UK is 20 points better than Baylor, painfully obvious. They just can't see that yet in their young brains, effort and finishing games.

20 points better yet it equaled a loss. As long as UK "hires" the one and done's all you will have is the young brains that cannot compute a complete game.

Stay in your own sandbox and don't worry about ours. One and dones at UK have one more title than Ewww T has in their entire existence. It's early December, no one is very worried.

Losing to juggernauts such as UTEP obviously proves that your strategy (whatever it may be) is working well.

Could say that about the whole team. Sloppy play and streaky shooting are gonna kill us all year i'm afraid.

As the point guard goes, so goes the team. The team follows it's general. If Aaron stays out of sync, everyone else does as well.

Talent needs direction.

He will leave of his own accord, but there will be a significant push from a portion of the fan base for his departure.

In the beginning, the NBA factory was okay because the fanbase was drunk on the bliss of being renowned nationally again. But after his recent quotes about not really being concerned with "winning college games", but instead getting players prepared for the league. If this class ultimately flops and next year is average, Cal will be looking for the exit. He doesn't deal well with internal criticism.

If they turn it around (and they certainly can, too much talent and too early in the season to count them out) I would retract my statement. We shall see.

Unless he's changed his mind, Cal would discontinue the SEC Tourney if he could, and a lot of UK fans make that their annual vacation.

1. I'm not sold on UK ever firing Cal. He'll leave on his own.
2. This season isn't a flop. Yet.
3. Cal's biggest flaw is that he recruits too well. He can never has a sustained roster where players develop year to year. Also depth will be a issue almost every year at this rate (Unless players underachieve like Poythress is right now).

That being said, UK still has a chance to be a very scary team in March. Maybe 2011-ish. But the best thing that could happen for UK is for this year to be a 1st or 2nd round loss in the tourney and hope that some freshmen are pissed off and want to stay. Maybe we keep the Harrisons (at this point they have shown nba potential consistently), Poythress, Johnson, and WCS (Doubtful. Too much of an athletic freak. Nba teams will grab him mid 1st round). Combine that with another too 5 class and maybe this team and bring back the 2012 magic.

But if all the freshmen leave (other than Hawkins and Willis) then next year will be the same. Bleeding called it in 2013. I'm started to believe this system is flawed badly.

Kentucky getting the Belmont special today. Makes all the goobers making fun of UNC for their loss to Belmont (especially considering that we missed almost 30 FTs) seem even more goobery. Anyhow, I still expect Kentucky to pull it out in the end.
