Does anyone else think this epic class from howland is a bit fishy?

Considering the horrid year, the bad reports that came out, and possibly howlands final year, how do you pull this class?

Wouldnt you wanna go to college and play ball in LA? I mean LA>>> Any other college town imo.

I know you're kidding but i agree that is a laughable comparisson he may be better at blocking shots but every other asset of his game is nowhere near as good as davis..

Sullinger, THIS YEAR, wasn't nearly as good or efficient, as last year IMO. Id argue Barnes was as good if not better than sullinger this year.

Going off last year, yea knight was probably better, but as far as their team barnes was pretty crucial this year With all the injuries.

No. Arizona State would be where I went if I was looking strictly for A good time.

And I dont think he'll be better at blocking shots either. Maybe he was in HS, but to think hell be a better college shot locker than Davis is absurd...

Davis was one of the best shot blockers ever to play in the NCAA. To think Noel will duplicate that the very next year isn't very smart. My biggest question...foul trouble(leaving his feet). Most shot kickers have that problem, especially as freshman, Davis was amazing at avoiding both. Noel was flying off his feet and in foul trouble all night, in an ALL STAR game in which fouls arent called. If that's an indication of how he plays, that alone should end the comparison. I don't even need to start explaining the offensive differences between the 2.

God I hope so. He could be the difference maker for us next year between being a S16 contender and an NC contender.

Bazz vs. Noel is like comparing apples to oranges. Bazz was meant to gun, Noel is a straight-up defender.

This is true.

I just feel Bazz will meet expectations and Noel will not.

Noel will be not meet expectations because the Wildcat fans and homers are already saying he will be better than Davis... which is absolutely laughable

Being reported that amille Jefferson is leaning towards Nc State, if UK misses on him and Bennett they're hurting.

[bleedingTNorange]

And mark Lyons who was considering UK, is going to Zona. UK needs Bennett in the worst way possible.

You over dramatize everything. UK has the #1 class in Rivals, #2 in Scout, and are a preseason top 5. You make it sound like one of Wade Houstons old hauls. Bennett would make them a serious contender, but not landing him doesn't make them mediocre.

On a positive note, you having a promising career in some type of sales capacity, most likely life insurance.

UK is not top 5 if they miss on bennett, sorry.

Also, I'll gladly make a friendly bet with you if they miss on Bennett. Deal???

I'm sorry but is:

Harrow/beckham
Goodwin
Poythress/hood
Cauley/Wiltjer
Noel

Seriously supposed to scare me? The depth is garbage, and if an injury or foul trouble occurs in any game they're in trouble.

Yes they are, according to any poll you look at. Doesn't matter if you're sorry or not.

If they miss on Bennett, or you're saying they will miss on Bennett? If you're going to gamble do it right.

I never asked if they scared you, nor do I care. My statement was that they are a #1 recruiting class, and a top 5 preseason team, both of which are irrefutable by multiple media outlets, whereas you make it sound like they are grasping to go .500 in the league next season. So whether you are scared or not doesn't concern me one iota.

Also, considering the haul that Calipari is set to bring in for the 13' class, I'm willing to ride out a less than stellar season.
