Z has a lot of potential upside. NGL, I'm sad to see him go. Hope he does well for y'all at Arkansas.

No Cal has his system. It's why teams like St. Peters, Oakland and countless others already know what he is going to do.

Yes he will win some big games, but then he will lose some that will make you think how the hell did that happen.

Then you'll hear we got a young team, blah, blah, blah...

I never said Big Z was bad. I said the jury is still out. I see he has the potential to be great, just has to adjust his game to the college level. You got a good player.

Arkentucky fans , well, at least some here, are unnecessarily showing their arse. You got our former coach on his way out, our recruits, and some of our players. You realize you are hyped on being something based on raiding your rivals kitchen. It's cuckish as frick, and hilarious all at the same time. That racist dumbass Richardson is probably sitting somewhere cutting himself to feel right now.

You no longer have your own identty. You'll now be 'Lil UK, UK SW , or ARKENTUCKY.

What happened to "Anyone but Cal"? UK fans should be rejoicing, not bleeding Red.

Stealing your coach and recruits makes Arkansas a cuck?
If you are watching it happen, I have news for you.

A coach told he had one more year to get his shite straight or step isn't stealing cuck. You got a guy on the run that didn't like another grown man giving him an ultimatum. Point. Blank. Period.

Also, good on you lil fella. However, it's weird seeing a rival get all foamy and lathered like a cuck for shelling out a lot of cash for a rivals beat up scraps.

So yeah. Cuck away.

Arkansas didn't have a coach and hired a good one.
Calling that behavior cuckish is really odd. Kentucky fans seem way more obsessed with whatever Cal is doing, than Arkansas fans are with the guy you hired.

So this is from your fan site
https://www.si.com/college/arkansas/razorbacks-kentucky-pope-calipari-sec-fans

From the article....

quote:

The gentleman posting on behalf of the Wildcats is right. Kentucky is different.

Kentucky has one NCAA Tournament win this decade.
Arkansas has eight.
Kentucky is the king maker of lower seeds this decade.
Arkansas hasn't lost to a lower seed all decade.
Kentucky needed four times as much clock to father roughly twice as many fans.
Arkansas knew fans would turn out in the most inconvenient of circumstances.

All the Wildcats proved by trying to show up Arkansas with no context is how desperate they've looked all week.

It's OK though. Kentucky has been through a rough time, so they deserve a bit of grace.


Who the frick do you think was the coach that put us in that situation? You "stole him away from us" You saved us a 33.4 million buyout. You stole a coach that was looking at Ohio State before he settled for Arkanas.

You stole a coach and his players that were bounced in the first round to Oakland. And yet you want to tell us how much we have fallen. This is like watching a team claim they have hit the lottery when, in actuality, they won the Special Olympics.

Can't wait for next season....don't say you werent warned.

Only one of us sounds angry here. I do find it amusing that the temperament flipped from "Big Z is a great fit for our new coach" to "he's dumb, he's a liability, time will tell, etc"

Good luck with your new hire, I believe Arkansas fans understand Calipari isn't at the top of his game anymore but most of us also understand that Kentucky has very big shoes to fill in that role.

So, about your players we'll get soon. Who should we be most upset about not getting the coaching they deserve?

It's hard to say till the dust is settled on who is going where, but I think the default answer will be the freshman who haven't played college ball yet. You would have to think players that were on the team this year will be better next year by default for no reason other than experience, age, and practice.

Did someone like big Z look good and awkward last year, and struggled on defense? Yes, but that should diminish by default this year, regardless of coaching. Agree?

If you get a chuckle out of temperament flips, go check out what the Hogs really think of Cal a few hundred pages back on this forum. Have been around long enough to remember the early days of message boards when Cal was at Memphis. Brutal would be an understatement.

Whole lotta turd eating going on down there and would imagine a fair amount of scrubbing socials.

Not angry at all. Just tired of the relentless nonsense that most of your fanbase has somehow convinced yourselves that now you have arrived...

It is going to be a fun time in Fayetteville. I am happy that you all are excited about the future of your program.

The SEC needs competition, but remember, that UK owns the basketball conference. Obviously, we haven't the last few years which is why we have someone who gets it. Our fans want a coach who understands that NCAA tournaments and championships are important. The SEC titles matter too.

You will have a top-five recruiting class year after year. Numerous one-and-dones Burger boys, and all the lights and glamour that go with it. Will make Ark look like the destination to be. Cal will bring so many big names to your program that most will forget who they are in a year.

Cal will win some big games for your program, but again, he is going to get rolled by some teams that will leave you wondering why they lost that game.

No one is arguing or disputing these facts.

But to think he leaves the most winning program in the NCAA for Ark is laughable. He chose to leave the program on his own, we didn't force him out.

If he was producing at a high level, he never would have left.

He knew he had overstayed and was looking for an escape route, which is why he was looking at Ohio State in February. Again, good luck with your season.

Above average. Decent 3 pt shot, ball handling, and passing game. Could probably stand to get a little more physical on D and rebounding.

I hoped he would stay at UK.

I wouldn't worry too much about what Lefty says about Arkansas. He hates anything to do with the state for whatever reason.
