I see your unfamiliar with a little place called the Boneyard. No ones taking that title from them.

So yeah, even though we have 4 centers on the roster and a fifth guy that actually plays there that could be back next season, I'd welcome Jackson here.

All of that talent, yet Calipari has as many NCAA Titles as Boeheim. Hasn't been to a Final Four since 2015 (Syracuse went in 2016) and because of his vacated Final Fours for cheating has fewer than Boeheim.

Top recruiting ratings every year are nice, but you're not going to win a national championship with freshmen. Kentucky has proven that, as well as Duke. You have to have a core of veteran players on the roster. SU doesn't win in 2003 without the steadiness of the upperclassman.

But he said that he loves him so that makes it ok...

Right about that one. Heck UK isn’t even the worst in their own state.

I’m actually happy to see it. He wanted to be big time and guess what it is what it is

The problem Cal has is all those guys expected the draft and when your busts and it doesn't work out like its scripted you are going to have major issues.

But, but we landed our top priority 5 guy in JBA a couple years back according to...in the recruiting threads...the same year we swung and missed on all of those much more highly rated 5's. I'm not so sure there's any room on the roster for a guy like Jackson.

I'd love to have Jackson, but he's currently viewed as a lottery pick in this year's draft. Hard to see him choosing to transfer elsewhere over being a lotto pick if that's where his stock ultimately is at the end of the year. Plenty of time for that to change though.

Not one person said missing on Jackson was ok. It was clear what he would have done for this year's team vs anyone else we brought in. No idea what you are getting at.

It's not what was said about Jackson, etc., but rather what was assertively & boisterously stated/implied by one here after landing JBA, and missing out on those much higher rated 5's we were after.

Your post made it sound like it was board consensus, not a single poster. Individuals say crazy things all the time on here. We're almost all guilty of it from time to time.

Delusional fan base? Yep! But the ponies bring in a heck of a lot more tourism than the Bourbon Trail. In fact I'd say there is more bourbon drank at the Blue Grass Stakes and Kentucky Derby each year than is sold year long on the Bourbon Trail tours. But the fans...dear me. I have to give them credit they are passionate and devoted.
At this point, we have no idea what JBA will be. I wouldn't be taking a victory lap just yet.

I understand, and this is true. Although, there's a difference between saying crazy things, etc., versus taking oneself so seriously here. Additionally, one's particular manner/disposition, pompous nature, etc. demonstrated in the process.

No victory lap, that's your own thinking there. Any true fan of SU, let alone diehards like us on this board, wouldn't wish any recruit being unsuccessful here. Suggesting otherwise is malarkey.

OMG you should listen to his local radio shows. He portrays himself as somewhere between Mother Teresa, Joan of Arc and the Pope. And many of the fans treat him the same way. And then are also 90 year grandmothers that call and question his not using 3/4 court pressure D during the last 2 minutes of the first half when they're only up 15. I haven't listened so far this year. Probably pretty funny. I really try not to but sometimes come across it. It's good comedy.

anthony davis' dont come around every year...but when they do the kentuckys win
It sounded like a victory lap to me. But I applaud the use of the word malarkey. That alone gets points from me.
