The beginning of the end for Calipari

You know UK fans are on the board. If you guys don’t want to hear from us then don’t start threads about UK. Otherwise you can all go back to fighting about your AD
What's hilarious about this post is its nonsense.

Of course people understand UK fans will roll over here when they see their name in lights. Honestly, I can't believe the hypocrisy of even our own fans, lol. Trolling is trolling. Be who you are, space is too big not to, lol.

I too think he is done. W/O 5 top 10 players who are ALSO future NBA all stars he has no shot. He now gets K's leftovers. Stick a fork in him.
 
Wow....4 in a row in the SEC. Good job Coach Cal. Keep it up big guy
Smh....
Afraid it ain't quite over. For the Cat/ Cal haters on here ( and I am just guessing there's quiiiiiiiiiiiiite a few) this is a gift that will keep on giving.
Terribly flawed team of athletes. In Caliparis post game rant, he summed up in really five words...."I've let these guys down...."

Kinda hard to disagree

Well I doubt he is all that distraught about his bad investment this time around. There's always the next class. Maybe his next class will be better. Playing the recruiting game is a lot like playing the stock market. Sometimes you lose out.
 
Like I said. We’re down........until we ain’t. Enjoy this
Likewise. I got nothing to enjoy. I mean a really bad UofK team still kicked the ever living shit out of my Cards so you got that to hang your hat on. All I have to look forward to is an ongoing FBI investigation with a rookie coach and an NCAA appeals ruling to wait for. It's fun!
 
Heard a potential stat that I have no idea if it's true... If the slappies lose to Bama this weekend, it will be the 2nd longest losing streak in LPT program history.

You still have to play the games. Hasn't gone their way for sure. However, I recall plenty of people talking about Kentucky being the youngest team in the country and the youngest team in the ken pom era.

It’s the system he embraces and desires and now you’re complaining because you got what he wished for. Can’t use it as an excuse. In fact, the more successful teams he’s had is because some guys weren’t talented enough to leave (not because they love lessington or coach cow).

I agree. His system is one of high risk and high reward. Now, it has worked out favorably 80-90 percent of the time. But with the roster turning over every year we run the risk of having years like this. We will have to see how this year plays out and how we set up for next year.

I like the one and done model just fine. But I hate to see the multi year talent leave to early and leave us with no veteran leadership. This is what we are seeing right now. Bridge year? Perhaps.

It wasn't enough for Uk to beat the Cards this year by 29 points. No, Uk has to rub it in more and make UofL's loss look even worse by losing multiple games in a row now in SEC play. We get it. Tell your guys their insidious plan to make UofL's loss to them look super duper terrible is succeeding!

;)
 
LOL...where was that talk four months ago?

That's fair enough. I really thought the pure talent was their to be up to an elite 8 team....but foolish me I thought Diallo was a legit guard. Also thought at least three, maybe four of these kids would cowboy up and live to some of the hype. Wellllllll......there ya go. Hope it pans out for the five that go.

Unfortunately I lack the ability to see into the future. Besides, did I say this was a bridge year? Maybe it is and maybe it isn’t. Guess we will have to wait to see won’t we. Don’t put words in my mouth hoss.

Don't be too hard on yourself... Your buddy in this thread is STILL debating me that the kid isn't 'woefully short on actual basketball skills'. At least you get credit for not continuing to make yourself look like an idiot.

And note Rocky, I didn't say you ARE an idiot...

No the issue is the guys who aren’t going to the next level will be pushed out so cow can get next group of one and dones. So he has to lie either to the guys coming in and saying they will play right away or lie to the guys returning thinking they have a chance to earn playing time. Oh what a vicious web we tangle.

I called you a drama queen who over exaggerates and embellishes to get attention. No single D1 player is woefully bad at basketball. I never said he was awesome. I never even said he would be good. I just said he wouldn’t be “woefully” bad because nobody is. This whole discussion took place before the season. It’s too late to re-write the narrative. I don’t want to hijack the thread. If you still want have a rock fight then we can do it in the other thread

His most important recruits right now are the ones already wearing blue

Just bumped it yesterday... I don't think you made another appearance, and I don't blame you.

I’m a busy man. I don’t have that Zipp-level free time. I can’t wear sweatpants in the middle of the day.
Oh, but you can troll every other slappy-related post. You're more credible debating what "is" means...

Those two guys, with beer guts hanging from their uk shirts, are our soon to be named newest members of our BOT. They both are real close to Bevin. Where I live there are already many uk fans done with Cal and have been for awhile due to his lack of coaching acumen. Also, they hate him because he thinks winning #1 in recruiting should have banners raised.
