Wow! Kentucky getting taking to the wood shed!

No one on that team should go pro! Tennessee is horrible and they are down 30+!

Which brings up an interesting scenario for them next year. If none of the current kids go pro, then they will have a serious logjam next year re playing time and potential infighting. These kids all went in expecting to be one and done and now it won't happen.

Or if some of the current kids DO go, or are forced out academically, the NBA won't likely take them. They will languish in the NBDL, or play in some second-rate international league. That may end up saying a lot about UK's recruiting strategy to the next group of top-flight recruits - that the strategy of putting together a "Fab Five" every year is a very risky one, and as a top flight recruit, do you want to take that risk?

I'm hoping their recruiting strategy bombs out just as you imply.

We will see the draft is so bad a couple of those kids might still be in the first round.

I'll fall down laughing if UK doesn't make the NCAA tourney this year. That would be great.

Thing is...they do have some talent on that team...losing noel hurt, but there is no way they should have lost to Tennessee that badly...

But Calipari gets kids ready for the pro's, doesn't he? At least if they come to him already ready.
