Calipari called Terrence Jones after his announcement and he now may be having second thoughts about his commitment to Washington

Read the comment section of the article. I had no idea that Washington fans hated UK so much.

After what Cal did this evening what do you expect. The guy is crapping on the integrity of the game every chance he gets.

Glenrider said...

Anon,
So you know the content of the phone conversation? Let me hear it. Plus leave the next set of Lottery numbers for all to see.

Sounds to me like Cal had a soft verbal with TJones and was stunned at the way the presser turned out. I'd suspect that would warrant a call. Either way if Jones were to flop the Cal haters are gonna go apeshit....

Glenrider said...

Anon #2 ... agree totally.

Cal called because he is in a panic. Without TJ it embarrasses Cal. You wont get to the S16 w/o TJ. You guys will defend a killer if he is wearing a Kentucky jersey. Your attitude is souring basketball and will eventually fully tarnish the arrogant classless fans that you are. You ave no respect for TJones, no respect for how difficult it was for him.

"You guys will defend a killer if he is wearing a Kentucky jersey."

You have LOST your perspective. Reel it back in ... try again.
Your previous post:
EPIC FAIL

You just proved my point

Cal lost Leslie b/c of Jones' verbal, do you blame him fo wanting an explanation? And Cal is not panicking, he's got a #2 or #3 recruting class.

Glenrider said...

Negative. You have no point. However you do have a purpose and everyone posting here tonight knows what that is.

The kid does not want to go to your school!!!!! Get a grip and get a life. JEEEEEEZZ. Some of you are begging him on twitter to change his mind and teling him you will take care of him. GET A F...... GRIP ON YOURSELF. Do you not realize just how immature that is? Oh yea...I forgot YOUR CALSUCKY AND WERE NOT. better get some new knee pads its going to be a long season for you crying ass wimps.

Jones called Calipari not Calipari called Jones.

There are no Washington fans here, they don't even know about Aaron's site. All of these hate messages are from the same poster - our old friend Anonymouse in Memphis. He is in a feeding frenzy with our loss of Jones.

Aaron has no method to ban him or he would. Pay no attention to the idiot.

Well let's all follow Calipari's way.
Dear Rick Pitino, John Calipari has just made it a new rule that unless a LOI has beeen signed, and no matter what a recruit commits to, ho matter how heart felt his commitment is, it doesn't f....kn matter. So Brandon Knight did not sign a LOI, he is open game, as Teague and Gilchrest. Yes Kentucky slime buckets this goes both ways..it is ow open season recruiting. Go Rick, Go Ville, the game has been renewed by John Calipari.

Wheatgerm said...

Aaron's regulars will already know this, but here is Sports Illustrated's Michael Rosenberg on Thursday:

"The whole point of signing with a school is to enforce a two-way commitment: The school and the prospect swear to love each other, in sickness and in health, in the NCAA tournament and the NIT. Schools can take scholarships away after players spend a year on campus (which I don't like, but that's another column). The Letter of Intent ends the recruiting process."

That's not from UK fans. That's from Sports Illustrated. It's the LOI that ends the recruiting process. So yes, as Rosenberg goes on to explain, that means coaches may still try to pry Knight away from UK. That's how it works, notwithstanding the knee-jerk reaction of the haters.

Glenrider said...

Wheatgerm ... you should have been here last night. The Trolls were so thick I thought I was on a "Lord of the Rings" Forum instead.

RICK PITINO...go get your men Knight and Teague.
Pursue, Pursue, Pursue.
Go Cards.....Coach Donovan, might as well jump in too...calling Coach Self...please no more of respecting a recruits heart felt wishes and comments, go get em.

Wheatgerm said...

Glenrider, it's odd that the haters never tell you where they're from or what school they support. As if hiding behind anonymity weren’t already enough, they need additional protection to shield their egos. “Better not let on who I root for, they might use it against me.” That’s some kind of cowardice.

I've been reading the comments to Percy Allen's column in The Seattle Times for quite some time now, and I've found the Dawg fans to be really good guys. Unlike the posters on Louisville's Courier-Journal or Memphis’ Commercial Appeal, they usually enjoy a friendly and intelligent discourse, even with fans from other schools, at least the ones who don't act like dicks. Only occasionally do you see anything untoward. But I have to cut them enormous slack today, because their quick emotional reaction is totally understandable. I'd be pissed, too. I don't think our Anon. friends here today are from the Pacific Northwest. I'd guess somewhere closer to home.

Why would a hater spend a Friday night on a UK blog, hating all night? You haters must have really ugly women in your life.

Kentucky fans are the masters of the one handed exercise.

Wheatgerm, please get off of your silly high horse.
You want to really see classless fans , take at look at the entries on the KSR site. Hourly and daily vomit talk degrading everyone and everthing that isnt Kentucky. You guys pretend to be the leader in your 'rightful place'. No team fans are lower than Kentucky's. It is a shame how you defend this.

What kills me about other fanbases is that they're so blind that they can't see the true reason they hate Calipari. They hate him because he's kicking their coach's ass in recruiting and there's nothing they can do about it. All they can do is hop on their moral high horse and cry like a baby. Do they not realize how pathetic that is?

Anonymous said...

Wheatgerm... great post! That is SO TRUE!! pay no 'tension to whut dat other feller says.

Anonymous said...

well crap, now Ricky P's going to go hire one of Teague's coaches to make him change his mind! oh wait, he already did that and it didn't make a difference...

eeky said...

So is there a new conference at 1pm eastern? whats the scoop?

Tony said...

Wheatgerm, without a doubt, you of all people, know this is as sleazy as it gets in recruiting. I know you have to tow the company line though. However, you post how you have been on the boards in Seattle, Memphis and Louisville but UK fans want to know why would other fanbases be here. Perhaps you can explain it to them in whatever languagae you guys speak. Finally, I never note who I cheer for because it only gives the lesser minds an easy way to dismiss facts or reasonable logic. God forbid I say I am a Louisville, Memphis or Jayhawk fan then it becomes lil brother, hate and/or jealousy. Never anything to advance the dialogue. And I know you might want to think it's all about UK, but most every fanbase's hate is for the slimeball of a coach you have. UK had fallen off the radar and will again once the slime leaves. Call me a hater, troll, whatever or consider this a flame but afterwards try to defend this action of Cal. No wonder you guys hate coach K so much. Now I get it.

nobody cares tony.
ok, so i was watching the video of Jones announcing, and he reaches for the Washingon hat and lets out this groan. It was clear that he wasnt totally ok with it. Whatever he decides I wish him the best, i just hope hes happy with his choice. Its crazy to think he was sitting at the table and STILL didnt know. I cant imagine the pressure he was feeling.

jones to UK...just in---YESSSSS!

Terrence signed his LOI this morning...he is just waitig for all of this to settle down before he announces.

Gamechanger said...

Message to Coach Donovan - Please resume your recruitment of Brandon Knight.
He has not committed to Kentucky. As we have seen by John Calipari's disrespect for Terrence Jones verbal, which cares little for, it is time to follow suite.
To all coaches, please show Kentucky the same courtesy it showed to the University of Washington.

dear diary, today i really letem have it on this random UK blog
love GChanger

boring.

Gamechanger said...

boring? I don't think so. It scares the crap out of you. That is the only reason you even spend the time to say 'boring'. eeky, you are easily the most predictable lady on this site.

Gamechanger, you're back again...it's the internet, don't be so thin skinned.
