Senior day for u of k is not important. Neither is celebrating a player with at least 1000 points scored in a career. If they do have a senior day it's either a transfer, walk on, or the coaches son. There are two things that matter to big blue, NBA draft night, and when is coach Krzyzewski going to retire.
I am not real good with names of the sUcK players because outside of when they play Louisville I don't watch them. Sometimes when I am scanning through TV and their game is on I will catch a minute or two. That on top of the fact they are only there one season they are not remembered.
Before Calipari you had a college team I would know more of your players names. They used to be there 4 years so I would see them play 4 times. You should know who I am talking about unless you can't remember the name of your own players because of the same reasons.

Understandable. I have no trouble remembering the names of our players so I can help you out. There is no Blakey. There’s is an Antonio Blakney who was recruited by Louisville (possibly committed) but ultimately went to LSU. He was tied up in the Powell scandal.
As far as your assertion that several UK players admitted to not attending class I can also tell you this is false. This includes cousins. As a matter of fact a quick google search will find you an instance where cousins said he misses going to class at Kentucky. He really enjoyed his college experience.
Now I heard Cal say that the Draft was the most important night in UK basketball history and Cal wouldn't lie. With Coach K getting all the big time One and done kids now Cal has to rely on his coaching ability and you know he's screwed with that.
Sorry but that is not false the player I am talking about is the player that had that tussle with former Louisville player I believe it was Rozier. There was a big deal made about and it made him look foolish.
Well, you're wrong on both accounts. If players dont go to class in the second semester it harms the next years APR.
As for Cousins, he said no such thing. Bobby Knight claimed they didn't go to class and Cousins told him to get his facts straight.
Yup. You heard cal say that for sure. So did I. But you said that’s all “big blue” cares about. That’s a blanket statement and it’s false. Trust me, the fans have different priorities. The thing with K is just silly
Are you talking about when cousins elbowed swopshire? Either way, nobody has admitted to not going to class. Orton is our only black eye. He’s pretty much exiled from anything UK today
No I'm not talking about when Cousins elbowed Swopshire. I am talking about not to long ago in an NBA game Rozier embarrassed Bledsoe on the court. When a reporter asked about his inability to stop Rozier Bledsoe responded by saying he couldn't remember Rozier name. The sports media had a field day with him making Bledsoe look foolish.
I'm also not talking about the Bobby Knight comment where he said none of the sUcK players went to class after January during the 2010 season. I am talking about the comment Cousins and Bledsoe made after they left that they didn't go to class after January. There are only 2 sUcK players that were any good and played that received there degrees that I know of and that was Patrick Patterson and Darius Miller. I am sure some of the players who walked on got their degrees.

Our APR was 979 for that academic year and that was caused by Orton who didn't finish the academic year. Bledsoe and Cousins never said that.
You can add Poythress, Harrelson, Hawkins and more to your graduation list.
I don't have a graduation list you do and you just listed 3 more players plus the 2 I mentioned. So that is 5 players since 2010 I hate to say it but that's not that impressive.
Whether we like it or not, most are there to prepare for the NBA. They go to class, mostly get good grades, and they finish academic years. You wont like it but our APR is slightly higher than UL's during Cals time. I'm not dissing UL in any way, you constantly have a good APR.
Bledso played for only one season in 2010. Rozier played from 13-15 or something like that. Can you just admit that you’re making this up?
Like I said I don't have a list of your players I don't even know the names of your players. I started this thread because of what the Florida fans were saying. Unfortunately they are not the only fan base making these claims. Bruce Pearl of Auburn has come out and made comments and so has Paul Finebaum who is voice of the SEC talk radio.
Most of what I have posted has been all over talk radio, TV and on google. Most of your players never get a degree because they aren't there for that. They are there because they have to be because the rules of the NBA. Your coach is connected to WWW and he is funneling players there.

Cyanide, you need to read my post and then comprehend what was posted. The friction between Rozier and Bledsoe didn't happen in college it just recently happened in the NBA as I posted.
No one is denying that UK has become a farm system for NBA players. We know that. You claimed that our players have admitted that they didn’t attend class and that’s false. There was also a claim that uk players don’t go to class and the APR refutes that as well. That said, the assertion by Florida fans about PJ is pretty funny. Good stuff.
The incident in the NBA did happen. Bledsoe may not have known Rozier then but after that game he did.
A lot of under cover duke fans ITT
I’d hate to brag about another team beating someone

Where? I haven’t read this thread like that. Kentucky is on a good run, but let’s be real, your schedule hasn’t been that tough. The best two teams that you’ve played recently, both had their big man out with injuries. Beating Florida, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Georgia, doesn’t mean you’re an elite team.

Never did I say that's all big blew cared about. I said it's the most important thing to their basketball programs. Just an NBA development team. 6 months and they are gone. Like mercenaries . Do you really think they care what the fans think or anything about the school? Just a glorified AAU team.
I'm sure they are taking some tough classes and really working toward that degree.
“There are two things that matter to big blue”......that’s your post word for word.
You’re right. I meant to refer to another users post. The original post that contained the comment. At any rate, that blanket comment is false.
Louisville North Carolina and Kansas are three good wins regardless of how you want to spin it.
Kansas obviously would be better with Azabuike but should we have spotted hem points? They still likely win the Big 12 even without him.
And you’re not going to hear me complaining about winning road games in conference. We still get the #1 team twice BTW
But Our schedule is always a big talking point over here though so by all means don’t let me interrupt that
Okay, duke fan
Again. Pretty telling when you have almost an entire fan base hiding behind another teams victory in the first game of the year. That’s how I know we are looking good now
This thread was started about how the SEC doesn't really embrace sUcK instead they mock them. It has morphed into something other than what was intended.
Man....you think Duke would be better without Barrett. Your street creed is nonexistent after that thread. Lol
