    Why does "hiring one of our own" usually not work out ? Payne(Louisville) Howard(Michigan) Ewing(Georgetown) Woodson(Indiana) etc

    It’s a high risk high reward situation at times. If it works out it’s great for your program legacy, great for the fans, and you won’t have to worry about them ever leaving. If they turn out great you have a Roy Williams situation. At the same time, you also run the risk of blindly hiring...

    Why does "hiring one of our own" usually not work out ? Payne(Louisville) Howard(Michigan) Ewing(Georgetown) Woodson(Indiana) etc

    I don’t think you can look at it that way and find a common theme. Payne is not head coach material, Ewing had zero experience, Howard has even a roller coaster etc. I don’t think it has anything to do with being Alma maters they just are what they are. It’s hard finding a great coach, and just...

    What in the world has happened to Arkansas!?

    Players are different today and coaches like Muss are going to have a difficult time finding the right mentalities they want. When Cal has issues with some of his rosters in this regard, you can bet others will find themselves in this position regularly. Mussleman isn’t going anywhere however...

    TEXAS A&M and REED ARENA

    Oh I get you. At first I was thinking how could someone laugh at my post, seems to at least have a grounded validity to it. I guess you’re saying you’re tired of hearing about the lineup issue with Reed and Edwards. I get that, we’re talking a lot about it. I’m just really into the program.

    TEXAS A&M and REED ARENA

    To me the lineups are wrong. We really can’t have it both ways, you either play your best the entire game or your productivity will fall. The lineup has to change or it’ll come back and bite us imo. Edwards needs to be removed from the starting rotation. In all my years of studying Kentucky and...

    Truthfully, I rarely pay attention to the announcers. When Field of 68 is on, I hate listening to guys like Hansbrough but during games I’m too busy to listen.

    J. Edwards

    Edwards is starting for recruiting purposes. I definitely see no other way around that. Everything else just doesn’t make sense. Cal never stops recruiting that includes during games. For this team to be the best version of itself Edwards needs around 10-12 minutes per game. Sheppard, Wagner...

    J. Edwards

    If I said Edwards is getting more minutes than Sheppard that is false. I didn’t intentionally say that. *edit - I looked and didn’t see a claim that Edwards gets more minutes than Sheppard. I don’t believe I wrote that. And Edwards is averaging 24 minutes per game last check. If it’s close to...

    There is evidence that might suggest Calipari does guarantee starting spots, however, I think what happens is it’s a wink and a nod, followed by Calipari dressing up the conversation. “Gotta earn it” type of deal, but Cal is always recruiting. And in ways recruiting is as important to Calipari...

    What SEC contender has the schedule advantage?

    You might want to listen to the coaches and players discuss UK. Your coach has said many times that Kentucky is a game he circles and looks foward to. Golden said last week that the UK game is a big deal to the players and fans, and nearly every single game we play on the road sells out and has...

    For you betters, #2 Houston only a 2.5 favorite @ unranked Iowa State

    To me that’s easy money. Unless someone is out that I’m unaware of, Houston will win by more than that. Fandom aside, this Houston team has the best odds at the title from what I’ve seen ( watched them 4 times). I took Houston on a 100 dollar wager months ago (I usually bet 100 bucks at the...

    If Kentucky was to win the Championship

    I can for sure understand the logic but think it’s a bit faulty, at least to the degree many believe. Were players as talented then as today? No. But that was the system for everyone obviously. To me it’s not really a big enough distinction when all is said and done. Rupp would more than likely...

    If Kentucky was to win the Championship

    I think the difficulty of the modern tournament is a bit overplayed when talking about the former system. Early years it was really hard just to have a chance at one. Today it’s harder to complete the tournament but much easier to get there. As I said, UConn has had no problems winning the...

    I know last season is over with but…….

    Aside from the actual issues themselves, that team just didn’t mesh personality wise. Very different beliefs, different motives, and different types of guys.
