Class of 2020 PF Isaiah Jackson (MI/SpireAcademyOH) to Kentucky

[orangebabe]

LOL! salt in the wound...Frank is nowhere close to him in ball skills. He is close in athleticism though and is bigger than IJ.

And will likely be around longer than Isaiah. I hope we get this kid.

I know some hate whenever anything is shared about someone not on cuse but I had to share this one...from the foul line! Jeesh! This one woulda been a huge win for us.

 

[Cusesky8214]

another view...go go gadget arms on this kid!

Ugh this one is still tough to digest. He was done. Was coming here. Last second visit by PayPal Cal and sold him on NBA dream.

Didn't every report that came out reveal we were a distant third on that recruitment, the kid was all in on Kentucky and it was his old man who liked Cuse? He was never coming here.

It was an interesting recruitment because towards the end all of the National recruiting “experts” said it was essentially down to UK and Bama. Can never really tell with some of these players.

It was allways Kentucky

This thread is so Jurassic, only paleontologists should still be posting here.

Red was the lead here right?

Don’t think this is true...but it doesn’t matter. Kid would have been perfect for us. This was Anthony Davis all over again.

Shouldn't JB sell the guys on the NBA dream? If that's the tipping point, that's on SU.

Can’t sell something that doesn’t happen often (compared to Kentucky)

Product of raw material, not the finishing process. They need to sell these guys on the fact they'll improve more with JB.

Maybe if Isiah stays a second year at Kentucky, they may have a better team than this year. After all, they have 5 of the top 40 players from last year’s class and are on the same path for 5 more on this years class. I wonder if WWWes is still helping With recruiting now that he is on the staff of a NBA organization.

Who cares they’re terrible.

Thirty one draft picks from Kentucky under JC, with 25 currently in the NBA.

That’s...a pretty tough sell.

The tough sell is his coaching ability. 1 national title. Even Guy Lewis could have done better.

I honestly don’t care how good your players are. It’s hard enough to win A National title without churning your roster every year.

There are four* active coaches in all college basketball with >1 title.

*Three depending on how you feel about Rick Pitino.

Great perspective post. Sustained success is the exception. Sustained greatness isnt real outside saban. Expectations are so out of tune with possibilities.

high school kids with legit nba potential don't really care about march madness & ncaa titles

sure it's fun while you're there, but far from your end goal

Well that is true, Cal has had elite NBA talent that no one else has had over the course of his tenure at UK. It’s probably the greatest collection of talent over a 15 year period outside of UCLA in the 60s - 70s. Fortunately UCLA had a guy who could coach too.

But getting to the league is the goal. Not winning college titles. At least for a high percentage.

Its a different world.
