Well I don't know if this has been said in this thread (or elsewhere) yet but with all the negative recruiting against Calipari on the "platoon system"...I think that ship is about to make a 180 degree turn in Kentucky's favor going forward.
I'm not suggesting we should bring back the platoon...
How well he defends will dictate how many minutes he will (or will not see). Just look at Derek Willis. If he plays like Jorts (which is who he kind of reminds me of)...he could see a ton of minutes.
I must be missing something but how is it that Tubby has zero Elite 8's, Final Fours and Championship Game Appearances if we won it all his first year in 1998? Is this because he did it with Pitino's recruits? If this is the case then Kevin Ollie doesn't get credit for UConn's last...
So since we have exhausted potential replacements for Cal with all the ridiculous "what if Cal runs to the NBA" threads...maybe we should entertain who replaces Pitino at Loserville...
My vote for Pitino's replacement...........
Clappy Crean!!
Oh how hilarious that would be! [roll]
bthaunert:
I never said I didn't trust what Cal is doing.
SLONER: I'm don't recall saying you didn't trust Cal. I just said that I respectfully disagreed. And I "respectfully" disagreed because I thought (and still do) you were being respectful unlike some others who compare Cal supporters...
Statements like this show just how "blind" the hatred for Cal and his philosophies are. Really? So if we aren't outraged at a coach who produced 4 Final Fours, 1 NC and 1 runner-up in 5 years and is clearly using a recruiting strategy to lure in more top talent then we are willing to accept a...
Unfortunately, too many fans think that their opinion of the HC matters more than the potential recruits opinion of the HC. How many championships have UK fans won for Kentucky? Is there a stat on this? Some of us need to take an ego check and realize that (as another fellow fan pointed out)...
Well maybe you should go root for your hero Pitino. You sound like a closet cardfan to me. This isn't Cal worshipping...it's "seeing the undeniable results" that are born out of his philosophy. No other coach in CBB talks like this and yet can any of them boast 4 Final Fours in 5 years?
I respectfully disagree because who else in CBB is saying it? Answer: Nobody. With the exception of this past spring, who else is recruiting with the success level of Calipari? Answer: Nobody.
I'm not a fan of that statement in itself but its impact on how potential 5-stars view the...
CatPhight, if you are going to tell me that your father has a younger sister named, Jennifer then you are really going to blow my mind! The avatar that you claim is your father looks dead on (and I mean dead on) one of my first cousins.
Frankly, the more trolling I see from the IU fans the more I am against any form of series (neutral or otherwise). Like Xception said...let IU get good consistently and then maybe we'll see. Sure ND may not have been that good for that long either but they never court rushed us either AND they...
