Oh shut the frick up.
Calipari is a used cars salesman, he fricking sucks as a coach and your facilities have fallen behind many SEC schools. I'll give you fan support, the most 80 year old fans that I've ever seen in one place. Quietest "Blue Blood" arena I've ever been to.

To your point...
UK isn't getting past the Sweet 16.
Monk's jersey will be thrown in the closet with Nerlens Noel's.
He'll be a lottery pick.

yes of course he chose UK bc of the program! these situations where the 5 star has a family member who's a 'handler' are always clean, by the code situations.

Is his brother Marcus Monk? The WR from DMAC era
Posted on 2/15/17 at 7:53 am to GreyReb
Yes, Marcus who's benefitted greatly from being a former hog and they/he/both/whoever chose UK because Arkansas has never put anyone in the pros and our games aren't televised where agents/pro scouts would ever know Malik existed so the decision was based purely on his future.

Apparently he was only going to come to Arkansas if we gave his brother a job. I'm of the opinion that we should have at this point b/c our staff is full of shitty ex player assistants anyways so why not add one more to get an elite player.
Can't blame the guy for going to kentucky and being all over ESPN every game though

Yes we had a chance, he hung around they players all through HS. Calicrapi shows up blowing smoke and Marcus his big brother was mad at Anderson for not hiring him to be on the staff and poof! He gone!
We have a great Arkansas HS class coming through the next two years and they are all committed. Now Calicrapi will try again with a couple of them, I hope they stick.

Hmmm, how many players has UK/Cal put in the NBA vs UofA/Anderson? Monk made the smart, correct, business decision...two semesters on the best NBA D-league team posing as a college team and then off for the draft. No way he was going to Arkansas.
Steve, you need to rethink WHY UK/Cal have put so many players in the NBA. Do you really think those 'recruits' UK gets wouldn't have made it to the NBA if they had gone somewhere else? The coaching and exposure those kids get at UK is not the reason they are drafted after one year. It's the talent they already had.

What has that 1 title Cal has brought you guys cost by now? 2 mill? 3? Sure the revenues offset the cheating costs somewhat, but what you make in basketcheats you lose in football
Yeah, UK can have all that basketball success but they'll never know what it's like to win all the football ships like Arkansas

I'm sure TJ Cleveland doesn't bring too much to the table...Marcus could have taken his place on the bench.

Just like UK will win another ship in BB before LSU in football or BB.

Don't forget that Tyson chicken money... Billary should have been able to drum up some sort of Arky blackmail to keep him instate but I guess they have moved on to be full time New Yorkers

The other reason to pick UK is that you will practice against other lottery picks for months. Iron sharpens iron.

Arky fans talking shite to Kentucky fans about basketball? Y'all are fricking delusional I swear

You seem insecure. LSU was never mentioned. I was just pointing at how silly it is for the Arky fan to say "you haven't won a basketball title in 5 years and you never win anything at football!!" When they have as many SEC football titles as you do.
Oh and UK will win a ship in BB, LSU will win a ship in football all before Arky wins anything important - per usual.
