We have a 2015 class signed that 95% of D-1 schools would give their left nut for, we run a solid 8/9 deep this year (without KF) and the AAC is down right now (giving us some margin for error). It doesn't matter how much money daddy has, you don't go from doormat to FF contender in three years. What Coach Brown has done is amazing. Breath it in and get your [deleted] to the game Saturday.
Let's not be pu$$ies about this.
That's the fact, Jack! I hate this for Keith though. I still think he still has a lot of upside in his development. I'll hold out hope we will see him on the court next year but if not there are many good student-athletes coming in. What will become of his towel's twitter account?

that may be the best post I have ever seen. I laughed out loud. Not a bad idea though. Everyone should bring a hand towel to the game on Sat

First, am a fan of KF; however, I have long questioned his basketball IQ resulting in many mistakes while he is on the floor. He is only now learning when to take a shot and not forcing bad shots. He is still a defensive liability most of the time and on offense subject to bad decisions and turn overs. I wish he were eligible, but we may be a better team with out him. I think that too many became enamored with his McDonald's status which has proven to be greatly over rated. I do not see him as pro material at this point in his development. He really needs LB and several years more experience for the next level. In the interim, this allows LB to better use his bench and give more playing time to kids who have as much if not more talent and who are not liabilities.

If this is your honest opinion about KF's game then I have a strong feeling you only watched the temple game. Temple is the only game this whole year where Keith had some issues defensively and really he only had a bad 5 minute stretch. Every other game he has not only been really solid. As far as turnovers are concerned, he has the second lowest turnovers per game for the starters (only behind Ryan), and he is doing the best for all the guards on the roster as far as rebounding. He has shot the ball well and improved his handles which has given him the ability to get in the lane for us as well. He is still not NBA ready but he already is a very good college level player.

I'm with Stallion. We won't know until we know, but this is why I pay for Rivals

Serious question. Did Rivals have any insight here? I checked Rivals this morning before I went to work and everything seemed ok. There is a poster there that everyone seems to have confidence in that said Keith is eligible and Adam seemed to be saying everything is ok. First time I found out is when I checked ponyfans at lunch.

Famous posters on Rivals have been wrong before.

I'm a little worried about the team's psyche.
