    For The Guys That Leave For Arkansas

    I want to add, Calipari is obviously really upset that he was ran out of Kentucky for underperformance. The PR campaign coming out of Arkansas is understandable but people really shouldn’t buy in. Arkansas didn’t just suddenly realize they have some big money boosters because Calipari walked...

    For The Guys That Leave For Arkansas

    You do realize that Lexington is part of the triangle containing Cincinnati and Louisville right? Louisville is an hour away and Cincinnati is a tad more than that. Fayetteville is next to Morrow, Arkansas lol. Lexington is also positioned and in close proximity to the Appalachia mountains and...

    I am predicting……….

    Man I’m sorry, but the fact that you’re still doing this is gross. Calipari is just terrible and he was absolutely killing this program. Pope is taking it back and doing things the right way. Just imagine being one of the only people that can’t handle Calipari’s salesman ability. I feel sorry...

    For The Guys That Leave For Arkansas

    I lived right outside of Fayetteville. Very strange but decent people. Basketball definitely takes a backseat to football, but not to the extent of schools like Florida or Georgia / Alabama. It’s around Tennessee’s level of interests in basketball. Maybe in the 90’s it was more. Not today...

    It’s still fun playing with it when they do this though. Here comes Tennessee - Woops Here comes Arkansas - Woops Here comes Florida - Woops Here comes Georgia - we’ll almost all.

    Per Matt Sak the list of known prospects

    Oh no. I just don’t want it. I’d rather have Orlando if that’s the route we’re taking. Payne doesn’t even really recruit. But I trust Pope knows what he’s doing. I’m just sick of linking these programs together and I thought it was finally over. I also think Payne is just overrated all the way...

    Per Matt Sak the list of known prospects

    It’s so nice knowing we’ve got a coach who wants players who can win vs. notches in the NBA Belt at the expense of winning. I’m still just not used to it. Poor Arkansas.

    SEC referee dilemma

    Definitely Calipari. They hate him way more than they hate Uk. He’s the most despised coach in SEC history by far. What they got sick of the most was his constant bitching about foul calls while he spends the entire game trying to intentionally draw them. While he doesn’t teach flopping, he does...

    I understand your concern but what he’s selling in the open is no different than what we’ve always done outside of Calipari and what Duke / UNC do today. It’s obvious to all of the players if you want to go you go. Our issue is Calipari totally dropped the ball with our image as a college...

    For The Guys That Leave For Arkansas

    Oh look, yet another SEC program that thinks they’re going to overtake Kentucky. Signed, Them all at one point or another. This is your second time believing this IIRC? Arkansas is not a national brand and Nike would never allow their big time recruits to all head that way. You’re not getting...

    Jeremy Roach in the portal

    I have thought from the beginning, and have said so many times, that one of the reasons Calipari was so devastated being sent to Arkansas was because his most prized part of coaching, recruiting, is about to take a massive hit. Programs matter especially to Nike, and there’s no way Nike is going...

    For The Guys That Leave For Arkansas

    Grew up very close to Arkansas. Even the people that live there want out. I lived for nearly a year just outside Fayetteville too. While it’s a nice campus there’s nothing to do, I was bored out of my mind. Calipari is going to absolutely hate it but he didn’t want to be there anyway. 3 years...

    All you Cal haters who thought we could fire him and just take our pick

    Unfortunately, Calipari has sold a few and once that happens they rarely wake up. If you cannot see the damage Calipari was doing to this program I don’t know what to tell you. If you cannot see that the guy simply cannot coach and can’t anymore get the elite talent he once did I don’t know what...

    ARK article calling UK desperate.-A must read, great laugh.

    Arkansas just lost a coach who is worlds better than Calipari. Unless he lands elite talent (he won’t because they have been rejecting him) he cannot even replicate what Arkansas had in Muss. And because muss was doing good things there that is the bar Calipari must reach so I don’t see this...

    ARK article calling UK desperate.-A must read, great laugh.

    By the way, anyone ever notice this conference never learns? Arkansas in the 90’s was totally suffocated out by UK, Florida in the 2,000’s same thing. Tennessee’s little run under Pearl totally collapsed. This goes back to the 60’s. They just never learn that UK cannot die and I would think at...
