Stinking UK practice on ESPNU now

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,544]

Boo.

All I can say is ESPN, NCAA, and Calipari are all in bed together.

Disgusting.

Love seeing all these bricks in the 3v3 scrimmage

Thanks for posting. I needed a good laugh this afternoon!

And these knuckleheads are drinking Dasani bottled waters instead of drinking from "water bottles"

Surprised they aren't drinking from gold bling chalices endorsed by Drake and Lil' Jon.

Calipari is calling this the "Kentucky Hoops Combine". Lol K.

Oh here come the standard "water bottles".

Maybe those Dasani were "promotional"

Had to go grab a bucket... Already vomited three times over the garbage the announcers are spewing.

And Bilas just said this team might make up 1/3 of the 1st round this year. The bro love is real.

Just Sickening!

 

Continue to lose all respect for the NCAA.

I have ZERO issue with Calipari doing this for his players. It's a tremendous recruiting advantage and perk for UK players.

I do have an issue with ESPN televising the event. I do have an issue with the NCAA allowing an event like this to happen. Why stop there john? You should offer an online package to watch EVERY practice all year for $999.99. I'm sure you'd make a killing!

There's just no soul in that program.  That's why I can't see how people support it.

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

Next--they will probably have the UK cheerleaders serving Grey Poupon , Quiche, and Caviar at the timeouts!

My issue with the NCAA on this, is mainly the timing of the event. Football programs can have Pro Days on their campus, but that's different because those are post-season, before the draft and only with guys eligible to be drafted. 

 

This isn't a scouting combine, this is a promotional/recruiting piece for Cal/UK. I'd have less of a problem if it was for just guys declared for the draft and after the season. This is more about being on ESPN and having all those NBA scouts on campus on a recruiting weekend, than it is about helping his current players. 

 

With that said, Cal is a great marketer and knows what "sells".

100% nailed it! Exactly right!

[Stuhoo 81,497]

A "college" basketball team whose coach has not recruited a player who obtained a college degree in over eight years.

 

Semi-pro mercenaries.  

 

Sad stuff.

My thoughts exactly. How is this not an unfair recruiting advantage?

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

It is an unfair recruiting advantage.

 

It would be a little different if it was post-season but pre-season is just ridiculous!

  Like they need another one!

Hopefully there's not enough balls to go around to feed the egos this year and it blows up in Squidward's smug face.Have I mentioned I hate that program and all it represents? :devil:

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,544]

He keeps trying to say he is going to platoon his guys with 20 minutes a piece. We will see about that. Maybe against Liberty and State U but no way he keeps to that promise.

He's bound to piss people off this year.

But what do they care, they get paid either way.
