Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 2649549, member: 237"] It goes back to the point of we just don't know along with also how many of those guys were a reality? There are legit questions about what went down to pull quade to UK vs us. Otherwise UK offers something we don't and never will in terms of being a one and done destination school. Also there are ample questions about improprieties. Duval and Tucker went Duke, Tucker was only legit option of those two and that one hurt. K is hard to beat and Tucker had throw signs he wanted a Duke offer long before going that direction. If Duke passed he was probably ours. Billy Preston never played a minute so yeah we were much better than a guy who is now mixed up with the Adidas mess. Richards stung but again same issue with UK. We aren't winning battles with kids who see one thing during the recruiting process but he probably could have helped but only really based on what happened to Sidibe's knee. A healthy Sidibe and that's a wash. Randolph- see Book Richardson. More improprieties there so did we have as much of a shot as it seemed we would? Hard to beat the cheaters. Thompson wanted to play with his pops- not sure how that is a failure on our end. Wilson and Cosby Round tree I absolutely say we had better with our 4. Walker hurt and was a guy we went down the wire with. He also was possibly involved with the Adidas mess as per investigation into Miami. So maybe better we didn't get him all the same considering what it came with. All in all with the realities of the landscape it's hard not to like our class. Our two hardest misses were to schools possibly involved in the FBI ordeal. Others to UK and Duke who both have gone all in on the one and done sales pitch. That is not who we are and realistically we shouldn't be expected to win very many of those battles. [/QUOTE]
