Kentucky Basketball: Sorting Through the Debris

As most everyone knows by now, word has come that Marcus Thornton has eliminated Kentucky from consideration and that Terrence Jones, while not having signed a Letter of Intent, seems to be leaning toward sticking with his choice of the Washington Huskies

A few days ago, I said that it was unlikely that Calipari would strike out on C.J. Leslie, Terrence Jones and Marcus Thornton, but it looks like that has actually happened, as remarkable as that seems.  That leaves Kentucky with nine scholarship players (assuming the return of Darnell Dodson) and one walk-on.  If the rumors about Dodson are true and he moves on, then UK will wind up with an eight-man roster if nothing changes between now and August.

But as you might expect, Coach Cal has not given up on the 2010 class just yet.  Comes now a new and previously unknown player, a certain Remi Dibo of West Virginia's Mountain State Academy.  Originally from Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Dibo is a 6'8"/230# power forward who is said to possess a very good perimeter shooting touch.  He is not at all a post up threat, at least not yet, and is considered more of a Rashard Lewis sort of player, for those who follow the NBA.  But he is said to be quite skilled as a shooter, even though word from Jody Demling, who has seen him play, that he is not really an SEC caliber player.

Star-divide

But the fact that UK is struggling to find players to fill the roster to an acceptable level at this point in the season just underlines the difficulty of having eight or maybe even nine players leave a program for whatever reason.  It is very difficult to recruit that many replacements, and John Calipari would have had to achieve unprecedented success to replace them all (which he very nearly did).  As it is, Kentucky is in a bit of a scramble mode to try to assemble a team for next year, even though the 'Cats will have a substantial amount of young talent and should challenge again for the SEC East.

I think it's safe to say that never in his wildest dreams did Calipari expect to lose this many players to the draft, or he would have done more, earlier.  Unfortunately, Kentucky is a victim of its own success last year, as we sometimes see, and that looks to make 2010-11 a bit more of a rebuilding year than we might have otherwise expected.

The good news is that the 2011-12 team is looking like world-beaters with the coming matriculation of Marquis Teague and Michael Gilchrist.  Gilchrist in particular is going to be devastating.  Take a look at this blog from Jody Demling in a conversation he had with Clark Francis of Hoop Scoop:

In doing some work for the Super Five, I asked Hoop Scoop editor Clark Francis about junior Michael Gilchrist. Francis told me more than a year ago that Gilchrist (right) was "the best player in high school basketball." Anyway, when I asked him about the 2011 Kentucky commitment Francis simply said: "An NBA All-Star for a long, long time."

That's positively Wall-esque, and we know how John Wall worked out.

Maybe...

but they most likely would not be interested in us. If they left UNC for “geographic issues” they won’t land at UK. Most likely UCLA or Arizona. Stanford and Cal also have some of their ex-teammates from Mater Dei high school.

They are not that good

Maybe a backup for Harrellson, but they’d have to sit out a year. I get the impression that they want more PT so I think they will end up at a smaller school or mid major.

Short Answer: No

I like in NC and have had the chance to watch these two several times throughout the year. Sure it would be good to have an extra set of bodies to rotate in the post position, but these two don’t have enough of a build or ball handling skills to merit a scholarship for the pair of them. These two are not that quick either, meaning that we would have to alter the dribble-drive plan to cover for their shortcomings whenever they came onto the floor. Sure, we may be interested in one of them for a limited scholarship, but these guys are a package deal, making far from a sensible idea for our program.

Really – sounds like they just miss home. I don’t suffer that well for college students. I didn’t understand the ones that went home every weekend when I was in college. As for the Wears, I mean, they were twins going to the same school. They already had each other at UNC, and they still need to be closer to mommy and daddy too while playing ball?

you know, the idea of a couple of "project players" does not sound unappealing

to me. I know they are not the kinds of guys that Cal makes his reputation on, so it might not be a good idea for his system, but a guy with decent speed who we could bulk up might not be a bad idea……

by ALLBLUCAT on May 7, 2010 10:40 AM EDT reply actions  

I'm with this

Literally the only thing I know about Dibo is what Tru mentions above, but he sounds like the kind of player that Cal should find to round out next years team – not perfect, but able to do some things that can help the team and over the course of 4 years prove to be a valuable player.

Pair him with another 6-8/6-9 type that is more of an inside oriented player, maybe someone who is more defensively gifted and lacking on offense and you have yourself a decent enough inside group for next year with a couple of guys who could develop over 4 years.

Cal knows he can’t win a NC without experienced players – he said as much all during last season. But you can’t recruit experience – you have to develop it.

3 > 2, except for very large values of 2.

Project players.

You’re right, ALLBLUCAT. I know this is a different day and age but great coaches like Adolph Rupp and many others made their living on project players. When he was recruiting Dan Issel someone said he was not an SEC caliber player too. We could ask the SEC teams about that. LOL

bottom line to me...

cal is fanning the chicago rumors…

i don’t really have a problem with it as it is part of the package but IT IS part of the package on several levels. 1) he wants something out of uk 2) it sends a message to recruits that they can play for a NBA caliber coach in college 3) it keeps Cal’s name on the short lists of other GMs – just in case 4) it keeps UK’s name in the press 5) well you get the idea.

this whole chicago thing is vintage Cal…

well,

I’m sure memphis is a big boy and can speak for himself, but I’m going to step in here on his behalf until he gets the chance, and I want to say that he is indeed a UK fan, he’s been around here for quite awhile and he’s a very valuable member of the blog.

“The only one rule in my house” thing is just a joke (and I know you like jokes : )) about his household, you know, as in he’s raising his children on the ‘Cats? And furthermore, he is just stating his opinion about Coach Calipari in the above post based on when Cal was in Memphis and while the above is just his opinion, that is just kind of what we do around here, we throw out our opinions on all things UK. Just because he’s a UK fan doesn’t mean he automatically MUST think that Cal can do no wrong, he’s trying to look at the Cal-to-the-NBA thing objectively, and to be honest, I really appreciate his objectivity.

I found no harm in his post, I don’t think he was trying to post it as fact, and I’m sure he does indeed have a life. : )

Not sure if you will still be around adolph...

but since you have not been around, allow me to introduce myself. i moved to lexington KY in 1971 as a 2nd grader and became a wildcat fan – my parents still live inside circle road in the zandale area.

i have lived in memphis for 25 plus years – guess you can take the boy out of the bluegrass but you cannot take the wildcat out of the boy.

i watched Cal up close at memphis for 9 years. i would venture to say i have forgotten more things about him than you even know. my post was not “accusations” but simply my humble opinion based on watching him in memphis. he lived less than 1/2 mile from me, his son briefly went to the same private school as my son (until cal moved his son to a public school because he was recruiting kids from public schools) and i spoke to him from time to time at grizzlie games. i am not an expert on Cal – but again i have seen enough to make a comment. you are welcome to disagree but at least know with whom you are disagreeing….

on my motto – if you had been a member for any amount of time, you would know that i have 3 kids – 2 girls and a boy – all of which were born and raised in memphis but are uk fans – because of their old man. if you care, my son came home one day from his school – an all boys and all avid sec fans – and asked if it was okay if he liked the patriots (nfl). as oakland fan, i school could not ask him to like the trainwreck that al davis has become so i said that was ok. he then ask me if he could like the volunteers as his college football team. at that point, uk had not been to a bowl game in years and i could not ask him to pull for the trainwreck that uk football had been. my response was that i would let him pull for any team he wanted in any sport – except in college basketball, the only team he could pull for was uk. interestingly enough, he started watching uk football with woodson, etal and actually turned ME into a uk football fan. i have taken my kids to more uk football games in the last 3 years combined versus the previous 20……

anyway – hope you are still around to read this email…clearly your time in tennessee did not treat you well – must have been east tenn :)

I'm

personally done worrying about any of this until the signing period is over. We’ll get who we get and we’ll still be pretty good without these other guys. Has everyone forgotten that we have Brandon freaking Knight. The kid signed and then all this other mess happened along with the two signups for next year and all of a sudden he’s a shadow. This kid will carry us on his back if he has to. But he won’t because we’ll have Enes The Bull Kanter as well. This team is going to be a lot better than people are thinking.

by Clint Phelps on May 7, 2010 12:20 PM EDT reply actions  

I agree.

Assuming Kanter is cleared, and assuming Dodson leaves (though I hope he doesn’t), a starting 5 of Knight, Lamb, Miller, ?, and Kanter, backed up by Liggins, Harrelson, Hood, and Poole (of of whom would start) ain’t bad.

Cal likes an 8 man rotation, so, there ya go.

This is something we all need to have been prepared to deal with

When we hired Calipari last year, every UK fan should have been prepared for 3 things (at least) to occur annually: At least one One-And-Done player every other year (something he’s already outdone himself at), a change to a much quicker style of play with the inclusion of the Dribble-Drive offense, and a lot of drama/speculation during the off-season.

Calipari is a salesman of a basketball coach to the letter. He is consistently selling the program to recruits with the promise of a shot at NBA placement, selling the Alumni with the promise of a return to UK’s “glory days”, selling himself to fans as a trustworthy family man and caring coach which helps get him more sponsorships and TV air-time off the court, and selling the NBA on his coaching talents which make UK work harder to keep him coaching the Wildcats.

Let’s not forgot that Calipari has a checkered past in the NCAA. Vacating wins at two separate colleges shortly after leaving their programs for bigger jobs has not gone unnoticed. There are always going to be people who are bitter about this (rightfully so) and use this to develop an air of moral superiority with which they demonize him. People also tend to harbor the belief that One-And-Done basketball players are harming the integrity of the college game, and since Calipari openly recruits and encourages these types of players he has become “public enemy number one” in the eyes of these people (e.g., Bob Knight). These people want him out of college basketball and will do what they can to see that it happens sooner rather than later, and by spreading rumors and speculating out loud they think they can at least cast dispersions in his direction to that effect.

The point is, whether it’s the Bulls and LeBron this year or New Jersey and John Wall next year, John Calipari is a hot topic and will always be so, whether what’s being said about him is actual news or just conjecture. It’s going to happen, so just accept this as fact and try to not to place too much faith into news about John Calipari until he actually comes out and confirms it himself (or at least schedules a press conference around that time :) ).

by BlowOutYourBlood on May 7, 2010 3:01 PM EDT reply actions  

Also, as far as recruiting goes...

…I think looking into a Ju-Co transfer is something to look into at this point. Granted, a lot of great kids are still uncommitted at this point and many won’t decide until the NBA is over and done with, but getting a proven player interested in coming to UK is something to work on right now.

We got a (very) late break with John Wall committing last year and there is no reason to assume that the same could not happen this year with another good high school prospect. Guys like Remi Debo and Trevor Clemmins are still available and certainly have the potential to be excellent starters after a year working with Calipari.

But, best bet right now is to be prepared just in case Cal can’t work his magic in the final second of the recruitment season.

by BlowOutYourBlood on May 7, 2010 3:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

I hate to look ahead ... but for 2011 ..

There needs fo be some roster space for the 2011 commits … I guess we can honestly expect Knight to be a one and done type player … not sure any of the rest will be. The only senior we will have is Josh Harrellson … I guess the point is when Gilchrest, Teague and the others are ready to join .. there will have to be some space for them ….. AND playing time …. maybe we had a hard time landing Thornton because Gilchrest is already locked in for 2011.

You all know I keep to simple sports like football and don’t understand the fine points of basketball. But how can a school recruit four future, as in the next year future, one season and then have a difficult time filling its roster the next year? How I know we can fill the roster, take the starting five from The Dirt Bowl Championships over on Georgetown Street and let them walk on
Hey, so some of them didn’t graduate from high school. Do we really need student/athletes?
 I’m talking about a team that finished in the Elite Eight, had many openings and offers you a chance to play in the Dribble Drive Offense and you ain’t interested?!?

Simple to me. I like baseball over football.

Cal is the Cecil Fielder of recruiting. He takes monster swings recruiting. It’s beautiful and awesome when he connects, but he misses frequently. Big presence. Kind of a loud-mouth, but definitely lovable. Fun to watch. Make no mistake, you like the 45 homeruns, but the .240 average and 125 K’s makes him tough to love all the time. Leaves you wondering if he’s really good for the team. Never has been a real winner. Sometimes you even question the PED’s.

So many of us would prefer a Derek Jeter. Solid. Consistent. Hits for a high average with okay power. Delivers year after year. Team first kind of guy. Even BoSox fans admire him. As clean as they come. Big time winner and a hall-of-famer.

Like it or not, Cal is Cecil. He will never be Jeter.

Better Pick Another Analogy

In the last 5 seasons Calipari is: 33-4, 33-4, 38-2, 33-4 and 35-3 (most wins ever over such a period), a model of consistency and hardly analogous to a .240 hitter. How about this? In last 17 college seasons only Roy Williams (who BTW has more NCAA infractions) has won more games — solid long term success it appears. As far as K’s are concerned Calipari has recruited the nationally #2 ranked class, hardly a whiff — more like a leadoff double I would aver.
