Brad Calipari at KDF

[Chuckinden]

I hope he does well when he gets in. Just as long as Cal doesn't say "this is Brad's team in a couple years".

So, your tricycle? How do you like it. I admit, as a motorcyclist, that the height of those things worries me. Typically, mcycle riders sit up higher than car riders and it aids in safety in cases of people merging into the rider(blind spot issues). Nothing negates the driver pulling out in front of you and causing the slam impact accident. I ride a BMW r1200( sport/touring) and have about 70,000 miles of mcycling in my past. I admit trike riders are scoff material in my mind but am open to your opinion on how you like what 3 yr old girls ride. Yes, I'm being a passive/aggressive jerk on purpose so please don't be offended.

The R1200 is a sweet ride.

The MP3 sits up high enough.

Only 500cc but pushes 100mph

Bought it off a friend needing money for a family emergency.

Several friends with bikes have tried it, all like it.

It has a great lean because the 2 wheels are close together and have 2 contact spots.

Very heavy but has an automatic stabilizer you can activate so you never have to put your feet down at stops.

I take it to the gym and stuff during the summer, great on gas of course.

I don't see the passive aggressiveness, just the jerk part, but that's fine.

Don't worry about hurting my feelings.
Football, golden gloves boxing and the Gulf War pretty much shaped my self worth.

Cal's own words:

To Brad "you are not going to play". Well he will play some I sleep with his mother.

Brad wants to coach. I have told him he can join in on film work, pregame prep and organization.


All sounds good to me.


My guess on BC at UK:

4 years as a player.

2 years as grad assistant

2 years as Head of Basketball Operations.

6 years as assistant coach.

Get HC job elsewhere the same year dad retires from UK.

Link?

Not that I don't believe you but the context I heard was when he was talking to KAT mother when she congratulated him in his son coming to UK

Great post. Really dont see the need for a post like yours for one of our players.

Lol of all the UK player hating, or as posters like to say "legitimate player evaluation", on this board you get bent out of shape on this one?

At his age I could have made you think I was Doron Lamb in an all-star setting. I hope people don't get remotely excited about his game.

I'm just glad he signed because it looks like Cal will be here for a while.

Trust me, we would have known the difference.

How many kids ever get an opportunity like this one? Pretty special even if he never gets on the floor?

 

[IYAOYAS1]

You can never go wrong with a gym rat and a coaches son, unless you're Tubby and can't draw in 5 star recruits.

Brad Calipari is going to see the floor in certain situations. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves. The kid is pretty good, and we can always use another solid perimeter shooter.

Those situations are called: Up 30 with 2 minutes left.

Don't kid yourself, kid is a nice player but he would be D-3 if his dad weren't John Calipari.

Cool on your bike. Glad you like it and feel safe.

Pretty sure Belmont was Plan B. Not a D3 school...

Belmont or not, he is still John Calipari's son.

He was maybe the 7th or 8th best player on the LCA roster as a Junior. Not a bad group of kids, but not exactly murderer's row either.

Admittedly, he could have improved substantially. It happens. But he looked like a solid D-3 player to me, if his name weren't Calipari.

I ride a BMW K1200LT. It's a big girl but very comfy. I always thought those MP3's looked cool and would be a hoot to ride personally. Nice looking rig!

Brad will be treated, coached and prepared for the NBA like every other player Calipari recruits. If Brad didn't want the spotlight, didn't have NBA aspirations--he would have chosen some other place to play basketball. UK isn't for everybody.

Brad will get his NCAA Championship ring just like the rest of the players! :sunglasses:

My best friend got bumped by a passing truck. He was riding a small/medium sized Honda. I want to say 250 or so. Maybe a little bigger. He rolled down i-75 awhile. Showed up at my door later than afternoon with his specs held together by monofilament. and really nasty scuffs on his leathers. Other than the bruises, that was that.

He was lucky.

Don't ride motorcycles if you can afford something safer. Please.
