Calipari adding 7’3 foreign center projected a 2nd round pick next year. The NCAA needs to do something as this is worse than the NBA concerning stacking teams. I hate Calipari with a passion, he’s everything wrong with college sports.

Naw the elephant in the room with this kid is how the heck could he be eligible whatsoever this late in the game ? I 've read multiple articles on his overseas professional play and working out for NBA teams earlier this year. Not being a hater but if this kid is allowed to play at any univsersity it just shows the NCAA is still a joke. Here U of L like other schools are having issues with getting a kid cleared over a course or two. SMH!.Calipari adding 7’3 foreign center projected a 2nd round pick next year.

Football is just as bad.College hoops is gone. I no longer hold out any hope for its saving. I just hope football doesn't follow the same path.
And this is coming from a Cards fan who has always preferred hoops over the gridiron. No more.

ESPN and the NCAA want Kentucky to be relevant again so bad it’s nauseating 🤮. They won’t even look into this situation as they remind me of the democrats and msm.Per KSR,Matt Jones SMH
"Unlike a normal high school recruit, things are a little more complicated in this scenario, considering Ivisic plays for a professional team. There is a minor buyout involved and Jack Pilgrim reports that his agent, Misko Raznatovic, is known as the Rich Paul of international basketball. However, assuming they can work out NIL money and eligibility."
That too but Kentucky could get away with buying the Lakers. The NCAA and ESPN would just turn their heads and whistle. Heck I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Calipari becomes the first college coach to be allowed to give an exNBA player a scholarship. That’s probably in the future of this circus called college basketball.
19 going on 20 . Been on a pro team the last two years has red flags written all over it. However the way the NCAA is operating now nothing to see people amazing.I am sure this guy won't hurt UK. He will help and improve. It's just kinda odd that there has not been much talk about a possible 2nd rd NBA draft pick until now and he just happens to join a college team 3 months before the season
This feels like a pretty good write up. I haven't seen him so I can't offer any opinion on him or his impact. But if this is how you are calling it, then he probably doesn't have impact in too many games.I honest to God don’t think that kid will have much of an impact on their season and I’ve really surprised at how he’s being viewed by all of the UK media and fans.
He’s a lanky, super tall, foreign kid. His game has been developed in international play and it’s more of an outside/in style which means he’ll be a massive liability on defense. He shot a number of 3s but was only a 30% shooter.
I’ll eat crow but I swear I think his impact will be minimal.
He’s a decent prospect. I’ll admit I haven’t watched him much but I have seen him play a little. He’s got soft hands and decent handle for a kid his size. But like you said - I don’t trust Cal with kids like him. Plus kids of his size/build - super tall/lanky rarely come in and take the college game by storm. I would say if Ugo and Bradshaw are healthy he will play sparingly. If not he may play at little more but I don’t see a scenario where he’s anything more than the 7th or 8th guy off the bench at best.This feels like a pretty good write up. I haven't seen him so I can't offer any opinion on him or his impact. But if this is how you are calling it, then he probably doesn't have impact in too many games.
I'll add Cal is the HC and he really hasn't shown much with a player of the kind you're describing.
It's hard for me to have much energy for any of it but if I was really into it I'd be more worried if they added the ready-made vet from Michigan that chose KU, or something like that. But they didn't.
So they are probably just going to be up and down with those young guys and hopefuly they flame out like they've been doing lately.

1 f’n player out of numerous shady players during his time at UK. Don’t act coy with me….the NCAA annually overseeds sUcK and ESPN showcases them taking a shit. The MF’er is a professional and Calipari is slime.I bet you would have a hard time convincing Enes Kanter of this.
Almost 20 ,has been a pro for 2 years .Our local afraid to talk about UK silentNot sure how this works but how can a kid play professionally and be eligible? Talk about a mess if they allow it.
Sad when your university is in a state’s largest city and it’s media is chicken shit.Almost 20 ,has been a pro for 2 years .Our local afraid to talk about UK silent
But not surprising as they mostly undercover UK fans anyway.
The Kentucky loophole rule allowed by the NCAA to certain programs in cbb.Not sure how this works but how can a kid play professionally and be eligible? Talk about a mess if they allow it.
I'll never forget Dick Vitale saying. That if Enes Kanter was at any other school in the country other than Kentucky, that the NCAA would let him play. I also remember several years back when Calipari won his 500th game as a college coach. UK put up a banner to honor his 500th win, the NCAA made UK take it down. Oh yeah, the NCAA really loves Kentucky. Believe me I'm not on here to defend Calipari. If you read my posts on Rupp Rafters you will realize that no one wants him gone anymore than I do. But the NCAA is no friend of UK basketball.1 f’n player out of numerous shady players during his time at UK.

What difference does it make if Calipari does have a stacked roster. Kentucky ain't winning crap as long as he's the head coach.Calipari adding 7’3 foreign center projected a 2nd round pick next year.

Wonder 🤔 why Vitale would say that to UK? Click click maybe 🤷♂️I'll never forget Dick Vitale saying.

That’s not the pointWhat difference does it make if Calipari does have a stacked roster. Kentucky ain't winning crap as long as he's the head coach.
I’m with you but I’ve always been a gridiron guy first. I went to two MBB games last year not sure I attend any this year, as KP is a Cards problem, but my issues are much deeper. My issues are college sports issues. Losing interest and quicklyCollege hoops is gone. I no longer hold out any hope for its saving. I just hope football doesn't follow the same path.
And this is coming from a Cards fan who has always preferred hoops over the gridiron. No more.
