Also just want to point out. Do u think Darius Miller or Josh Harrelson would've played in te nba if it wasn't for Cal? Cause I sure don't.

You think Cal developed those players? LOL....that's hilarious. And neither one is seeing the floor much. Those guys were going to get a chance. Harrelson especially. Cal doesn't get anyone to the NBA....because they would be there anyway if they could. Declaring a group of top five players is so subjective. Smith doesn't need a UK fan's justification to be a top five player. Where he started and where he is now is what college basketball is all about. He is going to get his shot and a DEGREE. He is going to be ok either way. He is one of the best players in college basketball period. And he is a student/athlete. Not a one and done. Pretty good coaching...and if you look at Pitino's tenure at UK...he developed some good players there. He didn't haul a class of one and dones in and feed the "instant gratification" of needy UK fans. He rebuilt the program the right way....and I enjoyed watching them play.
