So is KY changing their philosophy of 5 star recruits that stick around a couple years and head for the pros?
They need someone to practice against.From what I've seen Calipari is trying to sprinkle in some vets in with the 5 star frosh/soph groups

I have a hard time believing he averages over 10pts a game next year if he ends up somewhere like Kentucky. Hard lessons are about to learned by many of these kids.
This day in age visibility is a complete cop out. You can watch about any game in the nation if you want on any given night. You really think the Chicago Bulls turn on ESPN to scout talent? There is a little more method to their madness then watching Big Monday to find talent.At UK, I could see him playing heavy minutes and averaging close to 13ppg.
I also think, a move like this, increases his visibility. Tremendously.
Kentucky occasionally falls apart and lands in the NIT. But their floor, the NIT, has unfortunately been our ceiling for the past quarter-century. Easy call for Antonio - even if better competition exposes some parts of his game.He may not put up the same type of numbers, but his path to the tournament would be a lock before he even stepped foot on campus if he were to choose to go to Kentucky.
I disagree, but i’m not going down this road again.This day in age visibility is a complete cop out. You can watch about any game in the nation if you want on any given night.

Well, since that is what Calipari has been talking about since they lost to St. Peters - it is an easy YES.So is KY changing their philosophy of 5 star recruits that stick around a couple years and head for the pros?
Maybe be proactive and turn this whole transfer portal B.S. around...........our new recruiting sales pitch could be "If you come to Illinois State, you might end up somewhere like Kentucky."Lots of chatter on a commitment to Kentucky coming soon.
It’s funny reading the tweets. Some see him as a huge addition. Many are saying, “Have we fallen so far that we have to take kids from Illinois State?”Lots of chatter on a commitment to Kentucky coming soon.
Think I saw it best from one Kentucky fan. “We trust these high school kids who do it against little competition, but not a kid that averaged 20 against D1?”It’s funny reading the tweets. Some see him as a huge addition. Many are saying, “Have we fallen so far that we have to take kids from Illinois State?”

Could you imagine living your life like this? Living on twitter and blocking people that disagree with you? I love me some Redbird sports, and twitter for that matter (up do date sports info in one place) but holy shit people need to get a life sometimes!!!I got blocked on Twitter by a Kentucky fan for just saying I guess a 20ppg scorer who shoots 39% from 3 isn't good for Kentucky.
