Finally, some sanity in these posts. Thank you, Dickie.Dickie Dunn wrote:But for 1-2 free throws or a timely late foul, I think Derrick Rose would disagree with you.
With all that horrible, tear jerking player movement, Memphis struggled, only getting as far as the CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, and numerous #2 seeds in the tournaments. I'm always amazed when there is a game that goes into overtime, takes a miracle shot, a hail mary pass, a lucky bloop single and a close-minded type of person thinks that the team that didn't win fell so short that they aren't deserving of accolades. Dominate a game, sure. But in the case of the Memphis game, hitting just one of those foul shots or fouling on the last shot and Kansas would not have won.
When a team is up nine with two minutes to go in the national championship game, I think it's valid to argue that they were national champion-caliber.umassfan0000 wrote:woulda, coulda, shoulda.....It didn't happen. Until it does, there is no valid argument.
As for the notion that he brings in recruits that stay for only a year...if they're the best players in the country, why not? And there were plenty of seasoned vets on his last Memphis teams -- Anderson, CDR, Dozier, Dorsey, Taggart -- to debunk the thought that he only gets one-and-done guys.

PG
I'm a longtime lurker but avid Umass BBall fan. Since Calipari got John Wall and he has 4 more players than scholarships (mentioned on ESPN), I wonder if he might send a PG to his good buddy, DK. Pardon if this is in the wrong thread.
