What evidence supports that "Rick is losing it"? He's recruiting at as good, or better, than he ever has at Lousiville, and they're still winning ball games at a high rate?

They really struggled last year, it was the first year that lousville hasn't been able to hit the three consistently.

There certainly isn't the same evidence with RickP that there is with CRB but there is a time where age does start to effect results for all coaches. Perhaps Dallas is correct and that time is near for rickyP

What's he rated by 247? By Scout? Blackwell is still a top 100 by rivals, but if you look at the trend both like guys are dropping like rocks, and don't show signs of stopping.

Jalen Johnson also has a Florida, Tennessee and USC offer, however I never said his offer list was better, so I'm not really sure where you got that from?

Did you read my post, it clearly says Ado is #74 on Rivals; not sure how you missed that. How many more times will the rankings be updated? Its hard to imagine getting updated more than two times before finalizing.

Bruce Pearl and Johnny Jones feel like Abdul Ado can still play in the SEC, regardless of dropping nearly 50 spots.

I get it, BTO is all about rankings, but the coaches don't give a ****. They feel like he can still ball, so I'm curious to see why our coaches don't feel the same?

THEY MADE THE ELITE EIGHT, if that is "struggling" in your mind I suggest looking up the definition.

Ricks teams are always at least good in the tourney, the regular season left a lot to be desired. I believe they had a game where they scored 32 points.

Or perhaps he's wrong as there's literally no evidence to support that statement

I didn't ask what's he ranked by rivals, I asked what he ranked by 247 and scout, did you even read MY post?

Why do our coaches feel Fulkerson can ball but Pearl and Jones don't, that works both ways Krager.

Why are coaches almost the only ones who do? He's got mid major offers, but his best is Tennessee.

This is a tourney sport Dallas, you ask any college fan and they'll tell you the same. You think UCONN fans were pissed about the national championship season in which they were a 8 or 9 seed and had to make a Big East Tournament run to even get into the field?

I'm sure they were happy with the championship, but you have to perform good in the regular season to even make it to the tourney.

Huh? Why are coaches almost the only ones who do?

He has offers from 2 SEC schools along with a ACC offer, it's not like Ado has blue bloods pursuing him. Look at De'Riante Jenkins offer list, it wasn't anything to really scream from the mountain top about.

And to this point Lousiville does that every year, so that statement again is meaningless. You're acting like Lousiville was in the NIT last year and had a bad recruiting class, they made the elite 8 and bring in a top 10 class for the 3rd straight year, I see no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Losing in puertio Rico isn't a bad sign? Not having a proven pg this year isn't a bad sign?

No Dallas, losing in a summer game against a team from Puerto Rico should hardly be considered a bad sign lol

Considering we won every game in Italy with the roster that lost at home to mercer in the nit, it's not a good sign. So, you mean to tell me, if we were to have went to Rico last year, and lost, you wouldn't had gave Tyndall hell?

No. You have to realize there's different levels of competition, didn't Kentucky lose one of those games in recent years? Those games are good for bonding and team chemistry, but they really are not a good indicator of what you can expect this upcoming season.

When Lousiville misses the NCAAT let me know, until then this seems pointless.
