Wheatgerm, you are comical at best. You guys cry like a spanked child when a player decommits and then claim you didn’t want him in the first place. Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt!

I would love for you to provide one shred of evidence that Anthony Davis’ father received anything from the University of Kentucky, other than a scholarship for his son. Bring it! Show your hand. If not, shut up!

If Lyles met with William Wesley for any reason, what is this to UK? Again, all you got is speculation and you guys thrive on it! Come back when you can provide some proof!

Wheatgerm….Lyles’ parents found out what type of drunken place Bloomington is and didn’t want their son going to the disgusting place. Even Bobby Knight agreed to play KY away from Bloomington. The 2012 National Champs do not need to play a team like IU who is coming of NCAA probation for CHEATING.

Boo hoo hoosier. What in the world are they going to do this year whey they don’t get to be the underdogs anymore and their December games mean something to another team?

Wheatgerm, if Lyles was never wanted in IU country then why was he offered at such a young age and hundreds and hundreds of followups after the commitment over 2 years ago? If dakich is so certain of the UK visit why didnt he just give the NCAA a quick call? There wasnt a visit in the first place until Sept, and I wish you and all the rest of the coach CAL haters out there would just look at the facts as reported by the enforcement dept. in the NCAA,that he was never charged with or found guilty of any NCAA infractions. I guess you will just say that CAL is just smarter than the entire investigative wing at the NCAA.

The IU fan perspective, courtesy of Inside the Hall: Dak is a great guy who speaks his mind, and he’s 99% percent certain that what he said is true. Although Lyles is a top 10 recruit, we don’t want anything to do with him. Never wanted him anyway. Said UNC was his dream school. The father insisted on an assistant coaching position at IU. He’s shopping his son to the highest bidder, like Anthony Davis’ father did. Lyles will end up at Kentucky, who is paying the most for his services, and be a one-and-done. UK caught lightning in a bottle last year; you can’t win national championships doing what the Squid is doing. And if the NCAA won’t hold UNC accountable for fake classes to keep their athletes eligible, it won’t investigate another flagship program for a visit during the dead period (when Lyles met WWW). Good riddance.

That’s what 18 pages of IU fan comments boil down to. A couple wanted to cut the kid a break and chastised the others for reacting so badly to the decommitment, but they were instantly suspected of not being real IU fans and probably Kentucky fans in disguise.

Dakich seems to be picking up the Bobby Knight mantle of half truths, empty accusations, and double talk. This speaks volumes of the once proud IU program.

THATS WHY CALIPARI DISCONTINUED THE SERIES…CREAN TOO MUCH A CLASS ACT TO HAVE TO CONSTANTLY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FALLOUT COMING IN THE YEARS AHEAD.

This goes back to the UK/IU dislike for one another or maybe the game in the tournament whatever the reason it is really dubious timing of this info. Dakich used this piece of as of yet documented news to damage UK and this kids future just because he decommited. It sounds like IU hasnt shown any interest since he decommited even though Lyles had IU still on top, not very smart.

Not only sour grapes, but it sounds like child’s play. Wonderful if Mr. Kakich will go on his radio station and do the same when IU gets a visit from a player who had de-committed from another University? Oh, that may hae already happenede anyway.

Just because a talk radio person said it happened does not mean it happened. Consider the source.

Sounds like sour grapes to me and totally uncalled for. Complete lack of class on Dakich’s part.
