"His recruiting classes started taking a "dip" way before NIL when K took hold of USA basketball and Nike."

This makes zero sense. Coach K was made head coach of the USA national team back in 2005 and coached the Olympics in 08, 12 and 16. Cal didn't even start at UK until 2009.

His basketball class rankings on 24/7 since then (their site only goes back to 2011):

2011: 1
2012: 1
2013: 1
2014: 2
2015: 1
2016: 2
2017: 2
2018: 2
2019: 2
2020: 1
2021: 2
2022: 5
there is UK fans' exhibit A for the Cal-hate. you gotta do much better with that much talent for that long. should also serve as a cautionary tale for TX, but i'd love for him to go to Austin when they join SEC and get beat down by KY under a competent coach twice a year.

alternately, KY hires the guy that sucks and that's a poopshow too. its just fun to watch the soap operas, these cliffhangers leave me guessing...
Scott Drew to uk
It's the only choice that makes sense, in a Kinfucky sorta way.

I was really confused why Kentucky would be playing UMass.

Now realizing that you may have missed the news that Frank Martin left USC.

Ah, yea.

As soon as I said it, I then wondered if Frank was still there. Go figure. Thanks for the correction.

Either way, go cocks! Just went up 11 at the under 4

Wasn’t UK at least good for most of last year tho?

UNC was pretty mediocre for much of last year til they just so happened to win 5 games at the right time, so their continued mediocrity is maybe a little more understandable

For sure. We've had a long run of good coaching hires.

I still think Hubert is the right man for the job @ UNC. He's a good dude. Worked under a legendary coach for a long time.

Agree with this, UK was better and UNC struggled through the year.

But, can you imagine a Bill Self team that returned the core, like 3-4 starters from a national runner-up team ever falling out of the rankings the next season? He'd be more likely to go 40-0.

With the cocks trying their best to loose it, too.


That’s also worth a mention. They’re an SEC bottom feeder. It’s not like UK is loosing at home to top teams.

Cocks now a whopping 3-29 in Rupp

i think this speaks directly to the teaching/development part of what Self and co. do…sustained, top shelf success
