“I think it’ll all be fine.”
huge vote of confidence

Hagans tweeted he was back; Cal has stated he believes he will be back; and other players have said they expect him to be back. So, my sources say..... he will be back.
Yikes, if your statement includes "I think it'll all be fine", "I haven't talked to him yet", and "maybe did some individuals with the team" you're not ready to comment on that situation.
I have zero concern about this. Haven't since I saw the Hagans video watching the game.
To be transparent though, you have zero concerns about anything, ever.
Lol, Cal and the I haven't seen him, talked to him, known him, met him...becoming an annual tradition.
Cal: "Hagans is somewhere around here."
It was a suspension. Period. If he has served the terms of what Cal had placed, I am sure he will be back Friday. Saturday's game was a throw away, and Cal knew it. He used that to his favor, and appropriately disciplined Hagans.
Ah, yes. Let the negativity flow.
Man I have WAY TOO MANY. I got concerns about our depth , refs , an injury screwing our season and so on. What I don't got is time to blow every little single thing out of proportion like many posters do ( like many did with Hagans holding his friends car money a few weeks ago and a UL fan showing it again ) . But yes let's confuse that with NO concerns. LOL
Am I suffering from DeJa Vu or did virtually this same thread with an almost identical Cal comment go through about ten pages yesterday?
In any case, the point is the same: "Much Ado About Nothing."

Yep . Can't mention Hagans' name without the usual suspects. I mean you don't even have to look at what poster is saying what as you could throw out a line typed on this board and dollars to donuts if it is idiotic and negative it is coming from Ulisnot , Zayotven , or another one of the LOD chief of staffs .
So you know this for a fact ? I agree it PROBABLY was a suspension but it is not smart to talk in absolutes about things you don't know absolutely . Trust me I learned that lesson years ago on here.
He back! Let the games begin!
I'm really looking forward to the post season. It should be a good one!

Didn’t you proclaim Whitney the next great thing? All American candidate?
Seems pretty obvious to me people. I’m not sure why everyone don’t see it? Hagans was suspended for his antics. One game. Wasn’t allowed to travel with the team. Cal doesn’t go public with it; he goes public with “Hagans needed some personal time.” This is why Cal is being vague and such. I’ve done the same with managers I employ. Not giving a day suspension, but not giving details of punishment. It’s really obvious to me; not you guys?
It's because that after the comeback win, on Saturday, they have nothing else to be negative about. What miserable lives they must lead, with glasses always half empty. I like the team we have, and we have no injuries. I'm good to go forward, and see what happens.
You left out I think,maybe someone saw him he was walking up over the hill with Abraham,Martin and John.
Seems like it might be a thing of the past. Looks good to me. We still need a refocused Hagans for the tournament though. Maybe this is his next step forward.
Agreed. he aint talking to us anyway. He hardly ever is. He's talking to Hagans thru a public presser, assuring the kid he's with him if Hagans wants to get on board.
Cal's metagame is top notch. No doubt
Glad the players didn't think it was a throw away game.
I would argue “needing personal time” would be much worse than a “suspension” at this point in the season. So not sure why cal would go with that if it weren’t true. But then again Rupp rafters has lots of sources and is always right so I guess it was a suspension.
It's Cal doing his thing to protect the kid.
There was always a plan. He's sticking to it. They'll practice today if I'm not mistaken.

On Friday UK will have a masked player from parts unknown.He will have a double double by the under 4 timeout(still masked)When the teams retake the floor he will rip off his mask,everyone is expecting to see Hagans but no........it is.........Dontaie Allen!!
LMFAO, the irony with this post is thicker than the thickest London fog ever.
Have you ever read any of your posts?
Remember, it is not polite to post in absolutes when you have no idea how things are going to turn out. [laughing]

Because telling everyone he was suspended, makes the player look so much worse. You can't built a players brand very well after you tell everyone he was suspended.
absolute lottery pick, baby!
Oh I think we can safely say that this whole Hagans/Cal/video/personal time away/suspension has been an absolute cluster#(@&.
I have a question for those in this thread who are stressed out about Hagans or who won't just accept Calipari's comments at face value...
What do YOU think is happening? And why haven't we heard "he's back and ready to go"?
Here's my thought. Calipari respects his players' privacy and intends to keep the confidence of those players, so he's not giving any specifics here, and he won't. If Hagans wasn't returning to the team, we would know it. Calipari would have no reason to not tell us this.
But if you read the clues we've been given, everything will be fine. He has said we need Hagans for the postseason. He has said he doesn't know whether or not he will start. He hasn't even implied this was a disciplinary issue, even if we think it was. We've also seen Hagans' reactions to the Florida game. This doesn't look like the reaction of a kid who isn't playing anymore this season.
Now, for those dying to stir the pot, go ahead. You may have another 48 hours to bait and flame on this topic.

I have concerns, but the one's I can't control can only control me if I allow them to.
It's easy to find ourselves thinking other's don't care when they really do.
Perception .
Yea, or, you know, he was just telling the truth. Personal reasons make him look like a weak head case, so that isn’t exactly the best brand builder either.
At the end of the day you are probably correct that Hagans will be back with the team come Friday.Do you buy Cal's statements hook,line and sinker? The timing of everything that has occurred tells me a different story.Yes Cal will do everything he can to protect his players(including dancing around the truth) when speaking publicly about team/individual issues.
As fans we are left to read and write our own mystery short story.Like all authors some are better at it than others but the subject matter intrigues us all.
