If Arkansas fans are OK with NEVER developing players and starting over EVERY season, then there won’t be any problem. Because the way Cal is doing it means that he is ADMITTING that he has no desire to bring in kids that need time to become adequate contributors.
This one thing is probably the least thing you need to worry about.
He was a better coach 2010-2016, then he got complacent and stopped worrying about winning titles (SEC or NCAA). He was more worried about placing guys in the NBA and bragging about it. Think about how many players, that are currently in the NBA, that came through Kentucky, 7 NBA all-stars and only 1 NCAA title (2012), no SEC titles in the past 5-6 years? Not getting past the first weekend in the NCAA tournament in the past 5 years? Musselman did a better job during that period.
Junk here. This roster of ours is loaded. Will get DJ this weekend and Pryor soon after if not Hawkins.
You think you're going to enjoy this ride. But a bunch of people here that have lived it are telling you folks you're not. It's going to be a terribly frustrating era for you. I know Arkansas fans know basketball. I know they are passionate about good Arkansas basketball. We're telling you, you aren't going to get that with Cal. He doesn't care if you win or not. Not one bit. Arkansas winning will never be one of his priorities. I honestly feel bad for Arkansas fans. You're good basketball people. You deserve better.
or he just like having an excuse to fall back on.Whats he getting at Arkansas that he couldn't here. Cal has always had better talent than 80% D1. Idk its interesting to see play out.
Little Elton John not gonna sweat like dat....
What you aren't getting is that Cal never really changes. Despite what he says. His mind never changes. He is incapable of voluntarily making an substantial changes. So yeah what they have been telling you is relevant.
You will have a loaded roster every year he is there. That won't be a problem. I don't think you will enjoy the ride. The first head scratching loss won't be an anomaly.
Players improve by going up against better competition in practice. There is no benefit to scrimmaging against washed up Euro guys.
Brad will really help develop players for Arkansas by scrimmaging against them in practice
BOOM! Perfect post. Cal is so full of shit, it’s absurd!
Wagner is on the way baby!
Calipari mulls limiting Ark. roster to '8 or 9 guys'
As he prepares for his first season at Arkansas, John Calipari said he won't stack his rosters with an abundance of talent, which was his tactic during his lengthy tenure at Kentucky.www.espn.com.au
The playing time promises are adding up quick I guess.
I see the honeymoon phase is alive and well. Don’t worry we will all get a lot of joy watching this ride.
You know that, Arkansas fans act like he didn’t have stacked rosters here. He sure had more than 8-9 players yet we routinely only have 6-7 ready for a game.
This is what is known as Cal speak. Get used to it. Compare what he says during the year to what actually happens at the end of the year and get back to us. We all know you won’t come back after the inevitable collapse but still. Do it on your own at least.
Maybe a GA can yell Gooooooo and Shoot Brad so that he gets back in playing shape quick.
I know how bad you want to be right and you may end up that way, but just as possible we have a great year.
Funny thing is he should just make a video montage of Cal saying how great and superior UK is.
Arkansas doesn’t have a problem paying 12 guys? Don’t you have like 4 billionaires dying to fund it? That’s easy money.
I have history on my side, you act like we didn’t watch the exact same thing play out the last 5 years of this NIL and transfer era. You realize Cal has exactly 2 elite eights, 1 SEC title, and 1 SECT title the last 9 seasons at Kentucky right? We didn’t have any good rosters then did we?
Yes I understand . Kentucky standards a little different than most to say the least .
I think he weighs those things and would rather get the season over with and his guys in the pros. To have more kids on the roster means he can't make playing time promises.
