And that was sarcasm…everyone knew he was gone when he arrived. Wtf lol
Pffttt. My Uber driver told me that last month. He hears all the news
This board is never happy after a loss that's hard to stomach. Posters beware.
UK can’t afford to keep Cal for next season. The fan base is done. Losses and excuses keep piling up. Apathy everywhere. Mitch and Eli better wake up and negotiate a buyout when we lose next week. This can’t go on.
It makes sense. Not sure if the OP has insider info or not. That’s a logical guess, if he doesn’t.
He is going to ride that “Super Class” next season as far as it will take him and then walk away.
I am good with that. Hope he walks away with another title.

I’m a diehard fan of UK and I can’t stand Cal or anything he says?
I’ll believe it when I see a press conference or some kind of news release with a direct quote from CCC.
Go ahead and daisy chain the "Ifs" from this game and all the other "should have wons" since 2019. Dedicate a wall in your house to it and run yarn to all the connections. Maybe then, sitting back and looking at your good work, you can convince yourself that Calipari is a tragic figure in some sort of cosmic play where the basketball gods torture him and fate mocks his efforts.
This would actually make sense . Cal has told Eli and Mitch ( he’s spent some time around Eli this yr) that he wants to see next yrs class thru and he’s out . Being active in the portal is a clue he’s back next yr , probably . If he leaves, the class leaves …so just bring the players in and let’s see what happens . The alternative is a patchwork roster and new coach . If you get the new coach anyway a yr from now , it’s the better alternative having the top players here. You can’t have the new coach plus the #1 class that cal has
How far inside the university?
It wasn’t so bad when I was an undergrad because people were smarter and humbler way back then.
But by the time I was in grad school in the teens everybody and his brother and their professors and their TAs thought they had psychic insight into the heart of the program just because they had that UK ID and half of those idiots had never been to a basketball game. All of em would have become a hundred times better informed just by reading this board for two days.
So which was it: did you talk to Capilouto or did you only talk to Mitch?

The honest answer for me is no. I want to see us play some march games. I want our fanbase to be part of cbb. I hope cal makes a run. But a first round win is only good to keep the bleeding going.
If I knew for sure another first round loss would rid us Caliprairie (sorry I love that nick name lol) then I would have to hope for it
But I still can’t actively cheer against our guys
@LmdCat is a puss plain and simple. Libitard who if you dare post something he don't agree with he uses the coward block button. Because
They will. Cal is gone IMO
I’d take that trade in a heartbeat.
I’m sure these 5 stars next year won’t be able to hit shots or play defense either. We’ve become Memphis.
I’m with you. Wish Calipari (for his sake and ours) could go out with a team that only lost 5-6 games during the regular season and was one of 5 or 6 teams that had a realistic chance to win the title.
But to do that I think UK would at a minimum need Reeves, Livingston or Toppin and Tshiebwe back – or as good or better upperclassmen from the portal. Round that out with Thiero, Collins, Ware and Ugonna and the team might be what I’m talking about – although even then I would be worried about not having enough 3 pt. shooting.
Id not be mad if he left and took next years class with him.. We know they won't do **** next year with his great coaching..
Not necessarily true that the class leaves if Cal leaves.
If you get the quality of coach you want, that fits with what the UK program demands, you get em regardless of whether the class is bolting.
If you can afford the buyout, that is. Which we can't.
I don't see how Barnhart survives this, tbh. Doesn't matter what good he's done. That lifetime BS was a nuke for the basketball program.
He will not win championship with bunch of freshman wake up people
I just have to say I love your use of "departuring".
I agree, but he is not winning with upperclassmen either, so it’s a moot point.
Cal’s teams with talented Freshmen leading the way:
2010- Elite Eight
2011- Final Four
2012- Championship
2013- NIT
2014- Runner-up
2015- Final Four
2016- 2nd round
2017- Elite Eight
2018- Sweet Sixteen
2019- Elite Eight
His last three teams with transfers/multi year players leading the way:
2021- 9 wins.
2022- First round loss.
2023- ? (doesn’t look promising).
I’ll take deep runs with talented Freshmen over 1st round losses or not making the tourney with mediocre upperclassmen.

Next years class is freakish talented.
Cal will underachieve with these dudes unless someone else steps in and takes the rains for development, game prep and game time adjustments.
More less let Cal appear to be at lead but someone in the background actually making the hard needed improvements.
Cal please bounce….

With all due respect
If the incoming class were freakishly talented they may be able to overcome Calipari’s lack of coaching ability
As it is, while they ARE talented, none are the generational type that can negate the coaching (ala 2012)
Sadly I think you’re right
And I NEVER thought I’d say there would even be a possibility of doing so
