Shaka Smart would be a coaching superstar at UK

[calscats8105]

I think with his style, and being a decent recruiter he would kill it here.

Yes, because he has crushed it at a place with even better facilities and more resources. He was going to be fired last year if there would have been a NCAA tourney

 

[yabbadabbadoo_rivals213851]

I’m mixed on Smart. I think the Arkansas coach looks good.

 

[RunninRichie]

1 tourney win in 6 years. Pass.

 

[ManitouDan_anon]

I’d welcome BBQs at wildcat lodge and open cheating over der Shock miester

 

[philstat]

I disagree, I visited Texas last year, my goodness, their facilities and overall campus obliterate UK's! He has everything he needs at his disposal to be successful and it really hasn't taken off the way Texas expected for him.

 

[rick64]

Texas doesn’t really care about basketball. No real pressure there for F4s and NCAAT titles.

 

[BlobUK]

He sucks.

 

[Big Blue Beast]

Rather take a chance on Pope.
If i'm taking anyone from texas area, get Drew.

 

[Burly]

Drew is Coach we want and need will Cal is done sucking us dry in 2032

 

[Doc4UK!]

Agree Drew looks to be the most consistent with Beard runner up

 

[liveblue92]

I saw the score and ran straight over to rafters because I absolutely knew that this would be a thread.

you think Beard would consider it? Feel like it likes where he is.

He’s already at a school with all the built-in advantages ...UT has the richest athletic department in the country, its own TV network, great city, etc. ...yet his stint there has mostly been disappointing. So I’m not sure why you think there’d be a dramatic difference here.

 

[CatsnRoses]

It's taken him a long time to get Texas going... and that's a school with infinite resources and a huge local recruiting pool to tap into. Not very impressed.

Nice avatar. That Vol. 2 is a solid listen.

 

[Schwagg]

Shaka Smart sucks donkey balls

 

[UKxWildcats]

Absolutely not. Just no

That’s kind of disheartening to think that he would have a better chance to recruit at Texas than Kentucky. We are still the most valuable basketball program, I hate to think we take a back seat behind anyone.

Sturgill was the musical highlight of 2020 for me for sure. Both albums were fantastic.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Whenever I watch a team win a game, I instantly want that team’s head coach to be the next UK head coach.

I mean, UK sells itself in terms of BB, though when it comes to amenities, facilities, resources and such very few schools, if any, could compete with Texas.

Gillespie was doing more with less in the Big 12. He somehow also had the reputation as a "decent recruiter."

 

[turkeywildturkey]

What has he done at Texas? Nothing. Better than Cal? Are you nuts?

We didn't get the best what BCG had to offer, his off the court issues derailed him at UK and ultimately his career.

LMAO.hard pass....this is the only year he's been good and hasn't won anything..he was on the verge of getting fired

 

[sam_o]

Lol no. Just no

Nice!

What is his style?

 

[MakinMusic_rivals]

.....Shaka who has performed so well at Texas? Has money and resources to recruit the entire state of Texas, filled with 5 start talent, but hasn’t been successful with those resources, that Shaka?

 

[DelkBowl]

Rumors of his firing from Texas every year gives me confidence.

 

[Wildcats1st]

Rick Barnes would be better

Got out coached today.

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

OP

We’re you just born this morning?

 

[Cawood86_rivals]

No...imo. Not sure how long he's been at Texas but he ain't done much while there. This year looks to be a good one for him, but I don't see anything from him that is all that impressive since being there.

 

[anon_013cn8yrfncx2]

Drew is Coach we want and need will Cal is done sucking us dry in 2032

Where’s the UNLIKE button?

 

[gobigblue812_rivals29381]

Yes, because he has crushed it at a place with even better facilities and more resources. He was going to be fired last year if there would have been a NCAA tourney

Texas BB has better facilities than UK? Texas allows more money to the BB program than UK BB?

 

[MNantz]

He wouldn’t last four years at UK

 

[TNCatfanforever]

I was on the Shaka bandwagon 4-5 years ago but there is a vast difference from mid-major to power 5.

 

[Chris Mallory]

1 tourney win in 6 years. Pass.

Yes but he beat Kansas today
