Just a question….. just because all of these guys, and possibly Wiggins have verbally committed, they aren’t actually “locked in” yet are they? Is their anything binding? Could a Young maybe choose to go elsewhere IF Wiggins committed?

  154. MrWildcat Says:

    Randle reminds me alot of barkley

  155. dusty380 Says:

    #TheRevengeTour 2013-14 IS ON!!!
    OUR reign ends April 8th….OUR campaign begins before the nets are cut…..

  156. inlinefor9 Says:

    The Randle-Wiggins video is incredible. Both are soooooooo good.

  157. Jerry Says:

    MATT: Do you think Behanan, and Blackshear would already be in the NBA if Couch Cal had them at Kentucky?

  158. Unit to tha G Says:

    Jabari’s knock is that he is Soft

  159. ukjonese Says:

    Matt, please write that book on next years team.. You will be a best seller for sure and rake in the cash. You are in a best spot imaginable to write a book on UK and the team! Get on it man!

  161. Jacob Adam Brooks Says:

    The reason some think Wiltjer should transfer is not because we don’t love Wiltjer, but because he’s in a serious logjam.

    Next year I think Wiltjer is possibly the 5th or 6th big man.

    Randle and WCS will start with Poythress coming in as a 3/4 sub and Lee coming in as a 4/5 sub. Dakari Johnson may even play over Wiltjer since he’s less of a liability so when is he going to see the floor?

    The following year we will likely have Dakari Johnson and Marcus Lee with Karl Towns coming in and there’s zero chance Wiltjer plays over a sophmore Lee or a freshman Karl Towns. Karl Towns would obliterate Wiltjer TODAY.

    That being said why would Wiltjer want to come back if he’s the 5th big man at best next year and the 3rd of 4th as a senior. He can go elsewhere and play in an offense that fits his style better and he can play 30 minutes a game.

    I love Wiltjer but I’m talking about whats best for him.

  162. ChesterIsFake Says:

    Chester is fake. He’s actually a pastor from Lexington and has been calling into shows like this for years. EZ and Flener knew from the beginning but they all kept it from Matt because, well, it’s funny to keep things from Matt. Know Matt knows but he refuses to acknowledge it because it’s better for his show.

  163. Unit to tha G Says:

    152 – Nerlens is good as gone

  164. bbr Says:

    Enough already on the Wiltjer rumors. There is NO WAY a player at this point in the season would know he is transferring. In order to be allowed to say anything more than “Hi” to another team’s coach you have to get a release from your current school. You seriously think they have been discussing that during the season and for long enough for Wiltjer to have discussed\been recruited by Mark Few? Secondly, Wiltjer’s sister is coming to UK next year to play volleyball. Yeah it makes sense that she would do that whilst he moves back to the west coast.

    Honestly there’s really no reason an adult fan should be friends with or comment to a college player on social media. The bad apples in our fanbase are far more vocal than the good ones even though they’re small in number and stature.

  168. Smitty Says:

    You also have the few that will act like UK fans… Not many but, add that to our bad fans and things get magnified.

  169. bourboncity cat fan Says:

    148, he just wasn’t shooting for whatever reason, this year. he can’t take his man off the dribble, has no vertical, and if his defender isn’t 5 feet away from him, he wont shoot it.

  170. Jacob Adam Brooks Says:

    161) Not to mention were still after some great bigs in the 2014 class.

    Also what he brings is shooting but with the offensive fire power we’ll have next year we won’t be desperate for another shooter, especially one that is a defensive liability. Lee and Randle are far superior on defense and Randle has a much better overall offensive game.

    I just don’t see how Wiltjer sees the floor next year if Poythress and WCS come back.

  171. HillbillyInBC Says:

    Rule of thumb: an adult should never tweet a teenage kid. Only time I’ve ever waived this rule was to send Nerlens a brief condolence after his knee injury.

    For the record I love Wiltjer and hope he returns so that we have an endless supply of weapons and the ability to have absurd practices I’m simply playing devil’s advocate in regards to what may be best for Kyle’s future.

    He’s a wildcat now and always, I just think for his future he should at least consider his options in order to maximize his collegiate career.

    Would you rather have had Nerlens on this team for the games we had him, which gave some sort of positivity…..

    OR. What if he didn’t reclassify and we could have him coming in as a freshman next year.

  178. rixter Says:

    You’re right, HillbillyInBC… just like an adult shouldn’t call a teenage kid s/he doesn’t know, it’s completely inappropriate to sent an internet message.

    40 – you are an idiot and don’t know bball.”

    Really? Why would anyone need to know anything about bball to logically say these guys are FRESHMAN, and are only 17yrs old. I want them to be world beaters as well, but 17yr old kids aren’t always going to flourish in this type of environment. AD & MKG were special special kids…who were mature way beyond their years.

    They may be the next greatest players on the planet, I just feel it’s entirely unfair to crown them before playing together….or even seeing them respond to the environment.

    It’s one thing when things are going good around here, it’s completely different when they aren’t. People are seriously saying Cal should get fired after this years performance…those are your idiots. But I think as a fan we have to look at the reality of what we’re putting such high expectations on….KIDS. Let’s allow them to be kids.

    When we had veteran teams, and a super star freshman makes a bonehead play in a game, everyone goes ahhhh just a freshman mistake. And there’s not much more of a thought put into it, but when you take those same freshman and make them the entire lineup, you’re going to get LOTS of bonehead plays and it looks worse because that’s all that is there.

And no one is necessarily crowning anyone, however, the freshman coming in next year are special special kids. tell you what. why don’t you cheer for another team since everything about this season and recruiting season is soooo awful.

    Wiltjer?

  252. Delk for 3 Says:

    Chester is such an idiot. NFL players are “practically wearing panties”? This coming from a guy who would have his body broken in half if he played one down in the NFL. I’ve had the good fortune to stand on the sideline during an NFL game last season and I was downright frightened by how fast the game is played, how hard the players hit, and how big most of them are. The NFL is a league of modern-day gladiators and they deserve to have some new rules in hopes that it will make the game safer.

    245, yup you got me…you’re so smart

    so fill the holes up for me genius…wiltjer plays more? poulson plays more? pretty much just like this year or am I too stu-stu-stupid to see that? Vargas would have played alot more right? And beckham if he wasn’t hurt?

    bottom line, AD, MKG, and Teague WOULD NOT win the title with the rest of the team they had around them(if you fill in those 3 holes)…so my point is you have to have veteran players and yes, CAN’T WIN WITH ONLY FRESHMAN playing on the team.

    And if you think next year, if they return, that Archie, Willie, Alex,& Kyle won’t play significant minutes and huge roles…well I just don’t know what to say to you

    Matt, you missed where Davidson is

  319. Rett English Says:

    Davidson’s in Davidson NC, so Ryan was correct http://www3.davidson.edu/cms/x12.xml?debug=2

  320. Daryl Dixon Says:

    315 – nope. not confused. you’re a silly silly person. that is pretty obvious. you also entertain me immensely. only took you what, 4 attempts to re-explain your argument. now you’re taking your ball home. again, you entertain me.

  321. Davey Boy Smith Says:

    Davidson is in a town called Davidson. Crazy, huh?

  322. 315 Says:

    315 why do you think that you know, what people can and cant do. Or is it all based by the grace of God, are you God?

  323. Mattcat68 Says:

    Geographically, if you were to circle Lexington, Louisville, Bloomington and loop Cincinnati on the way back to Lexington, that is the winningest region in college basketball. 17 National Championships. Yet everyone talks about tobacco road as the pinnacle of college basketball. If you want teams to lose in the first round, root against teams from tobacco road. I happen to think the greatest rivalries in basketball come from our region and I want that to be apparent so go UofL and IU!

    Oh and Ralph Sampson was the most dominant post player in the last 30 years.

  324. Daryl Dixon Says:

    322 – apparently he is god. he can see the future. but so could the amazing kreskin.

  325. BlueFins Says:

    Sharika=UL fan

  326. JoeMoney333 Says:

    If you are at the pearly gates, aren’t you already dead?

  327. Laker Cat 18 Says:

    I got your back Ryan. LOL.

  328. WTF Says:

    Maybe Chris Cross will have some insight on the Wiltjer rumor.

  329. raveen Says:

    324- I bet he looks like Raveen. The hypnotist, illusionist.

  330. WildcatByTheGraceOfGod Says:

    320, glad it’s all so crystal clear for you finally. Not sure where you got I was “taking my ball home” but hey, spin it how ever you need to so you can feel good. I hate the fact you can’t see thru your blue kool-aid lenses to be logical about needing veteran players and it’s not going to happen totally on freshman alone.

  331. SMH Says:

    With all Shannon’s talk about Big House bourbon, and Ryan’s spiel about big-assed women, I’m thinking bigger might be better

  332. WildcatByTheGraceOfGod Says:

    322 – that is one of my points precisely, you can’t count the freshman to be anything other than freshman. IF they win it all on their own next year, i’d gladly say I was wrong about “only freshman winning”

    It’s just unfair to expect that of them. That’s how we ended up losing to RMU in the NIT this season….mostly FRESHMAN playing and expected to carry the weight of the team and fans. It’s not fair to them…but hey, life isn’t fair is it, guess that’s the next thing you could throw out

  333. 332 Says:

    I think Matt got it right today. Those guys couldnt handle pressure. If you cant handle presure dont come here. Next year is different these guys will embrace it like. MKG,Wal,Davis,Cousin Noel and Stein did a good job embracing I thought, maybe it wasnt fair to throw that up on those guys like you said. BUT If you cant handle it maybe its not for you. When DAVIS MKG WALL those guys embrace the pressure WELL WE END UP LOSING 3 GAMES THOSE SEASONS

  334. Catlogic15 Says:

    308 Blue Fins… That was funny!

  335. Linda Taylor Says:

    303 – Are you serious? Ashley Judd has a Masters degree from Harvard. Many colleges would stand in line to hire her. With her humanitarian work she could head up any kind of foundation. Can you be as dumb as you sound or are you trying to make a political wisecrack that totally failed. I would imagine she has enough money saved up to completely retire if she wanted to, which I doubt because she has too much of a social conscience and desire to help others to not be active in some way.

  336. Soda Says:

    If we don’t get Wiggins, is Dominique Hawkins still an option? Would be nice to have the top two players in the state on this team too.
