I expect no sympathy. This team just flat out sucks. Calipari can’t keep attempting to do this with one and done’s. The two successful seasons I consider he’s had were the 2012 National Title team and the 38-1 team. Mainly because players came back for another year to help the young guns.

He’s obviously not gonna get fired, but he’s definitely at the crossroads. He’s a hell of a recruiter, but he isn’t as good as Rick Pitino was as a coach. Pitino could develop talent as good as anyone. The 1996 UK team is still the best I’ve seen.

You shouldn’t expect much out of your USC baseball team either.

I’ve lived in Kentucky my whole life. It’s a basketball state so I grew up watching Pitino and UK. The BAMA football comes from my Dad’s side of the family.

I don’t care much for basketball anymore. I’m a football guy

You grew up as:

A Kentucky basketball fan
A Alabama college football fan
Probably a Dallas Cowboys fan
Probably a Detroit Red Wings fan
Probably a New York Yankees fan.

IMO this is revisionist history of Pitino in his prime at UK.

He regularly owned Pitino at UofL and broke even at worst at Memphis. I’m pretty sure on the college level the only place Cal has a losing record versus Pitino was at UMass.

Yet you claim to be an Alabama football fan.

Kentucky fan status:


ACCEPTED {DENIED}

If you can't ride with Stoops then you can't ride with the basketball team. (Not that it's really a threat right now, but y'all get my point.)

You sound like a “concern troll” to be honest. I wish folks would quit with the fake feeling worried about UK basketball. Lord have mercy it’s getting goofy.
