Prolly the greatest period in any BBS history was our BBS run with the GRCOAT.  It's gotta be really good being a KY BBSer right now.

QFT.  Imagine if we got Mayo and Pope instead of Brown and Anderson.  Would have been grounds to retire from BBSing because it would never get any better.

Hilarious how badly Pope's career went.  I mean, the greatest thing he ever accomplished was get his head on a GRCOAT rocket ship.  Didn't he get shot or something?

Thank goodness for those dudes.  Only reason ku won't be favored to win it all.  What a ridiculous recruiting class.  Having seen Cousins and Wall in person, I'd gladly pencil these dudes in next to the Fab 5 as one of the greatest of all time.  Probably better.

ku should still be favored to win it all.  ku brought in three 5-stars and three McD AA's in '05 and started the season 3-4.  People don't realize how much of an adjustment it is from high school to college.  Kentucky will be good, but I'd be shocked if they played for a national title next year.

The bigger problem is the whole team is adjusting to a new coach/system.  With Patterson and Meeks (maybe) returning, and Wall and Cousins NBA ready right now, the whole freshman thing wouldn't concern me as a Kentucky fan.  More likely, I'd know that those 4 are all gone next year, and currently the whole team is effectively freshman to Cal.  Beyond that, uk's best 5 is clearly superior in talent to ku's best 5.  Only X would come out on top in the match-up column.  Kentucky's bench is going to be better too.

Aldrich >>>>> Cousins


1.  Aldrich plays defense

2.  Aldrich has playing experience at the college level

3.  Aldrich will be a lottery pick in next year's NBA draft

4.  Aldrich has a national title under his belt

5.  Aldrich has a better mid range jump shot


Anything else?

How much money are Aldrich and Collins getting paid to stay at ku one more year Ben??  Any ideas??  I am thinking 6 figures for each.

Bench:  Little, Johnson, Robinson, Withey, Morris, CJ Henry, Morningstar, Reed, Releford


Collins over Wall is just ridiculous.  Not even worth discussing.  You may as well have said Collins was better than Derrick Rose.  That's just Bob Krause stupid.  Aldrich and Cousins may be a little closer of an argument.  Even if I gave you a draw there (and it would be a tremendous gift) Kentucky's is still a better line-up.

Kentucky's bench:  Bledsoe, Orton, Dodson/Miller, Hood, Liggins, Stevenson, Harris 

Pretty close, but Kentucky's still looks better.  Of course, uk is so far over the limit, we won't know exactly who the bench is for a while.  FWIW, I'd put ku number one because of the afore mentioned, "new coach, new system" problem.  Kentucky has better talent though.  Just the way it is.

You're taking an inexperienced freshman over a 1st team All Big 12, 2nd team All-American, McDonald All-American, 5-star senior who already has a national title under his belt.  That's awesome.  Collins has a better 3-point shot as well.  Go back and watch the ku/Memphis national title game... Collins stood toe-to-toe with Rose and made a couple huge plays down the stretch.  Based on your "Wall > Collins" logic, Henry > Meeks. 

Next, Cole Aldrich is a much better defender than Cousins at this point and has a better mid range jump shot.  Aldrich will also be drafted higher than Cousins in next year's NBA Draft.  That's far from a draw, but you go ahead and believe what you want.  Using Rivals' recruiting rankings, here's how the two benches stack up:


ku: 

24. Elijah Johnson  *****
31. Thomas Robinson  ****
36. Jeff Withey  ****
49. Markieff Morris  ****
70. Travis Releford  ****
108.  Tyrel Reed  ***
(1) JC.  Mario Little  ****
NR. Brady Morningstar
NR. CJ Henry


uk:

22.  Daniel Orton  *****
23.  Eric Bledsoe  *****
28.  DeAndre Liggins  ****
40.  Jon Hood  ****
63.  Perry Stevenson  ****
148.  AJ Stewart  ***
(1) JC.  Darnell Dodson  ****
NR.  Ramon Harris


Comparing stats from last year:


Morningstar (6.5 ppg)  >  Harris (5.5 ppg)

Reed (6.5 ppg)  >  Miller (5.3 ppg)

Mk. Morris (4.7 ppg)  >  Liggins (4.2 ppg)


*Note:  According to Scout, Thomas Robinson is a 5-star (24 overall) and Eric Bledsoe is a 4-star (37 overall)

You're just bias and can't see through it.  You would have taken Darrell Arthur over Micheal Beasley.  You would have taken Brandon Rush over OJ Mayo.  You would have taken Mario Chalmers over Derrick Rose.  And now you'll take Sherron Collins over John Wall.  I get it.  You're a loyal fan.  Nothing wrong with that. 

Xavier Henry is a better talent than Jodie Meeks BTW.

Ben, let it go. They KNOW their team has no shot at the title, let alone the tourny, so they need someone else to support. Let them believe/think/know/whatever that uk > ku. Only time it will matter is when the teams are on the court playing. Then the whole country will know who is better.

Yep... a team that's breaking in a new coach, new system, new players, and just went to the NIT last season should definitely be better than a team with national championship experience.  Jeezus.... I'm starting to think stupid runs in the water over there in Manhattan.  Either that, or a steady diet of Hatorade.  Probably a little bit of both, actually.

In a not that strong SEC Kentucky should do excellently.  Also by the end of the year the one'n'doners should be finding their rhythms and The returning talent was decent, just not deep.  Not much worse than the team that played you in the national Championship last year, just with some better players.  You're national Championship experience argument is ridiculous.  Only two guys contributed to that team and neither were starters.  GTFO.

First of all, nice obliteration of the English language.  Next, Sherron Collins played 34 minutes in the national title game.  The only reason he didn't start was because he didn't want to take Robinson's spot mid-season and mess with team chemistry.  Aside from that, forget about national title experience... let's just talk NCAA tournament experience.  Marcus Morris and the rest of ku's freshmen from last year have more NCAA tournament experience than anyone on Kentucky's roster.  Going from NIT and no NCAA tourney experience to national champions is damn near unheard of.  I figured over the past few years you might have learned something from watching college basketball, but no... you guys just continue to stay stuck on stupid.

Doing what Cal is currently doing is damn near unheard of. You're just pissed that you thought that ku easily had a national title locked up due to Cal leaving memphis, and all of the sudden ku is back at #2 due to Cal bringing in even more talent then what he already had at memphis.

You know, the last team to go from an NIT berth to a title was Syracuse in '03. So it's not really that unheard of or unfamiliar to ku.

Nope.... ku has the better team and more experience at the college level.  ku also has the better coach.  Everyone forgets that ku adds three 5-stars and a 4-star to a Sweet 16 team that damn near knocked off Michigan State (the national runner-up).   Kentucky will be lucky to finish the season in the top 10.

Kentucky is not going to be nearly as good as their fanbase expects. Which is "unpossible" to do regardless. I wouldn't rule out an embarrassing early season loss like they have had in the past and they want to fire Cal. It's the same song and dance every year for Kentucky.

Yes . . . and upon last check each region has 16 seeds.   :rolleyes:

But lets review what Tardville said:

K-State will be lucky to make the NIT tournament.

Um..there was only ONE reason why K State was in the tourny in '08.

Was it the record? No
Was it because of big wins against ranked teams? Again, no
Was it because of the NCAA's love for everything Beasley and thought it would be tragic for him not to be in the tourny? (even though K State was less qualified to be there than A LOT of other teams). I think I hit the nail on the head.

Your tourny entry was completely political and that's it. K State did not deserve to be in the tournament that year. That was a HUGE fluke.

Was it the record and third place conference finish? No
Was it because of Handing the champs their worst loss of the year? Again, no
Was it because of the evil conspiring organization known as the NCAA's love for everything Beasley and thought it would be tragic for him not to be in the tourny? (even though K State was awesome). I think I nailed my cousin.

Your tourny entry was inspirational to us all and that's it. K State did not deserve to be that poorly seeded. That was a HUGE fluke.

Took some work.  ...But fyp

I'm a retarded frack and can't take off my purple tinted glasses. I fail to realize that even with the number 2 draft pick, we failed MISERABLY! I love banging little boys and shouting EMAW!!!! after I come. Girls don't get me off because they are yucky. Looking at nude chicks makes me puke. In fifth grade, I touched my cousin's weiner. I liked it alot.  :lick:

and most non-idiots would agree that we should have been seeded better but were put at 11 because of geography.

Hey, I wasn't one of the tards that predicted K-State would go NIT.  Still, an 11-seed in the NCAA tourney doesn't suggest that K-State had much more room for error.  With the #1 overall recruit and another top 10 recruit, K-State struggled at times.  If anyone has been following college basketball over the years, they realize that talent alone doesn't win at this level.  There are tons of good coaches with experienced, senior-dominated teams who can really be tough to beat.  Just look at Mizzou last season.  They weren't the most talented team, but they had experience and the defensive mentality to win at a high level.

First of all, WSU is the best and all this other crap is just blah blah blah. uk, ku, who gives a crap?

Second, who DOESN'T put ketchup on corndogs? If not ketchup, what do you put on it? Soap or something? Stop being retarded and dip your corn dogs in ketchup like the rest of us humans.

Third, you know what's better than a corn dog? Those breakfast things that are like a corn dog, except the outside is pancake and the inside is sausage. Dip it in some maple syrup and then sit back and enjoy the orgy of flavor in your mouth.
