As much as I hate being looked at as like a second option or plan B for a lot of these kids to UK, in all honesty I can't blame them. I mean they're 15-17 year old impressionable kids who see the non-stop media hype, drake LeBron jay-z hanging around the program, their commits almost always go in the first round (even tho theyd all probably be first rounders if they went elsewhere), WWW hooks them all up, and their facilities are insane. Also they know they can join up with a bunch of the best kids in their class and have their own little dream team with their buddies. It's just the nature of the beast right now as long as the NCAA lets UK run wild. ESPN, Nike, and probably a few other moving parts are making too much money off the UK machine right now for anybody to do anything about it. I mean Lance Armstrong didn't get busted until Nike was done with him even tho everybody said he'd been cheating for years.
 
Now if kids were saying I'm waiting on UNC, Duke, Kansas, or Indiana then I'd be a little annoyed because the last few years we've been just as strong a program or better than those guys. Will be fun when we have the chance to knock off UNC and Duke every year to prove to the country that we belong in that category when it comes to modern top tier programs. Indiana wont be nearly as good as they were this year for awhile.
