In all honesty, I think it is more about Cal than Bradshaw. Negativity overcomes objectivity when people are unhappy. Personally, I haven't watched Bradshaw so I have no opinion. I am just waiting to see for myself. It should be an interesting season next year.

We should get him to join this board. He would fit right in being opinionated, bashing those who disagree, and turning every discussion into something either political or bring religion into it. (Just joking for those who didn't get it)
On a more serious note, sensationalism has always brought in the big bucks. Certainly dispensationalism is a part of that but I think it has greatly expanded in recent years. I have a family member who is caught up in a lot of it. I have grave concerns.
And, to bring this back to a basketball discussion, I think the basic criticism on this board toward Cal is that he is more sensational than substance. Substance will stand the test of time. Sensationalism will fade away.
You’re no different than those people. Both sides of that debate are crazy. Opposite feelings but same reactions.
Perhaps he doesn’t want to “lose” to Louisville/Payne in a high profile recruiting battle. Sounds like he is already a likely Cardinal.
Are you serious? Hell you are in the top 5 of Cal worshippers. Your hands had to have been shaking horribly as u typed that lie.
My criticism has more to do with how Cal is going to use him than Bradshaw himself. Bradshaw could be the perfect modern day 5, he could be like Bediako for Bama this season just with range out to 15 feet.
Cal is going to play him at the 4 with another big, make him take 18 footers, bench him too often for missing rebounds, and drag him away from the basket on defense since a 5 will be guarding the paint more than him.
You got an unhealthy love for this website. You get banned constantly and still won’t leave
It's funny you mention cyanide capsules, because I literally pictured Cal hunkered down in a bunker in Berlin with the rest of the college basketball world closing in on him from every side and he just refuses to surrender after I read the OP's commentary.
I've been on a WW2 documentary kick lately.
Don't know. You should ask some of your other puppet accounts and see if they know.
This is the only account I post under as the good lord is my witness.
I've found that it's almost ALWAYS the people that accuse others of doing stuff that are the one's doing it themselves...... Enjoy your year.
Just stop believing UKBB will ever be relevant again until Calipari is gone. This kid rejected Cal and UK once and Cal's ego couldn't survive another rejection ... he's just too fragile and fraudulent to let that happen. Narcissism rears its ugly head once again.
Head to head, Cal has totally dominated Pitino. Not to mention the fact that Pitino is persona non grata now in the state of Kentucky because he is a liar and an adulterer who flashed the finger to our fans. I don't like what Cal has done to our basketball program, but it still miffs a lot of people including me when the subject of Pitino comes up.
We need some beef down low with some talent is my concern. Oscar would be the perfect compliment to Bradshaw. Fingers crossed.
Name another account I'm posting under. You can't as there isn't one. Game over.
I'm here to talk basketball and I get along with more than enough here that I don't need to converse with the tiny fraction of people here that are trying to agitate. They are a huge minority so it's not worth the time. I'll take multiple moderators advice that said to use ignore. Good luck and enjoy the remainder of your life.

I hope you do good on this account. I didn’t say you had multiple accounts currently. You know you’ve been banned on here before, keep trying to play innocent and trying to blame others for your issues.

Wrong again.
I have my own opinions and I only speak for me.
The Cal hate cult speaks in “we” and “us”.
But they can never say who they are speaking for.
But they seem to believe a majority is how many fit in their basement.
I ain’t going back and reading that conversation from April. You should have responded back then
With the HUGE advantage of coaching at UK, yeah he dominated, going 8-2 against Pitino. But, while at UK, RP was 4-1 against Calipari. Same win percentage, he just wasn’t here as long as Calipari & didn’t play against Calipari coached teams as often. When neither is coaching UK they are 4-4 all-time. As I said in another thread, the only fair way to judge, IMO, is to compare their results as coach at UK.
As a prelude I’ll say that I wanted Calipari in 2009. He was my top choice & he did an amazing job in his first 6 seasons. But, he coached here in a far less competitive era than Pitino & has had 3 disastrous seasons, while causing more apathy in the fanbase than every other UK coach in my lifetime, combined.
It was the polar opposite with Pitino. He brought the excitement back & took us from a no talent team on probation to national title contenders within 3 seasons. Hell, he won the SEC regular season championship in his 2nd year, while still on probation.
Pitino’s teams were dominant in a much stronger era & we were a 1 seed 4/6 years that we were eligible for the NCAAT. We were a 2 & a 3 seed the other 2 seasons. We were always peaking in March & in the championship discussion, if not the favorites, every year we were eligible, aside from 92, which was a masterful job just getting us to a 2 seed & region final. And, also in 94, when we were a 3 seed & we lost Rodney Dent 11 games into the season, which threw a major monkey wrench into the situation.
And again, Pitino went 14-14 with a bottom feeder OVC level roster & Calipari went 9-16 with 3 NBA players & Terrence Clark, who would’ve been a 4th, in the weakest era of CBB in my lifetime. He’s missed the NCAAT, completely, twice & has a humiliating 1st round loss & a 2nd round clunker on his resume, here, too.
RP took us to at least the E8 in every season that we were eligible except for the 2nd round loss in 94. After going 14-14 in year 1, he never lost more than 7 games in any other season, here, & he averaged 31 wins per season in our NCAAT eligible years from 92-97, including going 97-12 in his last 3 seasons. He left us as the clear #1 program in the greatest era in CBB history.
Calipari is no saint either, having wins & FFs vacated at every stop aside from UK. So far, anyway. I’m not saying Calipari has always been a bad coach. He’s in the HOF for a reason. But, that’s not the coach he’s been for the last 8 seasons & as good as he was in his prime, he’s never approached RP’s level as a HC, all things considered. He was thought of as discount Rick Pitino when he was at UMASS & that hasn’t changed, IMO.

Well thought out post
Hard to disagree with anything
Good post buddy
Well you’re always welcome, we’re always hiring here at the CalCan’tCoach Corp.
Cal's going all in on the guys returning, with the objective that if it doesn't happen he's going all in with what he does have, and then will give a middle finger to the fanbase at the end of next season when he talks about how he had the GrEaTeSt ReCrUiTiNg cLaSs EvEr and rides off into the sunset. That "I still have six years" comment was nothing more than a "you won't fire me" jab.
Cal beat our ‘96 team with 1 player and 4 ball boys.
Then he gave us our toughest game in the FF.
In ‘95 Cal almost beat us in the sweet 16 game. Again with 1 player and 4 ball boys. Only thing saved us was an out of the coaching box technical on Cal.
Of course back then Pitino was still telling the lie that he paid UMass to hire Cal.

You have no clue what you are talking about. Nothing you say will make Cal look like or become a better coach.
The dude weaseled his way to a life time contract 3 million more than the next guy. That’s not stupidity. He also leveraged the ucla job to do it. Cal is an intelligent guy his basketball iq though is poor. He cannot adjust in game. His offense and defense are the same as day 1 but with inferior players. He can’t draw up an inbounds play to save him life. But cal is a shrewd politician and has excelled at bamboozeling the elite powers to be at UK. A stupid person wouldn’t do that.
I agree completely but he's still stupid,incompetent and a moron when it comes to running the program...and he's running it straight in the ground.
I'd love for him to prove me wrong and get his head out of his ass and be the Cal he once was but until he does,he's running the program like an incompetent ass.
