Tubby Smith. Pitino left UK to coach the Celtics, and Tubby inherited his team. In his first year, UK wins the national championship. I think personally the man had a good coaching tenure, but his recruiting was subpar and Kentucky didn't reach another Final Four in his watch.

Kevin Ollie. HOF Calhoun leaves UConn due to his health and age, and Ollie inherited his team. The first time he's in the tourney, UConn wins the national championship. Would you believe as a die hard UConn fan, I wasn't sold on Ollie? He is a great man, African-American, God fearing, nothing but quotes, but he inherited Calhoun's team. Let's see what he does with his players. Fast forward, and look at what happens. What is the point of saying ha I told you so, when your program looks like shyt? This is depressing.

Not landing Diallo, who've spoken to plenty of times in person, might have been a wake up call for me. Ollie is incapable of landing an elite player, and you actually have fans thinking now he could land Bamba, a kid ranked higher than Diallo. They never learn.

Kentucky is the best place for him to go up against other elite talent daily in practice. The most likely scenario is that he enters the draft this year and never plays a game for Kentucky, just practices with them to prepare for the NBA.

I'd only feel bad if he actually plays this season, or if he decides to not enter the draft.
he is gonna play next year and enrolls on Wednesday

I been checking UConn scores for a few years now and noticed this stuff too. I don't think Ollie is good enough.

:usure: don't know why cats are still sleeping on Joel?

Completely shytted on Dennis today.

You're right, he might move himself up from end of the second round to the middle :ehh:

Doesn't help that there are 10+ PGs in this draft that I'd take over him right now
