Doug Gottlieb on ESPN just said that a certain recruit, one who had been recruited by UK, UCLA, UNC, Duke, and UConn, didn't come to UK specifically because of Tubby's assistant coaches, citing their inability to "relate" to him. Wow, I hadn't heard that. Anybody know which recruit he was talking about?

I don't remember the details, but there was a lot of that talk last summer. The player wound up in the Big 12 IIRC. Just can't put a name with it. The assistant was Rigot and Tubby took over that recruiting effort. Someone else will have to fill in the blanks, but it was no secret and was talked to death at the time.
The media is looking for anything to fill in the blanks in their programs as they all want to have the scoop on something. Making this sound like something new is just a part of their ratings game.

I like hobbs, hanson and the bunch....but i say wipe the slate clean and keep Tubby. I believe in Tubby and the players DO like him. Keep the newer guy, i forget his name (hear hes a good recruiter) keep holsopple, keep Tubby, throw away the rest.

Ah, I see. Thanks. Yep, nice of Gottlieb to bring it up now, with Lucas and Patterson still hanging in the balance. |

^^^ i think that's what is going to happen.
they did say that the recruits will be coming back, and that the practice facility would be a big help. let's start with the two we are after this year.

Was this Smith? or a different player? I forget where he ended up. |

Keep the newer guy, i forget his name (hear hes a good recruiter) keep holsopple, keep Tubby, throw away the rest. I say wipe the slate "completely" clean to include Tubby. It's time for a drastic change, but ofcourse that won't happen with Tubby's long contract. Not sure why UK extended his contract for that long. Personally I look forward to the day I watch UK basketball minus Tubby on the sidelines.. It's always the same old story with this man.. |

Even Digger was Saying he would go to UK they were giving much love to playing for uk and saying kids have every reason to go there...................to sum up it sounded to me like they were taking shots at the staff for not recruiting not to hard since everything they said was true

Thought the point of the article was a recruit went elsewhere due to the staff at UK. Thompson was hot for the Cats by all reports for a time but went to the Heels shortly after visiting Chapel Hill. Comparison of the 2 staff's may have been his reason as he was supposed to really like Tubby. |
