I honestly thought that Cal would probably bring talent to KY equal to what he had at Memphis. At that level, I thought we could compete. The way I see it, if Pearl doesn't win the SEC and make a tremendous run through the tourney this year, then I don't see us competing for a few years. I can't believe that Cal is hand picking the best players in the country. TN is not the sexy team any more and Pearl is not the up and coming hot coach. He's got 4 Seniors and a 5* in his starting line up. Everyone returning. Flame out this year and we can start trying to go after the best of the 3* athletes.
Or maybe we get lucky and Cal gets caught and puts KY on probation.
