Ya, he can recruit. Especially now that he is at UK. On top of that, the SEC has been **** in basketball. So winning the SEC isnt' exactly a big feather in the cap.
I wonder at what point that Cal starts to catch some flack for not winning a national title with all the talent he has had?QUOTE]

So basically, if the SEC is so bad in bball, then programs like OSU shouldnt be losing in the tourney to UF, Tenn, and UK? Right? Or maybe OSU should just get out of the first and 2nd round like they didnt recently vs. Siena and Gtown. Of course, OSU has years of not even making the tourney recently too. So whats OSU doing to show they are superstars?

OH, so one or two good teams at the top NOW equals a great conference? LMAO. Such a piece of work you are. Master spinner! lol

BTW, I am not sure how or why Matta got into this convo. But whatever I guess.

LSU got shut out in the national championship game and their recruiting class this year isn't even top 15..what have they done to show they are superstars?

And cbf, Im waiting for you to prove me that Im wrong, since you think Im crazy on what I posted. Matta gets players that stay for a few seasons and does less than what Cal does with one and dones, with little experience.Matta should do much better than what he does. Fact.

centralbucksfan;1074884 wrote:lol ya, ok. I guess you don't recall the Oden, Conley, Cook NCAA finalist team, then all left to NBA. 3 first round picks. They made NCAA finals. Two years ago, Cal, UK had 5, yes FIVE first round NBA picks. Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe were frosh. They did not even make the final four.
So please, STFU, and move on.

Laley23;1074897 wrote:Cal been there 2 years plus this one and has a final four and E8, no early exits. At this point UK fans would be assanone to get upset with no title. It isn't to that point yet. He went 35-3, 29-9, and is currently 22-1. He is on his way to winning 2/3 SEC titles and is 2/2 on SEC tourney titles with a chance for 3/3. Seriously, in what world would a UK fan be upset at this point lol? You guys are delusional.

Ok shower time, can't believe I just defended Cal that much!
