I don’t normally root for Kentucky but I’ll make an exception for next season.

Lexington Herald Leader article on Nate's signing with Kentucky. They include some nice quotes from his high school coach. Also, they indicate that there should be lots of minutes available in UK's front court.

Doug Birdsong appeared on the radio show of Tom Leach, the "Voice of the Wildcats." An entertaining chat that also extends to Doug's early days in Kentucky radio and the origin of "Bingo!"

His segment starts at the 19:11 mark of the April 5th podcast:

OH! CALIPARI WAS AGAINST IT UNTIL HE WAS FOR IT!

https://amp.courier-journal.com/amp/3287038002

And how many program’s wins were vacated after he left?

I worked on a staff with Bruce Pearl in ‘80-‘81....and how many program violations did he leave in his wake?

Guys, do you not understand that this is another OUTRiGHT scam that enhances P5’s abuses while hurting mid-majors? With all due respect this must be the Slippery Rock State board

Lastly, there are 26 Kentucky Wildcats presently on NBA rosters today (slightly less than circa 7.5%). How the hell did the other 92.5% get in the NBA w/o transferring to UoK?

Please don’t come back to me and imply I’m saying Jay W has no integrity. Jay is the best but he’s got to play the cards the NCAA is dealing and VU is smart enough to get out of the way if those are the rules of the road. We (BU) are the only guys that want to have a discussion about the level of the speed limit. Oy Vey

It’s clear the NCAA is changing the rule because they’re so concerned about the increased pressure on graduate admissions rates in the USA. Pretty soon real graduate students won’t be able to matriculate post their BA with all the D1 football and hoop kids looking to pursue advanced degrees.

BRW...aka “the writer”...above is irony (I.e., sarcasm, cynicism, dryness, bitterness, sharpness, satire, ridicule et. al.)

It may or may not rise to the level of un-Constitutionality

"The lone men’s basketball voice on the committee was St. Joseph’s Coach Phil Martelli, who in a widely publicized 2011 case blocked one of his graduating players from transferring by refusing to sign a release. Partially as a result of that case, releases are no longer required."

From the NYTimes article. Ironically the aforementioned student was already a transfer to St. Joe's and should be very familiar to those on this board.

Ray Bucknell!

BisonFan4, that is a very good article. Nice find.

I agree that it clears up a lot. Sestina had his coaches' blessing to look for another school. (An apology or two might be in order.)

I like how humble he appears to be, but when he is on the court, he plays with so much energy and attitude.

I might have to root for Kentucky next season. It will be a 1 and done!
New season, new team, new dream . . .
