Well said, and I completely agree. I think most of what happens here is just cyber-trash talking. Most people know that they can get away with it, not have to worry about any kind of face to face confrontation, and they take advantage of that and just bash, bash, bash on here. Not the best way to go about trying to change someone's mind, but that's the world we live in....
One comment though, about the baggage....Any school that claims they did not pursue John Wall, or didn't want them on their team is simply lying. He's lights out, phenomenal, and worth the scholarship....so far. Still has a lot to prove, we can't forget that, but all signs point to him being an All-American for sure.
However, what about the Sydney kid that went to Miss. St. (i think). He's suppose to be carrying a lot of baggage and risk, and I'm pretty sure UK and most other schools stayed away from him. I know I don't have the inside scoop on the recruiting world like some of you on here do, but to my knowledge UK did it's best to not get mixed up in his drama. So I might have to disagree with you on that point...while kids do make mistakes, sometimes you have to look at the big picture and pass on a kid that seems to be nothing but trouble. One kid can take down your entire program if the right scandal or allegation takes place. Just my opinion though.
Other than that, I say we sit back and watch our players/coaches do all the talking for us. We haven't accomplished anything as of now, except for an exhibition win, so let's all get excited but also remember we've got a young team and a tough non-conference schedule coming up.
YEAH COACH CAL AND THE CATS!!!
