College Basketball RANT

I would love to know how many pieces of mail and phone calls Anthony Davis and MKG got from all the schools. On another thread, an IU fan said he was glad Indiana did not recruit the one and done kids. I said just because they didn't sign with IU doesn't mean they were not recruited. Who knows the one and done kids may stay a couple of years. Lamb, Jones and Teague are not lottery picks so they may return. MKG says he wants his degree so who knows. Love to have all 3 back. Bottom line is EVERY big time program in College Basketball is recruiting the best high school kids. Cal just happens to get the best of the best and people can't stand it

Thats because Cal has huge payroll. All of the teams cheat Cal just knows how to not get caught.

That's not personal it's figurative. Once again I never said I was a Pitino fan so your comment is futile. I'm done arguing I feel myself stooping down to Ia level I'm not comfortable with.

You are not a KY Wildcat fan, you are a fanatic. There is a big difference in the two. Also you are just a Wildcat basketball fanatic because you have made it clear on several ocassions that you don't like the football program because you all can't win I guess. I am a Cards fan and I never once have said I am a Pitino fan. I don't try to get in a pissing match with everyone on here that says something I don't agree with wether it be sports or political related or just anything I don't agree with I have better things to do with my like than to be a computer comando. I understand your passion for the Cats and Cal but you don't have to type your lust for them all the time or yoou are gonna get people sick and tired of hearing your one closed minded opinions.

Why should everyone have to hit the ignore button?
Can we instead hit a button requesting you to be put on hand raising status?

Enough is enough!

How many of the top programs in College Basketball have had One and Done kids? The answer is ALL OF THEM!!!

The NBA Rule is that a kid must be 1 year removed from High School before he can enter the NBA Draft. This is not Calipari's rule, it is the NBA

Whether one school or all schools do one and doner's consistantly...or whether they have done it in the past, it still doesn't make it right in my opinion. Despite what a physical freak of nature any kid may be at the age of 19 or 20...in my opinion they're not mentally ready for the world.

I think the NBA rule is stupid...one year removed from high school, hogwash!...NBA is money hungry like any other entity in America. All these kids getting sleeves full of ink before they're even twenty, like they don't have to worry about a thing in life except for getting rebounds...all that could dissappear for any of them in the blink of an eye...next thing you know they're wearing cheap polyester suits trying to sell used cars because all they ever knew how to do is get the rebound.

On the flip side...this is America, home of the brave, home of the free...at 18 you can go to war, so why not play in the NBA for millions? I guess because I think it ain't right, and this is my opinion on the subject. Then others will argue a young man could get hurt in college ball and NEVER see a million dollar contract...this is true...but at least if it he didn't have the blinders on and was so hell bent on the NBA instead of a true degree, then perhaps not getting tha big contract might not be such a big deal? I don't know...
