didn’t know it was physically possible to have the hair on my arms stand up while simultaneously getting a chub in the suit pants, at the same time…involuntarily.
I have problem with the revenge name. If u add the recruits to the core returning players, the name Avengers seems more in line with what will be happening next year.
Fab Five a thing of the past. Whats this group’s name. Call them the SCINTILLATING SEVEN? (I don’t like leaving Willis off of any reference to the other 6. Not fair to him. He is a 4Star according to some services and I believe UK Fans should enter his name into every conversation possible.) Sidenote: I’m not related to Derek Willi…and its not like Ray Jackson was that great anyway…he was carried on the coattails of the other 4.
8: I looked both words up…and don’t see a diff between AVENGE and REVENGE. But I thought the same thing and then realized I was thinking too hard about it. It’s not revenge against any team. It’s revenge against mediocrity. It’s revenge against those who insulted our UK name. It’s avenging our reputation. As “avengers” or a team “seeking revenge”, we will play with a chip on our shoulders. We will make others pay for their laughing at us this year.
H.A. Milton Says: Initial steps/moves are made in early April (when a kid declares for the draft). But the nail-in-the-coffin date is the day they can pull out of draft and maintain eligibility with NCAA. In recent years, that pull-out date has fallen sometime between April 20th and May 10th. So as long as they don’t sign an agent or have a third party assist in the costs to work out for NBA teams, they can enter in early April, then pull out in late April or Early May and still be good to go for the Cats next fall.
The way NCAA eligibility rules are (very ridiculous), and knowing that CAL has never had recruiting violations (but been bitten in the butt by the actions of a couple kids); we can only hope that him and the Assistants and Sandy Bell are on their game with the 4 freshman. The CATS STAFF really needs to make sure every dollar is accounted for as they go to workout for teams or put their foot in the NBA Waters….that and the agent thing. We all remember how hairy that Randolph Morris situation got.
#14 – Archie, Wiltjier, Caulie-Stein, and Poythress could seek revenge; however, because the newcomers will not have experienced the injury of mediocrity, they can only avenge what befell their new brethren. You can’t have revenge on something if it hasn’t happened to you, but you can avenge those to whom the injury has occurred.
Thanks for clearing that up 29. His twitter handle or at least his YouTube username should have been included in that post. When they embed videos like that you can’t see who posted it. I checked his page out and he’s posted some other pretty sick videos.
It’s a nicely done video but I don’t see the need for revenge If there’s anything revengeful, it’s the way this year’s team played. Kind of hard to “revenge” against yourself.
Cal is sitting down with every player today and tomorrow to discuss their future at UK. He is most likely going to tell them if you want to stay here you will have to commit to changing, if not then there’s the door. I have been told that Harrow most likely transfers, he graduates early, so he will be a graduate student, and will be allowed to play anywhere as long as that school offers a major UK doesn’t. Wiltjer is not leaving and I believe Poythress, Goodwin, and Willie all stay and then in about 2 weeks we will be adding Wiggins, since we currently lead for him over UNC.
Maybe this video would make more sense to have been posted after the tourney instead of during, especially if UL or IU doesn’t win it all. I think it looks silly to be bragging about next year when we’re still in the middle of the tournament and one of them is probably going to win it all.

Still got wood…
Wonder if Brian Long appreciates not being in this?
My Lord. I can’t wait till next year. Going to be epic

Any idea when we should hear about who’s going to return?

#10, I think they have to declare with in a week of the title game now. +/- couple days.
Great use of “Rise” from the Dark Knight Rises.

I say we invite Big Black from Rob and Big to a game next year. That’ll shut him up

Three teams Cal? Does that mean UK will be ranked 1,2,and 3? Your damn right!!!

Cant help but notice the absence of Harrow! Uh-oh!
Lets just call them “the Monstars”…shout out to Space Jam
20. His jersey is hanging, and he is in a clip at :31 seconds, try your drama somewhere else
How about waiting until the roster is set? Good lord.
Anybody else get the chills watching that?
23) Regardless of the roster makeup, we’re going to be a nasty team.
#8,13,14
“Avengers” yep
Dark Knight Rises, good call.
That made me want to jump out of my chair at work and yell!!. I CANT WAIT!!!
Who makes these videos!?!
Amazing!
THis video was made by Brandon Carlisle, @BigCat_22 I’m sure he’d be ok with that being mentioned instead of it saying CN2 at the bottom.
How bout “Infinity plus one”
Looks like we have our big blue madness opening video.. wow!
I’m pumped!!
What are we seeking revenge for again? The inability to play 40 solid minutes? I dont think revenge is the correct word, I would use redemption.

34- I agree. But man.. I hope its a slaughter house. I hope when the other team is down, we stop their throats in. This next class will be special.
#13 I vote we start using the Deshi Basara chant from dark knight rises at the start of games. It’s just flat out intimidating.
I think we kinda need a Contest for the LOGo let the Players decide winner get’s 4 tickets behind the bench for a game od there choice
We should use that chant!
20 harrows in there, it was a quick shot, its at 32 seconds.

Why does the sound suck on this video for the iPhone? Cool video but the lack of good sound ruins it for me. Fix the sound
41… Maybe it’s your iPhone… Worked fine on mine.
REVENGE, I LOVE IT!!
NO PRISONERS!!
That scene with Archie in the mirror and then his monstrous dunks! Goosebumps! Go Cats!!
AVENGERS!! Works for me!!
yes. yes. yes. yes. YES. YES. yes. this. lots of this.
