    That's like saying you didn't want Anthony Davis last year.

    The NCAA didn't send out a warning about Anthony Davis if I recall correctly.

    A newspaper published an article saying he got paid $200,000 to go to Kentucky and didn't retract it when Davis threatened to sue. Maybe it's just me, but that's got "potential violations vibe" written all over it.

    That was shit journalism, nothing more. That story literally said Davis committed to Kentucky and then at the end was like... Oh yeah, he got paid 200k for it. There was never any substance to that. I'm pretty sure if there was the NCAA would've been on it, that's a pretty serious claim.

    The NCAA has actually had to warn schools about Shabazz's eligibility. I'm not saying I wouldn't have been thrilled to get the kid, but at this point, where UK is and with the constant scrutiny on Cal and the program, it's not the end of the world.

    I thought Parker was supposed to announce tonight too. Is he not now?

    A major newspaper isn't going to publish a story that has no substance to it and like Bryan said, the fact that they didn't retract it when threatened says a lot.

    Cal has cherry picked the guys he wanted the past couple of years. I find it hilarious that the one time the Wildcats don't get a guy, Kentucky fans didn't want him anyway.

    I find it funny that they're more concerned about the potential baggage that one guy they didn't end up getting carries instead of the baggage/mess of shit their coach has left at every stop he's made.

    Do you really think if there was any substance to that rumor it would've been reported by one local newspaper? If Anthony Davis had gotten 200k to go to UK it would've been plastered on ESPN for weeks.

    Again, I would've loved to have had Bazz, I've said that repeatedly, but a part of me is glad to not to have to hear about the baggage he brings. I fail to see how that is so difficult to comprehend.

    When an investigation is on-going, you don't usually hear much about it. Look at what happened at Miami. That was kept under wraps for a long time.

    ESPN didn't pick up on the Sandusky story when it was first reported locally, and that was about a guy raping kids.

    Kenyon Martin and Jason Maxiell. Lance Stepenson was drafted two years ago by Indy, but he may be in the D-league or possibly jail.

    Yes, Indiana has a stacked roster and an incoming class of players that have been playing with each other for quite awhile now.

    He played in a couple exhibition games with former UK players during the lockout at rupp and comes to games when he can. He's always a cat in my book.

    Can you imagine if he had played for Cal instead of Tubby who had no idea how to use him?

    all of the comparisons to Anthony Davis are going to doom Noel. Not doubting his talent at all, but the bar has been set at an unachievable level in my opinion.

    Agree. He will be a star but he won't be AD... And there's nothing wrong with that.

    I dunno, Noel had more blocks his senior season that Davis did.

    Check out this video, it's pretty insane
