Let's see what happens. Who wants to come to Fayetteville and play?

Arkansas fans keep saying this, but it was never the issue. Not at KY with Cal and not at Arky with Muss.

Even with a minor upgrade in roster, there’s literally no recent evidence that Cal is going to win conference championships or make deep March runs with top talent.

Maybe he upgrades assistants or maybe he starts working harder, but Cal’s problems were never roster based. Oats would have made at least 2-3 E8s and 1-2 Final 4 runs with Cal’s rosters in the past 5 seasons (and probably 5-6 SECC/SECT). The jury is out on what Cal will do at Arky, but recent evidence suggests he’ll flame out most years and now KY gets a free coaching upgrade.

Muss at Arky > Cal at KY (last 5 years)
Cal at Arky < new coach at KY

It was a panic hire that they are HOPING works out.
