Cal here six more years

I felt that way too. Said it on here multiple times but I don't think so anymore. It is way too much money to walk away from unless someone is going to court him and essentially match his salary.
He'd be walking away from $40m...his recruiting has picked up for '24 and beyond. Only way I see him leaving now is a buyout.
He doesn't have a single commit for 2024.
If true, the once proud program will be in the dustbin of history. Several on this board will be just fine with that apparently.
I don't think that is uncommon at all. IIRC the earliest verbal we got in current class happened around June last year...Dillingham.
Most guys commit between July-Dec. Most after Peach Jam. Someone can tell me if I am wrong but I don't think I am. Reed didn't even commit until November.
He’s greedy and could care less about the University of Kentucky.
He’s going to force a buyout so he can get as much $$$ as possible to spend on donuts.

This could only mean that his destruction of the program isn't quite complete and his greed isn't fully satisfied. SAT Carpetbagger.
I honest to god may go on a 5 year hiatus from Kentucky Basketball.
Cal still riding the 2020 team. ''That could have won the national title''. Yeah Cal. The team that got into a fist fight the 2nd to last game of the year was a title team in the making. Sad.
I warned you pumpers there will be little left of UK’s golden standard if Cal is allowed to stay.
But coulda woulda shoulda Ritchie! 20 was a honorary Final Four!
Looks like you bending down so Cal can come in raw.
What else is he supposed to say? He's not going to express any job insecurity he feels on the Dan Patrick show. If Cal leaves before his contract has ended, it will be a decision behind the scenes that is spun as a "Cal decided to move on for a new challenge" decision by UK Athletics through their media partners. If Cal fails to make a deep run next year (and I expect next year's team to be as ineffective as this year's team), a parting of way will be on the table, IMO.
He's just digging in for the buyout/settlement. Mitch will have to pay for his dumbassery. Cal's parting gift to UK... F'em, the drain'em.
We lost at home to a sub .500 UT team the second to last game and had to have a last second tip-in from EJ Montgomery of all people, to beat a mediocre Florida team the last game of the year. Oh, and the team's leader, Ashton Hagans, got suspended from the team for fighting his own teammates. That team's ceiling was the S16.

I’ll join you. Golfing at Barren River State Park is less painful.
Yep. He refused to pass the ball to Richards in that UT game and got into a fight with Maxey in the locker room after the game. Who could forget ''gotta keep something in the shoeboxx''.
Barren County has the best countryside in the world. I am serious.
Who gives a crap about who signed what and when? Cal needs to go!!!
No he is leaving next year. Like he left this year last year. Or he is leaving year after next year. I mean it’s all right here posted by the bassetball super computers on rafters. The best PlayStations in all the land gather here and squeeze out wisdom.
Cal will be here long as he wants. Nobody that matters at KY is trying to force him out.
He also said he was going to pass UCLA in titles. Cal says a lot.

Amen. He has the typical yankee arrogance toward the south and her people turned up to a 10, despite decades of generosity thrown his way. Please leave, Cal. Deo Vindice.
There cannot be a more hillbilly phrase than calling someone a Yankee. Lol...and my boy @BigRedMachineBigBlueNation liking/typing it is priceless. My friend, you a fan of a ball club just North of the Ohio River?

Sorry I don’t remember how to embed it.

It's an accurate statement. Kentucky is in the south and people from the North call us ''hilljacks, rednecks, hillbillies" and other terms. But we say Yankee and its bad? Lol.
Calipari is a used car salesman. Take everything he says with a grain of salt. He knows he can't survive 6 more years at UK without at least a Final Four run. And that ain't happening.
I'm sure he'd LOVE to stay that long and just keep cashing in. But, by the time we get 4-5 years down the road, his contract would be a LOT easier to buy out. And if things continue on their current trajectory, that'll happen. Can't see him allowing a blow to his ego like that.

Suppose that is fair. I am from Kentucky but northern part and have had folks from southern part of state call me a Yankee which I never really understood.
