[...] Will Barton proved to us with his commitment to Memphis last week that it is not too early to start thinking about the 2010 recruiting class and as good as next year’s team is shaping up to be, UK 2010-2011 isn’t going to just form itself. [...]

So KY fans are surprised Calipari lost. Get used to it. His reputation will be your downfall.

Also, I think people are taking what Barton said about John Calipari the wrong way. Judging from the small amount I have seen about Josh Pastner I doubt he tried to push the allegations off on John Calipari. I’m guessing he meant to say that this was more of an issue that happened unde Calipari’s watch or tenure rather than John Calipari perpetuated these events. You have to remember these are 16, 17, and 18 year old kids who are not the greatest speakers in the world and was put on the spot. Kentucky fans also need to understand that there are rumors flying around Kansas, Memphis, Kentucky and many other recruiting boards that the main reason Bledsoe ended up at UK rather than Memphis was the Calipari told him Memphis was facing violations… Do we know for a fact this is true, no. However, we also don’t know if it’s true or not Pastner tried to convince the Barton’s about Calipari’s indiscretions. So I do not think it’s real fair to make allegations like your article makes.

That’s nothing other than my habit of comparing appearances of people. By the way, I really like Captain Jack. He’s a great player and has developed into a good leader for the Warriors, a team I really like.

I take it that is a slap at the kid?

Oh yeah, and he’s a dead ringer for Stephen Jackson of the Warriors.
