      Yeah I'd like to see him pick FSU just for something different, I'm still jealous you guys got XRM I think hes going to be awesome, really wish he had picked Illinois but Groce got in on him too late and couldn't make up enough ground.

        My reason for not enjoying CBB is pretty simple really. The style of play has gotten way too physical. And like I said if Cal can't win in today's CBB with a squad of top 10 recruits he should resign. I am sticking by that point. It looks like CBB is going the Lebron route.

        I for one hate that.

          What do you mean the style of play has gotten too physical, It's not physical enough, way too many soft players.

          Calipari may bring in some nasty classes, but it's not a sure thing we are gonna win it every year, It's not we have Kevin Durant's and Lebron James's coming in every year, there is plenty of parity in college basketball. And March is always a crapshoot. I can't agree with what you said even a little bit.

            Agree.. Ben Howland losing with Westbrook, Collison, Love, Mbah a Moute, 4 starters, 2 of which are currently top 5 at their position, is a much bigger failure than Cal losing with a team that looks like Randle and Wiggins would be the only ones to start on an NBA team in the future.. Poythress/Goodwin/WCS would maybe start in the D-League..

              Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

              I completely forgot about that. Absolutely disgusting roster.

              If anything it looks like Florida may be the favorite if they return a couple of starters from this year. Kasey Hill is the best point guard in this class and Walker looks like Amare 2.0.

                Andrew Harrison is the best PG in this class, and it isn't close imo.

                  I'll be fine as long as UK doesn't get Wiggins. I really think that kid might be the next star in the NBA. If UK pulls him in, on top of what they already have coming in, I mean it would just be overkill at that point. Spread the talent around lol

                    McDonalds game is next week and right now Wiggins is I believe on team East with Isaiah Hicks and Kennedy Meeks (who is actively recruiting him to UNC) Hope he likes the connection and commits to UNC soon after.

                      He's going to go crazy between UNC players and UK players recruiting him (Randle and Dakari Johnson are on the same team as well). They will all be in his ear, I'm sure.

                        Maybe all the recruiting from UNC and UK will annoy him and he'll chose Florida ?

                                No, they aren't. He likely meant FSU since they have been in it for so long and his parents went there.

                                Will be interesting to see where he goes, several people are now saying that FSU isn't really in it anymore and it's down to UNC and UK. But that's just gossip at this point and who knows if its true. With that said, I am hoping he comes to UK. Very interested to see how this group gels and with so much talent (with or without Wiggins), Calipari may have his hands full. From everything I can gather it appears this group are much more mentally and physically strong so hopefully the growing pains won't be so bad.

                                If it all comes together, they can be scary good.
