I mean, we have a higher ranked class than Kentucky right now.[/quote]
No UK fan has knocked Cals' recruiting, he always gets HIS players.
I'll just say this...
Cal is great at doing Cal things and the things Cal likes to do.
He is not so great at other things. You will come to...

After we beat Mizzou a few times in a row, that game got pretty salty. Now without divisions, that budding rivalry will cool.
I agree with UL and UT. They are co-number ones for me in both bball and fball. UF is a close third, but more on the bball side over the long haul. ...

Moving off of Richmond Road. That's all I care about. :dude:...
re: After your team's spring game, how you feeling about the upcoming season?
Posted by The Architect on 4/15/24 at 1:49 pm
Guarded optimism. Defense should be pretty decent. Offense has some weapons, but I am not going to let myself think we'll score 30+ points per game.
I do believe that the offensive tempo will be increased significantly from previous years....
re: Hitler is very upset about losing Coach Cal to Arkansas

It's funny to make reference to the worst, most dominant fascist leader this planet has known in regards to Cal, since Cal is the closest version of a fascist leader in college basketball. It's all about Calipari and his way and his guys.
Good laughs though. I always like these clips....

All we need to do is play a junk zone defense and run pick and roll offense relentlessly.
Hogs will fold like a cheap card table. Easy 20 point dub....
re: So Kentucky is going with the alumnus hire like UNC and Duke

Cal lost my support about 5 years ago (but the slide started after the 2015 failure).
That said, I am on board with this hire for Kentucky.
Do I think Barnhart was maybe a little early with this hire? Yes.
Do I think he overreacted to all the things Cal represented? Maybe.
He got a polar o...
Mark Pope

Imma put this here where maybe some level-headed people will read it.
Mitch hiring Mark Pope might be premature (we could have got him at the last hour). It might be a risk. But here's why I think it's the perfect hiring decision from Mitch's perspective.
Mitch will be retiring soon or moving ...

re: UK fans - Kenny Payne

Payne made himself available to kids at literally all hours the way I understand it. Cal's coaching can be a bitter pill (and frankly confusing sometimes), and I think he was the milk and cookies that helped the medicine go down....

Of course it is, that's what this site is about.
Saying a coach's legacy is nonsense is kinda nonsense, though. It also reinforces the point that Cal's Way only works for Cal. He hasn't handed down any traits that his assistants have been able to replica...

Reading through all these Cal threads, Kentucky fans are trying hard to tell us how bad Cal was and Arkansas fans are so happy to be in a relevant conversation they can't stop talking shite. Definitely been entertaining.[/quote]

Cal has a formula to get talent and roll out the basketballs. I would venture that he surrounds himself with "yes" men willing to go along with what he perpetuates. Anybo...

Posted by The Architect on 4/10/24 at 2:22 pm
1. Not gonna happen.
2. More likely you will have a roster full of McD's All Americans that will lose in the Final Four or Elite 8 one year, with 5 kids getting drafted in the first round. He would call the draft day the biggest day in Ark basketball history.
3. If it did, then good for him. And ...

John Calipari says at Arkansas, NIL will be ready for him, he doesn't have to "go out and do it anymore."
"The other thing to change is figuring out our roster, and you have to go in now and have NIL ready, which the school will do. I don’t have to go out and do it anymore. I had to at K...

I wanted Cal gone to get rid of all the BS “Cal-isms”, lack of actual Xs and Os coaching, complete indifference to the teaching of fundamentals, inability ty to defend the simplest of basketball actions (pick and roll), failure to do pregame pressers, dodging post game pressers, not owning his failu...
