Milt Wagner Hired At UL!

[OldSmoky]

so everybody here says dj wagner is now committed to play for u6. because his grandfather is in a fake job title at u6. wow. i hope the kid knows he has no choice but to play there. everyones getting all riled up over something that hasnt happened. just assuming it will. doesnt take much for people to jump off a bridge.

Calipari should give Kareem Watkins a scholarship.

 

[bigsmoothie]

Some never question the system. You salute your boss when they give you mandatory overtime? Were you first in line for your 8th COVID booster? I bet you’ve tried vegan

It’s time to be for the program, its tradition and what it means for a boy growing up in Hazard or a little girl in Paducah. Cal doesn’t give a crap about the bluegrass’ children or the program he works at. Wake up Ed

So now he hates kids?

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

So now he hates kids?

He hates all Kentuckians who support UK. He’s a troll

[bigsmoothie]

He hates all Kentuckians who support UK. He’s a troll

What a sad thing to say.

 

[CrustyCat]

Always the name calling

 

[LowCountryCat]

Sure am. I’ll support him until he’s not the coach then I will support the new coach. By the way. He’s not getting fired.

This is word for word kybassfan's standard, default talking point. The only thing you left out was $52 million.

Any fan with ordinary intelligence would be embarrassed to be associated with that ignoramus. Not you, though, I guess.

 

[LowCountryCat]

What a sad thing to say.

"You people are crazy" and "Basketball bennies"

Cal said both of those things on camera. Imagine what he says behind closed doors.

 

[LowCountryCat]

Calipari should give Kareem Watkins a scholarship.

Right? What a dick move - "You have to pay to go to school here but no I'm going to leave 3 schollies open"

 

[bigsmoothie]

"You people are crazy" and "Basketball bennies"

Cal said both of those things on camera. Imagine what he says behind closed doors.

So those are bad things?

 

[bnewt]

Lol. Cal is so done.

now if he would just pack up & leave

 

[HagginHall1999]

He hates all Kentuckians who support UK. He’s a troll

Nonsense man. You haven't a clue what you are talking about.

Hate on Cal all you want regarding coaching, choking, win/loss, one and done, none and done, anything related to basketball.

Your comment above is just false.

 

[bnewt]

What is this.. gonna be the 5th or 6th time we lost a recruit due to the blatant obvious family-hiring?

This sport really is more corrupt than any out there. I know there isn't much you can do to combat this.. but damn, it's so obvious what UofL is doing.

ccc could have done the same thing & hired him or his dad, but he either too stupid or too arrogant

 

[bnewt]

I think a LOT of UK fans failed to realize just how much WWW was helping Cal dominate recruiting in the first half of his UK tenure.

if true, then he needs to crawl back to WWW or pack his crap & leave

 

[bigsmoothie]

Nonsense man. You haven't a clue what you are talking about.

Wonder if the people in western Kentucky appreciate him and his efforts?

 

[bigsmoothie]

ccc could have done the same thing & hired him or his dad, but he either too stupid or too arrogant

If he had there would have been a thread saying oh look Cal has to hire a family member to get a recruit. 100%

 

[J-Ryan]

This is unbelievable…

 

[HagginHall1999]

Wonder if the people in western Kentucky appreciate him and his efforts?

Tearing a man down personally is about as low as it gets. It's just pathetic.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Of course Cal remains confident he remained confident when he knew damn well Sharpe wouldn’t be back for another season too. Cal is getting senile it’s time to retire to the home out in the woods go fishing year round and let UK get someone in there that can be HUNGRY again!

 

[mcwildcats04]

Screw Kenny Payne. There, I said it.

 

[fitches4]

Anybody else remember when Kentucky Basketball (and the off-season) was positive and fun?

Your handle was made up when you started this same **** with Tubby. You're a professional ******. If you and Low Country had a head on collision and God forbid, left us, 85 percent of rafters would vanish into thin air.

 

[bnewt]

So does U6 eat first now?

don't know about 1st, but they will sure eat before UK

 

[bnewt]

Wright is a Villanova lifer no problem with that Kentucky would need to focus on other options

don't think Wright wanted to be involved in the NIL crap

 

[bnewt]

So let’s say in a month he commits to UK. How would you spin that?

and you think that will happen?

 

[bigsmoothie]

and you think that will happen?

No clue. But to act like he’s going to Louisville 100% is ridiculous

 

[willyclyde]

No clue. But to act like he’s going to Louisville 100% is ridiculous

Why?

 

[bnewt]

Calipari should give Kareem Watkins a scholarship.

and try to get Bradshaw to commit
maybe both of those could help offset grandpa's hiring

 

[UK90]

if true, then he needs to crawl back to WWW or pack his crap & leave

There is no WWW to crawl back to.

Ole Wes quit the recruiting racket after parlaying it into a legit job. He’s now a Knicks front office executive.

 

[RipThru]

Not hard to do, Cal's just sitting on his fat *** counting his money like Scrooge McDuck.

@CatPhight we 100% need a photo shop of Scrooge McDuck/Cal.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

ccc could have done the same thing & hired him or his dad, but he either too stupid or too arrogant

I don't think that's his call, though. I think he could certainly push for it, but it's ultimately going to be Mitch's call and the university.

 

[Brianscards20]

The NCAA added a rule to prevent hiring family members solely to land a recruit. Louisville got real dang creative with that job title to get around the rule.

This isn't a new position created just for Milt. Reece Gaines previously held this title at UofL. Milt reports to the university and not to Kenny Payne so there's really no conflict in the eyes of the NCAA. But the NCAA is a joke anyways so who knows...

Definitely not a basketball team job

 

[ck-2]

Cal doesn’t use all of his available scholarships because he can’t manage the roster. He can’t develop or find playing time for a full team. He’d rather have his 2-3 top recruits and then some role players.
He couldn’t even find minutes for Toppin. And admitted it.

 

[J-Ryan]

Definitely not a basketball team job

Unreal…

 

[buck8113]

maybe the NCAA finally lowers the boom on UL (I hope) or Cal goes and hires his MOTHER that will top all that crap

 

[cats#1again]

Think he still comes

 

[Inlumine]

I’m trying to share your optimism but it seems we have seen this same story play out where we can see the writing on the wall but we are told to stay patient, and it never works out in our favor.

 

[ColonelCat_rivals376764]

This, this, and more this. When Wes was still around, it was cool for Cal to play the game. But since that relationship ended, he's too good (lazy) to play dirty? Seriously.

I liked the edgy and BMF Cal. Now he's a fat version of Tubby. I don't get it. Watch the GD 30 for 30. Where did THAT GUY go?!?!

Well Duke has done it for years, see Zion [house] and the PG name escapes me from Louisiana whose Mom got an job. Many other schools do this and get away with it. The exception would be UK, and we would pay for it largely.

 

[TFCat11]

I’ve been saying for months that Cal wasn’t getting Wagner, now it’s all but a forgone conclusion.

If something doesn’t materialize for Cal to the NBA this off-season, then next season is his last at UK. Deuces
