Agreed. They will be fine. Bring in Poole and Kanter alone is a big time pick up and then throw in a leaning Knight, Leslie and Lamb and you have a stellar class build for a little more than one year.

I think the cats have more than 2 lottery picks?? right? Oh and i wasnt saying the cats would have a horrible season and go tot he NIT but they certainly will not have the talent they had this season...and that is a good thing! They may keep a player for 2 years lol

Yea :biggrin: I mean it is going to be a more spread out class, and will alway for Cal to have a solid foundation for years to come, with bringing in 1 or 2 4 stars that is how you can keep the strong players to stay but he will still be able to get the one and doners.

Look at the final four teams! Theyhad several Juniors and seniors! I mean UK's top 9 or 10 players had never played in the NCAA tourney

:Thumbs:Your right.

Next season the worse that they'll finish in the sec is 3rd. But I guarentee that they never leave the top 25.

Uk will comeout ranked and fall a little but they will finish with a good record alon the sweet 16 or elite 8 think...Im like expierence getting past the elite 8 though and they still lack that

I say a sweet 16 run and SEC reg championship next year. Maybe not the tourney championship but should set their self up for a 2 or 3 seed.

But one thing he has never really did is build a team with acquired chemistry.
He brings in these lottery picks that are one and done and he's never won a championship. He's gotten close several times but his teams always crack under pressure and lose games that they should win.
He has been to the final four twice but neither of them are recognized by NCAA records because of recruiting violations and ineligible players.
I just hope he brings in some kids that want to play ball and maybe get a degree while they're at it so if we have some freshmen choke next year we'll have something to build on.

Good post.

Coach Cal is the best at getting the one-and-done hired guns. UK will be in Final Four in the next two or three years.
