He had the best 1 and done talent in the country at UK. Doubling the NIL budget won't double the talent. In fairness, everyone may be paying double for the same talent in the NIL era, but the point is that talent was never the problem for Cal at UK.


I don't care what NIL Arkansas has, no way he gets the talent to Arkansas like he did at UK.

However, he was really good at UMass and Memphis before UK, so he has already proven he can win without the top talent. One of the most accomplished coaches anywhere.

The question is...Will Arkansas get 1990-2020 Calipari or 2021-2024 Calipari?

He will absolutely get similar talent at Arkansas for several reasons.


1. He’s Coach Cal. Those recruits are committed to him, not Kentucky. He got big time recruits at stops other than Kentucky. If Saban took the Ole Miss job, he would still get five stars based on his brand.

2. Arkansas’s NIL budget for basketball is very large.

3. Arkansas as a program is capable of elite recruiting. We signed three five stars two years ago under not Coach Cal.
