Best musical group, The Darlings. Just ahead of Bobby Fleet and His Band with the Beat.Gotta be one of my favorite TV characters of all time. Top 5 off the top of my head, in no particular order: Earnest T, Jim Rockford, Newman, Jeanie (I Dream Of), and Audra Barkley (Linda Evans) on The Big Valley. F me, I'm old! HM to Kramer. Apologies to Winnie Cooper. Who did I leave out?
That hasn't been working in Durham lately, either.True. We'll see what he can do with transfers.
I would assume it's easier to build a culture with guys who stay with a program for a few years rather than a group of mercenaries who will only be around for a year. Who knows if any transfers into UK will actually stick around.
Fleet’s band was never the same once Jim Lindsey left and went out on his own. He later washed out and took a gig as a deputy sheriff in Hazzard County.Best musical group, The Darlings. Just ahead of Bobby Fleet and His Band with the Beat.
And Tom Crean made a final four with Dwayne Wade...Memphis too with Rose
Where did he say that? I can't find it anywhere.Dakich is reporting Brooks is in the portal. Anyone hearing this?
On his show. Rupp rafters poster saying it too. Not sure if it’s bait that’s why I’m asking.🤣Where did he say that? I can't find it anywhere.
His deputy Cletus played some mean spoons. I meant Enos. I feel so bad about myself.Fleet’s band was never the same once Jim Lindsey left and went out on his own. He later washed out and took a gig as a deputy sheriff in Hazzard County.
I heard him say today also on his show this afternoon!On his show. Rupp rafters poster saying it too. Not sure if it’s bait that’s why I’m asking.🤣
My interest in him is that he rebounds at a high rate. He averaged 11.5 rebs per 40 minutes last year v. 8.8 for Race. He did shoot poorly on 3s, but at least he didn't take lots of them. He's fairly efficient shooting 2s and shot 80% on FTs last year. But the bottom line is we need someone to make up for Race's rebounding & D if he's gone.I'm not sure why the focus on what Keion does. He hasn't proven a thing so far at UK, stats are mediocre to poor (21.7% from 3 pt.), not even a consistent starter. I doubt he could really help IU all that much other than he shoots FT well. Could someone enlighten me as to his value? Why would we want him anyway, he took UK! over IU.
I would take him in a heartbeat the kid can playSome smoke over on BTB and KY rivals that Brooks is entering the portal and IU might be the end game. I'm not buying it, and not sure I would get exited if it were true...but, there are more whispers out there today.
We knew this spring would be different but damn...it's a flea market. Or maybe better analogy is "garage sale" ?
He only averaged 1.75 three-point attempts per game in 16 games played last season. Yes, 21.4% from three is atrocious, but it's not as if he was a high-volume shooter with that percentage. I'd be interested to see if the IU staff could help him find his stroke...I'm not sure why the focus on what Keion does.

2 Elite 8’s and 1 Sweet 16 in the 4 years since undefeated regular season and we have gotten worse???That’s just it. Even the veterans are leaving. After that undefeated season they have gotten worse.
Here is the official portal per ncaa.org. He is not listed.Dakich is reporting Brooks is in the portal. Anyone hearing this?
Brooks is a very talented player. Would be the most talented player on IU if he transferred here. Problem is that Brooks (and mom and dad) were sold on the idea that simply attending Kentucky makes him an NBA player. It's not how it works. He was recruited into a log jam at his position and playing time wasn't there as a freshman. He was injured to start this year and thrown into a team with no chemistry and everyone playing for the name on the back of their jersey.I'm not sure why the focus on what Keion does.

Juzang was an absolute stud during the tourney.Brooks is a very talented player. Would be the most talented player on IU if he transferred here.

Put Brooks in the right system with the right coaching where the mindset isn't being an NBA farm system and he could thrive. We've seen plenty of Kentucky recruits who were sold the same false bill of goods, transfer out and have major success. Charles Matthews resurrected his career at Michigan. Johnny Juzang was by far and away the best player in this last tournament and may have just played his way into the lottery.
And you would have never believed it if you watched him last year. Avg 2 points in 12 minutes before transferring to UCLA where was actually coached and developed.Juzang was an absolute stud during the tourney.
Yeah, for one thing it’s hard not to get “worse” after a nearly perfect season. Up until this year, Kentucky has continued to be solid under Calipari. Not sure what happened this year, but I wouldn’t expect it to last long.2 Elite 8’s and 1 Sweet 16 in the 4 years since undefeated regular season and we have gotten worse???
• 2016-17 Elite 8 loss to eventual Champ UNC on a last second shot

If the whispers/rumblings/rumors about Keion Brooks transferring to IU are true and Armaan Franklin chooses to return to IU, that would fill out 13 full scholarship spots. If that happens, I will pull a Stone Cold Steve Austin with two 16-ounce Budweisers in a state of pure joy.
No disrespect to Stone Cold. I'm honestly not sure why I had Budweisers in mind.The NCAA allows 13 scholarships for each team. With Brunk taking advantage of the free COVID year, he does not count against the scholarship limit. Here's how the roster currently breaks down by seniority:

There are over 1000 players in the portal. I don’t think that list is exactly correct or up to date.Here is the official portal per ncaa.org. He is not listed.

I would agree with that. Personally, I wouldn't place any set of expectations on a team that includes Brooks and Franklin. I'm content to sit back and see what happens. After four years of Archie ball, I'd be happy simply to see the team play hard and have good body language.Say what you want, but if that's the roster on opening night (with Brooks and Franklin) there will be expectations next year.
I just checked her "likes" on Twitter as well. I hate to read into stuff like that, especially after Armaan and Trayce drove to Fort Wayne to attend Keion Brooks' announcement ceremony only to see him pick the UK hat. I thought those two going up there was a sure sign Brooks to IU was a lock.India liked about 100 posts on race coming back. I’m assuming Franklin follows suit. We better freaking win next year.
Yeah, far from the "official" portal.There are over 1000 players in the portal. I don’t think that list is exactly correct or up to date.
Fwiw, there was/is a thread on the UK rivals site about it.I still don't see anything real on twitter or google to confirm that this Brooks story has any legs to it.
If that meant anything, we'd have Stevens, Donovan, Beard, Drew and Alford on our bench.Fwiw, there was/is a thread on the UK rivals site about it.
It's what the ncaa.org lists as the most completeThere are over 1000 players in the portal. I don’t think that list is exactly correct or up to date.
Yes, to be fair I should not have said "official." Obviously the official portal is only accessed through an ID and PW that NCAA athletic institutions have.Yeah, far from the "official" portal.

Really? Got any proof? 14 years not 1 NCaa violations. But some of you goofs still jump right to that. Hey sweaty I do believe IU , UNC , Duke and many others have gotten caught with their hand in the cookie jar since Cal has been at UK. But stick to whatever makes you forget about your own programs issues.I thought that was why they went to Kentucky to begin with. One and done and show me the money. Of course with the histories of Kentucky Basketball and Coach Cal. they may be showing them the Money before they get to Campus,
