The Competition Never Rests.

Look everyone calm down. Ky had more talent than any one in the NCAA this year and did not win it all. Cal is probaly the best recruiter there is. But he is not a good bench coach. He had the best freshman class this year along with Patterson.It will catch up with the kitty cats before long. How many of these one and done players they get really go to class any ways?

Pearl and Co. have to make classes like the one they have coming in the norm. Otherwise, they are always going to constantly be on the short end of the talent stick.

By "and Co." do you mean the rest of the country? I think Tennessee is up for the challenge. No one in their 2010 class screams John Wall/Demarcus Cousins/Eric Bledsoe type impact at me. Teague and Gilchrest will be tough.

Selby is replaceable. Not a huge loss for the teams who miss out on him.

It's not the loss of him that is at issue. It is the impact he will have on whichever team he chooses. He's the best player in the class IMO.

I think Pearl is doing just fine in recruiting. Next year's class will be another good one.

True. I think it would only impact UT or UK in this situation. If he goes to KU then it's not a huge loss for either SEC team. You forget that we have Steven Pearl though...

Why is Kentucky recruting info in the Vols Basketball forum?
I realize we have some Cal-Slurpers on here, but can't we put these threads where they belong?

How do one-and-done players impact a school's APR score? At what point does not graduating players that leave for the NBA impact the number of scholarships?

If they leave in good academic standing, it doesn't hurt the APR score one bit.

Even though he isn't the best guy to ask about HS basketball talent, Jerry Meyer did comment on the whole top player argument. He said that, throughout the McDs event, Knight was very mediocre, Sullinger and Barnes were really good but not special, but Selby was just on another level. He didn't comment on Jones, Harris, Joseph, Irving, etc.

with his connections (WWWes and LeBron) he might go to the NBA but I doubt any non-desperate NBA team would be looking to hire a coach with a schoolyard offense and who doesn't actually call plays. even if he goes to a mediocre or worse team it's hard to out-talent other teams when you don't have superior talent.

zzz. How did that UK team this year fare better than Pearl's Vols? UK will always be tough, as will the other traditional b'ball schools. That doesn't mean we can't be very good, too.

UK will be tough again, but the talent gap between us and them will be closer next season.

OK, for some reason I thought you were penalized for athletes in good standing leaving before graduation. At some cumulative point it would impact the APR, guess not.

The APR doesn't really have a graduation rate component. As long as guys are hitting the benchmarks for the time they are there, you're fine. In that respect, the APR makes much more sense than the idiotic graduation rate figures people used to quote. Those didn't give a remotely accurate picture.

For those saying we don't need Selby or not having Selby isn't a big deal:

Josh Selby makes us a legitamate Final Four contender. He has the talent to be a top-5 NBA Draft pick in 2011. I've heard by some that he is a not quite as athletic, better shooting John Wall. We absolutely need Selby.

I'm a regular in a Knicks forum and there has been quite a bit of discussion that LeBron signs with NY and brings his friend Cal. I can't imagine getting rid of Dantoni for Cal and I hope it doesn't happen.

After Coach K disses the commie who bought the Nets, I wouldn't be surprised to see him make a run at Cal.

It certainly shouldn't.

Ideally, it wouldn't matter even if they didn't leave in good standing, in my opinion.

Absolutely.

Nah, we'll do okay. He will be at Kansas if not here which will be fine w/me. We play them next year and all, but better there than at Kentucky.

I don't think we NEED Selby. But I think he would DEFINITELY help. I think Selby vs. Knight would be an interesting story when it comes Kentucky time.
