"Let me check Sportsthat before I go to bed. What? Terrence Jones is a Wildcat?!?! That Dirty, rotten John Calipari! I hope he burns in hell!" After this the Washington Husky drowned his sorrows with a fifth of Jack Daniels and was later arrested on charges of driving under the influence.
Imagine that you are a Washington Huskies basketball fan. Your team has just come off of an impressive regular season in the Pac 10. You have two legitimate stars returning to play next year in Isiah Thomas and Quincy Pondexter. Terrence Ross, 4 star recruit, and Terrence Jones, 5 star recruit, are joining a good team to make it even better! Life is good, expectations for next season are sky high and there is every reason in the world to think about being a contender.
And then your best recruit is gone like a puff of smoke. You had reason to believe that this might happen after the immediate waffling Jones exhibited after he put on that U-Dub hat. He would not sign a letter of intent. He said he still had a decision to make. Well, he made that decision. And instead of wearing purple next season he will be wearing blue. Royal blue.
Now all the hatred and anger can be focused on John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats! That sleazy grease ball swooped in and took their guy right from under their noses! Those no good, dirty, arrogant, narcissistic, Wildcats! Who do they think they are? The Los Angeles Lakers?
Here's the scoop U-Dubbers: I think Jones wanted to be a Cat all along. I think it was a hard decision to move away from his family on the West Coast to a team in the Souteast. It was hard to leave behind his best friend, Ross, whom he talked about playing with in college since the eighth grade. But the system at Kentucky is better. The fans at Kentucky are better. The coaches at Kentucky are better. The facilities at Kentucky are better. The spotlight at Kentucky is bigger. The success rate at Kentucky is better. The tradition at Kentucky is better. Everything at Kentucky is better.
While I feel bad for Washington...wait, no I don't. I'm glad Jones is coming and the kid made the right choice. He did what he thought is best for him. I now think John Calipari should schedule a game with Washington so we can rub it in their faces a little more. Heck, I can't wait for basketball season to start now! We have solidified our 4 spot and added another 5 star recruit! It's great being a Cats fan! Coach Cal has once again recruited the best class in the nation and is looking to do so again next year. One man's despair is another man's joy. Sorry Washington, you just got into a fist fight with the biggest, baddest dude on the block and you lost. Just like Louisville. Two words: Marquis Teague.
P.S. Dear Washington fans, don't forget that Enes Kanter was also a former Washington commit. Nanny-Nanny-boo-boo. The Istanbull is a Cat!
Van you revise, Louisville played Cal in the first round.
ReplyDeleteMy mistake. All Pac 10 teams are the same to me.
