‘23 PA SF Justin Edwards

[wmcovol]

Why you commit so much time & money on someone “dreaming of playing” elsewhere is beyond me. The kid should love Tennessee cause he played them to get mo money from Ky.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Rent free.

You’re here on a Tennessee board.

Kind of ironic don’t ya think?

 

[Voltopia]

Rent free.

*snort* Nothing about your program is free.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

What an embarrassment.

 

[Col_Cathcart]

That look of belated realization is sooo great. UK fans have never been quick on the uptake

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

And this is the cherry on top:

 

[HippieVol33]

Good luck to the kid. Except for when he plays Tennessee.

 

[VolGee4]

Rent free.

I guess you can’t argue records with Barnes as coach.

 

[HippieVol33]

Rent free.

The last two SECT losses still sting huh? 😅

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

How many final fours has Barnes taken you to?

Barnes owns you.

 

[volfaninky]

Go Peacocks 🦚

 

[hUTch2002]

How many final fours has Barnes taken you to?

The same number Cal has taken you to in the last 6 seasons. How is that even possible with his recruiting classes? You almost have to try to NOT make the F4 with the talent he has had.

Excerpts from athletic article on Edwards

When the Nike grassroots circuit began this spring, Tennessee had overtaken Kentucky in Edwards’ recruitment with a blitz of attention and a simple appeal: Sure, the Wildcats want you, but the Volunteers need you. That worked fine until Calipari watched Edwards in the first live period, determined he was a must-get player and made it his mission not to lose a kid who grew up calling UK his dream school. On Monday night, Edwards picked the Cats over the Vols, and Calipari inched closer to one of those star-studded superclasses that defined his early years in Lexington.

“Since Cal saw him this spring, he’s been locked in,” says Andre Noble, Edwards’ coach at Imhotep Institute in Philadelphia. Kentucky assistants Chin Coleman and Orlando Antigua both aggressively recruited him, too, but Calipari took over down the stretch. “He has really made it a priority to build his own personal relationship with Justin. He’s been super engaged, super serious about his recruitment.

“Tennessee has been recruiting him for a long time and really made Justin and his family feel at home. They did a phenomenal job recruiting him,” Noble says. “But Coach Cal’s late burst was really important. Obviously there were other factors. Before all of this, at probably 7 or 8 years old, Justin’s dream school was Kentucky. That affected this too. But it was a rumble. It was not an easy decision for our guy.”

You calling BTO a nut?

Not this ole boy.

Irony. Or hypocrisy. Take your pick.

All that matters is the previous year and both UT and UK ended the season disappointingly. I've been saying for years the ncaa tourney is cruel and UT fans are really learning it the last five years or so. A few plays change and Cal has 2, maybe 3 titles. Or maybe 0. If Cal had 2 or 3 titles his critics couldn't say ****. Alas, here we are 10 years since the last title.

Cats fans are clearly more disappointed in how their season ended, and how it ended for the rest of the decade. They're more disappointed in the series with Tennessee, too, and in not winning the SEC Tournament. Kentucky fandom at this point means celebrating in July after three months of utter sadness.

I am all for bashing UK but being a UT hoops fan in March is about as bad as it gets for failing to meet expectations. I mean idk of another team who has failed to reach a final 4 with the amount of times we were a legit contender.

If the schadenfreude makes you feel better then more power to you

You might do a little more research and you would have several names.

I try not to fall to the temptation but the gnashing gets too loud to ignore, so I might as well enjoy it.

 

[VolArmy74]

Hopefully Edwards is a monumental bust.

 

[allvolrecruiting]

How many final fours has Barnes taken you to?

And you're still losing to him

 

[Putbacks]

Calipari might get the blue chips on the dotted line but can’t put them on the ladder. KY wins November….again.

 

[Tnphil]

How many final fours has Barnes taken you to?

KY has done less with more than any team in the country the past several years....Congrats on that honor.
