I certainly don’t know if it’s true or not, but there’s been some talk that Keion will be attending the IU/Rutgers game. If this is true, it would be a
mighty good sign, right?

Keion’s decision date...
- Thread starter IULouie
- Start date
I agree about the tweet. The sad thing is he said when Romeo committed, that he should commit to Indiana, he’s an Indiana kid. But like others have said, I will not have ill feelings, he needs to do what is best for him. Personally I think that is helping his home state become a better team with him. The thing that is eye opening, those schools that stack their teams with OAD’s are not the teams winning the tournaments. Does anyone remember Cal’s white and blue platoons a few years ago?
Maybe he was tweeting dinner intentions and auto correct altered his "shell fish" as in "Time to be shell fish." Maybe he had a hankering for sea food, some Red Lobster. I try to stay positive in any way I can.
What does IU’s look like, or Duke, or Mich St?
Cal has over 40 NBA players I think...hate the Cats and hate Cal...but he puts kids in the NBA more than anyone else.
Those kids where going regardless. The one and done rule actually hurts these kids.
It’s a basketball forum. You must be lost. Stop posting, delete your account, take a few other knownothings with you, and we won’t say anything. Promise!
But guys see ones like VJ King that go to schools and dont get premiered...and realize what UK has been able to do...
He does shit to get kids in the NBA. Romeo, for example, was playing on a team that lost 13 or so straight games, and guess what, he was always a top 10 pick. It makes didly that kids go to UK, it is "their" talent that gets them to the NBA, not slime ball Cal.
“He puts kids in the NBA more than anyone else.”
No, he gets kids that are good enough to get to the league from ANYWHERE.
He’s a great recruiter, has a fine sales pitch. But the myth that Calipari “prepares” players better to get them to the NBA is nonsense, without any evidence to support it. The data I provided indicated that.
He’s a really good coach. But he’s not some miracle-working genius some think he is.
VJ King isn’t a good example. Kid is overrated so far. He wouldn’t have been any better at UK.
Credited you as one of the more sensible posters hereabouts, from whence comes this rubbish? After three years of rounding off the hard edges and imperfections in his game, you want Devonte to take a hike just when he's becoming the Player many imagined he could be?! His line from the Illinois game was on par with Phinisee's and with another summer of practice and conditioning under his belt, he and Rob could represent one of the more effective and devastatingly efficient backcourts in the NCAA. Or do you imagine that Basset and/or Aljami can/will bring near as much to the Team?
DG has perhaps more potential upside than anyone on the Roster - last thing I want to see is him leave just when he's finally starting to shine.
I think highly of coaches in smaller conferences and power5 that get a ton of mileage out of their players than a Coach K,Self Calapari or Izzo whom overload their teams with 5 stars and most of the time still don't win the tourney. They don't make these players better prepared for NBA. These kids already had the talent. It's the other coaches who help get players less well-known into the NBA that I admire. I didn't mention Roy Williams because I feel he is the biggest cheat in college basketball. He is top 5 in that catagory next to Sutton,Self,Calapari and Sean Miller.
It could possibly be argued that "Kentucky" on one's college resume is considered more prestigious now, psychologically or otherwise, than today's "Indiana". I mean, it HAS been almost 20 years now.
I think Green is a great one to spell Phinisee a "blow" as needed. He seems to have settled down somewhat and is making better decisions. Plus, if he gets hot from deep....opposition beware!
""Kentucky" on one's college resume is considered more prestigious." The idea that having UK on a college resume being prestigious in any way is extremely funny! LOL!
What Cal and Ky really provide for a kid is a nice waystation to serve as a stopover on the way to the NBA. Calipari does know how to train these guys and make them better individually, that has always been his strength as a coach. They get to live in a luxury environment without the distractions of being a "real" college student. They get to play against the best possible competition outside "The League". They are treated like gods and compensated well. And 35 or so times a year they get to entertain 23 thousand rabid (and I mean that literally), inbred hillbillies in gravy-stained blue sweatshirts who live vicariously through UK basketball (the closest the vast majority of them will ever get to an actual college experience of any kind).
Short of immediate admission to the NBA, it's the most a kid who really doesn't want a college education could expect. It makes a mockery of the concept of student-athlete and the whole supposed mission of the NCAA, but let's be honest, the concept of student-athlete as it relates to Division I basketball was abandoned by the NCAA years ago.
Getting ready to be only 20,000. Rupp is getting renovated in the upper seating area.
....said no NBA talent scout, E-V-E-E-R-R-R-R, in my best Khardashian whiney little voice of no substance.
lol ........... so typical.
Time to educate you, Cletus.

Way Station noun
Definition of way station
1 : a station set between principal stations on a line of travel (such as a railroad)
2 : an intermediate stopping place
I will give you credit for knowing it is two words, though. Oh, and we do understand the other station, the weigh stations truckers our forced to use periodically.
Damn, you beat me by two minutes!
My error is that "way station" is two words rather than one. So in the context I used it, Cletus, that is the correct verbiage. A "weigh station" is something altogether different you pompous douchebag. So in fact I did get something out of my IU degrees. You need to invest in a dictionary, fu#ktard. (No, that word won't be found there, but it's the most accurate description of you available).
The next time you call someone out in a battle of wits, make sure you don't show up with an empty holster. As for getting a college education, that one-and-a-half semesters Cal's boys actually spend on campus must be the ultimate crash course.
I would assume that you are a butt-hurt Kentucky fan, but the fact that you know the term "weigh station" is a dead giveaway that you aren't from the Commonwealth. So I will assume you are just another incarnation of Ordfan using yet another new username. Either way, you can retreat in shame.
Thanks for the assist, gentlemen. I was typing a much longer reply to this idiot while you two were correcting him.
Little does she know we were both faking it - the grunts, groans and sighs from between the thighs weren't sincere.
Damn, Man, you are good as better gets! That said, my grandfather had a dairy farm near Decatur, IN (halfway between Magley and Preble, off I-69's Markle exit). I'm sure he had a whey station somewhere in that utilitarian barn of his.
