re: Calipari to Arky?

[quote]I think it’s down to Hurley[/quote]
He’s officially out. Looks like they’ve locked in on Utah States coach now after Oates, and Hurley passed. Billy hasn’t released an official dismissal but said in a presser last night he was focused on his team.
Pearl very quiet ...

Hurley seams unlikely after 2peating. And not known to chase money. Billy would be an idiot to come back to NIL.
Pearl could see it as his last hooray to win the big one. Much easier to get the Jimmies and Joes at UK and they’ll probably be ready to give a bag after Cal embarrassed them. UK the b...

[quote]Growing pains are the rule.[/quote]
No such thing anymore with NIL. We supposed to keep paying him 1M a year until he figures it out? Hard pass. With AAU and travel ball these freshman come in ready to play now. Of course players will get marginally better over time but for a program of ou...

[quote]the turds hire a guy that seems to put a better product on the court. [/quote]
Oats is shittinh on Pearl in scouting, recruiting, development, and coaching. What’s more crazy is the rise of moo state, South Carolina, Tamu, and others. The majority of the SEC is relavant. Hard to believe...

Just remember we pay almost as much as anyone to “get in” the tournament.
I believe Bruce is top 3 or 4 maybe 5 highest paid ...

[quote]For us to be where we want to be we need more than Dylan has to offer at the starting spot. He’s great as a backup who injects energy and defends the rim well, but ultimately he’s far too limited on offense to start. Plus he might foul out of every game if he starts.[/quote]
Exactly. We al...

[quote]Just a reminder that literally this season we won 27 games, an SEC tourney title, and were a game away from a regular season title. We spent most of the season ranked and much of the season in the top 15. [/quote]

[quote]The entire history of our basketball suggests otherwise. To flippantly suggest we can easily upgrade the best basketball coach we’ve ever had is dumb, even for you.[/quote]
I guess it depends on what you consider an upgrade? Would you take a 20 win regular season and multiple wins in the t...

[quote]We want to be super every year but heck Kansas and Kentucky can’t even do it[/quote]
As a purest I don’t expect to be super every year. I do expect to be a good rebounding team, defensively sound, high efficiency in fg% and high bball IQ.
For the most part Pearl does this

Why is that? We could pay a lot of good D1 coaches not to mention mid major guys.

Jboy Rips into Bruce Pearl
Posted by AUtigR24 on 3/23/24 at 4:09 pm
Says stop crying and win the damn game
No other coaches crying about playing in Spokane
Says Pearl is handsomely paid and shits the bed when it matters
Hasn’t done shite since 2019 in the tournament
Doesn’t give a damn about the SEC tourney (the committee surely doesn’t)
Has all th...
re: Does Bruce’s insistence on depth through rotation hurt us in the tournament?
Posted by AUtigR24 on 3/23/24 at 1:05 pm
Rotation is what made us good. If you just take our starting 5 we’re pretty meh.
That’s my biggest qualm with Pearl his scouting
Look around the league at Sears, Kinect, Hubbard, the guard from TamU
Every year other coaches find these studs and we haven’t had one since Jabari.

Hope he transfers. I see no dog in him. Pgs will be a dime a dozen in the Portal. Can pick one up and save a lot of NIL to use on a big man and another scorer ...
