If anything, you hire Cal to bring in 5-star freshmen.

Which he does, but is proven it doesn't work. You are welcome to become pignba, but Kentucky fans were tired of it because the results weren't there.

Exactly Cal had a tough time in the portal. Stated he had to go out and beg for NIL money and then even if they wanted to sign had to get through KYs ridiculously high transfer acceptance standards. Probably why Dope could only get role players and no stars in this class

A Kentucky fan just posted that Calipari’s reputation is in shambles, and you’re claiming Arkansas fans are delusional?

Whats funny is they are talking about the game in Rupp this year and how loud its gonna be lol. What ar they gonna do shoot the blue hairs up with meth as they enter? Rupp has never been loud or intimidating. Cal has been to Fayetteville when he was the enemy. Rupp has nothing on the Bud Walton.

Cal recuits "talent" but he got lucky with Anthony in getting the "heart" to go with that talent.

He will bring in talent.

And he'll coach them as he has in these, his lackluster golden years

I never said I was a fan of it. However, bringing in talent can’t hurt.

Coaches with talent win more games. News at 11.

Just last night I watched a NBA second round playoff game where SGA, a MVP candidate, was being guarded by PJ Washington, a starter. It dawned on me that these guys were teammates at UK. That same UK team actually had 7-8 NBA players on it.

Then I read this thread and was reminded of all the transfers UK has had recently. UK just had an all-american in Reeves. Before that was a unanimous NCAA national player of the year with Oscar. Along with that was an all-sec transfer in Wheeler. The list goes on and on.

Despite all these great freshman and all these great transfer players, UK fans were still ready to run Cal out of town.

But Arkansas fans still try and trash talk Kentucky fans.

Look, you’ll win some games and have some great players. No one has argued otherwise. Kentucky was just done with Cal’s best being not that good enough. If you all are fine with, it then have at it.

I want to say it's hope, but I think some of these guys think they got the 2010 Cal and not the 2020 Cal.

Cal can recruit. Coaching is his weakness. Of course,we keep saying this and they think it will be different somehow.

Not true, look at all the "talent" Cal had yet, did not win.

Cal can recruit, no doubt

Cal can get the fans excited, no doubt

Where Cal has issues

#1 In game coaching adjustments, cost him many a game

#2 Listening to others when he is wrong

If the Hogs can fix those, you will do well. If not, prepare for disappointment.

He won at Kentucky. Then he got old. Do you plan on making him younger somehow?
