Serious Answer
Pre Cal
UK had few NBA stars after college but won 7 Natty's with 4 different coaches over decades and decades
Cal
Had one of the most envied NBA list of recruited players yet managed only 1 Natty over a decade and more. That 1 Natty came from "The Brow" and a player who was old school.
You tell me if Hogs got the next Curry or Jimbo?
I will hang up and listen.

Revisionist history.
Actually, pre Cal you went through some pretty bad years
You hired Sutton away from us in when he had turned to the bottle. Frank Broyles had been on him about his drinking and when KY came calling it was easier to leave than deal with it
The experiment failed booster set Eddie up to be the fall guy with NCAA and the program suffered.
Hired PItino very good coach brought pride and respect back to KY but he left
Then you went through the Tubby. Billy years. Sure Tubby won a title but it was Pitinos team. I mean Berry Switzer won a super bowl with the cowboys but we know.
When Billy was let go your coaching search wasnt going well. Some KY fans felt Cal was beneath them due to Ncaa stuff even when he was hired to save the day.
Cal fed the beast up until the landscape changed. The transfer portal change the dynamics more so than NIL. It made it harder to win with freshman. The fact that two of the three demands Cal had for Arkansas were increased NIL and getting transfers qualified speaks volumes on the handcuffs he was in at Ky. You cant gripe at the man for having all fresmen when your transfer restriction are unrealistic for the avg. College basketball players

Only 3 since the tournament expanded to 64 teams. A couple of those natty’s were from when there were only 8 teams in the tournament.
