It is great. U of Kentucky bought a basket ball team — Memphis. So when you see UK in the final 4 next year you will really understand that it is Memphis Tigers that are playing.

UK is now a scumy program. What would RUPP do?

This is where Mr. Zags again makes wild speculation about things he knows nothing about. This whole article basically assumes that most of Memphis’ recruiting class is going to follow Cal to Kentucky. Guess what folks – THEY HAVE NO OPEN SCHOLARSHIPS! None! Zippy! They’re maxed out at 13.

MAYBE one of these guys ends up at Kentucky. But some, like Xavier Henry, will likely end up at Kansas, which was his second choice for a school. And even if that happens, someone has to “transfer” or give up their scholarship at Kansas. The notion that they’d be able to get both Stephenson AND Henry, as Mr. Zags suggests, is so far fetched, I can’t even begin to describe it. And you can bet that both one and done players don’t want to end up at the same school. They want to showcase their talents ALONE, not together. So if one ends up there, the other will end up somewhere else. Why do you think Stephenson delayed announcing smart guy? Because he’s not going to Kansas – he’ll go to Maryland or St. Johns now.

“If Calipari has any class …”

Where you been, bro? Class? The man that brought you the UMass School of Cash and Jewelry … Rocky Nets Horror Show … Memphis School of Pre-Draft Loitering …

Kentucky fans are getting just what they deserve — a dung beetle, someone who’ll feel at home out behind the stalls at Churchill Downs in the manure piles with the AAU handlers and leeches.

If Calipari has any class,he will stay completely out of the recruitment of Henry,since he has already signed with Memphis and if he has told the dad he wants them at kentucky while the kid has a loi in the hands of Memphis,,i believe it would be a NCAA violation.

I love how you’re using this photo to suggest there was some kind of farewell parade for Calipari. This photo is taken from the team’s return from the Sweet 16, and there was no such farewell gathering. In truth, he pretty much snuck out without saying a word to anybody. He’s dead to Memphis fans. By ripping this recruiting class apart and leaving behind nothing but a trail of ashes, he’s pretty much nuked the Memphis program for the next several years. He leaves no legacy at Memphis.

Well thats a very good question.

Lance is better in my opinion. I watch both of them play and I think Lance is much better but X is really, really good as well.

These kids better be worth the hype, especially this Henry guy. Of all the footage I’ve went through, nothing impresses me. What I want to know is, what is the fuss? Honestly.
