So UKortho is his only account? LOL at those of you that can’t fathom someone bashing Cal would have alternate accounts but others would. Hypocrisy at its finest. It’s why many of you can’t be respected or taken seriously.

OP showed his cards when he said someone else in this thread might have info…..he was clearly alluding to Russelreserve1 who’s been banned twice in the last week. LOL! Russelreserve (without the “1”) for calling IL Wildcat a loser and jimerussel before that. Guy has dozens of names and the OP runs with that crowd. A thread was taken down quickly the other day that said Rupp’sRunt was banned for three months and one of the old Russel accounts said there was “a group email, lol” when asked how he knew how long his ban was for. Handily of queens on a group email with dozens of accounts making a mockery of this site. Ruppsrunt and Gromcat leading the charge. Some of you are so naive!!
I see the mod liked this post. If possible, please check to see if I have another account. I don’t and will never post here again if the mod can prove it. You have whatever permission you need to look into my account.

that is exactly what I think
he will want to be here for the incoming class & then leave
Thing is he will have to produce with that class under the UK microscope. I think he knows he can’t.

Solution?

Get out from under the microscope

Whether his info comes to fruition or not, WTH do you want him to say. Give the time and date that CCC leaves Lex???
No, say nothing at all if that’s all he has or ‘can say’. He gave nothing. ‘Cal is leaving’. ‘I have a source’. That is ridiculous. That is what’s wrong with the internet. Anyone can say something like that at any time about any issue.

Very credible source.
There are no orthopods currently sitting on the Board and from your handle, you're neither Barnhart or an assistant AD. And it's still the first part of January. While I hope you're right, color me more than a little skeptical of your assertion.

He said it came from inside the basketball program itself.

I read Ortho's posts. Supposedly someone "in the know" inside the UK athletic department shared very delicate, inside information with Ortho and then essentially okayed Ortho posting it on a non-paywall message board. I hope Ortho's assertions are true, but for reasons which should be obvious at this point, I'm not buying it. Reasonable minds can differ.

I think this sums up the problem with the whole thread.

The high profile players coming in, almost like never before, kind of makes me want Cal back one more year. Almost have the feeling that maybe even a coach like that would have a hard time totally messing up a team that highly touted.
I think we need to change the culture here. Get a leader that gets good players builds them into a good team, and guys that actually want to be here. Not guys that are here just passing time until they can leave. Those guys don’t give a crap about what UK basketball stands for. This is not directed at all our players, but definitely some. Prima donnas running around playing twice as many minutes as they deserve trying to impress scouts and NBA people ain’t getting it done. Next year could be a better year for sure with those players, but then what will the next year look like? Who knows. Stabilization and rock solid results year after year are what UK basketball has been for me for my decades of watching.

I like how the @CatPhight alias has shown up within 24 hours after being dormant for months like clockwork the last two times gromcat has been banned. 🤣

You guys are embarrassingly immature but aren’t fooling anyone that has higher than a middle school education. 😂

Where’s @Backer cutter with his claim that he knows how far apart certain posters live? A moderator sharing sensitive info with regular users on a group text maybe??? We may be getting into a legal situation now!! Top of the day, sir!! 🤣
I’m right here. What are you rambling about now

He'll be a freshman next year. I'm sure you're right, but only about next year.

Kentucky isn't building a successful team around Reed shepherd. He will be one of many pieces but most likely never the piece. We are still gonna have to recruit some bigger guns and transfer portal studs as well.

Did u not watch 2015?
Maybe Cal should have gone to Booker/Ulis in the Wisc game but Booker was in the midst of a major slump and hadn't played well all tournament. If not for a missed shot clock violation, UK more than likely wins that game. If they had won, they would have steamrolled Duke in the finals like they did UCLA earlier in the year. Not sure how that is Cal messing up a team that is hightly touted.

Could very well be right, best for the long run. Just hate not seeing what a team like that could do, even with a bad floor coach.

No, he said in the basketball program.

I see what you're referring to. He said inside Ky athletics, you took that as the athletics department. He later clarified and said the basketball program itself.

But on a related note, how may hours until 10-7?

If so, he should resign now. Much of his or anyone's departure is due in large part to the wishes of his wife, not wanting to see him constantly maligned so he's stressed or unhappy, or in this case, the counsel of his daughters.

He doesn't look well to us compared to ten years ago because this does wear on anyone who takes this kind of job (however, Nick Saban seems to be doing quite well sustaining the highly successful fortunes of Alabama football). On one hand, I know it's stressful, and feel for him, but this general malaise in our program has literally been happening for eight years. How much longer do we tolerate mediocre performance (largely due to his philosophy of NBA/players first as opposed to a more laser-like focus on championships and winning games)?

Interesting new handle there, Ed Bass. Talk about coincidence to a couple of others we know and "love" so well....

Not to argue or make anyone mad but as that season wore on our team became more offensively challenged. Cal abandoned the platoon and coached tighter than a bulls *** in fly season. Our offense was putrid from January on. It’s Cal’s crummy coaching. No good structure and players feel his tightness. That’s the point I was trying to make.

Go back and look at the scores...they had little fall off in scoring production...they had some low scoring games after Jan. They also had low scoring games before Jan. The fall off isn't nearly what you made it to be. Through the end of December, they averaged 75 points ppg. From Jan through tourney, they averaged 68 ppg. A difference of 7 points which isn't a lot especially considering the quality of opponents towards the end of the season is going to improve especially when you include the tournament. Our offense was far from putrid.
