Orlando Tubby Smith - "Firsts and Worsts"

Doc Holliday Wrote:Sniper I like your list its show me two things:

First you are a true blue fan who views the program not thru blue goggles but with a keen eye.

The most troubling thing I found in your post is that 47% of his recruits havent made it to their senior year!

The reason I find it so troubling is that Tubby has said the reason he didn't go after Blue Chip players is because they wouldn't stay, that they would bolt after 2 years.

This is a quote from the CJ.
"Tubby builds his classes toward senior leadership, and I think you'll see more coaches trending that way," Barnhart said. "If a coach is genuinely concerned about the long-term stability of the program and not with selfish interests, he's going to have to bring in people who are committed to staying four years."


So why is it so low?

Thanks for the compliment, Doc Holiday. True, I am a UK fan who does not see the UK basketball program through Blue Goggles as do many here. I see the UK program as one in decline and in need of repair. Tubby Smith has taken a once proud program and reduced it nearly to rubble. Recruiting is a joke, NCAA tourney play is a joke, and the chat boards around the Commonwealth are screaming for his removal. Kentucky Basketball deserves better.
