I wouldn't make an unfounded claim unless I could back it up. I have posted on this board many times before and usually bring enough info to back my claims. So please do not tell me not to scrutinize a player when there are obvious issues in their past that might prohibit them from playing. This is Calipari's m.o. with players... you guys hired him so get used to it and report honestly.

It's fine to be critical of Calipari, he deserves to be scrutinized. Leave those players out of it. What direct knowledge do either of you have about Bledsoe, Wall, and Cousins academics?

And while you continually put down a Memphis program that did have a celebrated past in basketball and has had more than its fair share of first round NBA draft picks pre-Calipari, it's nice to see that you do have some doubt about your current coaches track record and questions about his future.

And why would he? he's one and done. The over/under on classes he ACTUALLY attends whilst in lexington is probably also set at one.
