So why shouldnt we build new facilties while ours are lacking behind all of our competitors again? Just because it is not the main problem does not mean it is something that should not be adressed.
Let's get a new coach first....we are certainly behind a lot of programs in that category.
looks like this is the Legion of Doom meeting place. no Tubby to kick around any more, so Cal it is... pathetic.
Mitch Barnhart Pumps Brakes on New Basketball Dorm Construction
John Calipari wants upgrades to the Kentucky basketball facility. It's far down Mitch Barnhart's list of priorities.www.on3.com
Although this “NO” comes too late. At least it’s a start in the right direction.
I’m fairly certain we’re not in lacking behind “all” our competitors.
Look. I’m not happy with Cal either right now. But there’s a buyout and and then a buyin for another quality coach. And right now there’s not a whole lot of good options out there that would be willing to come here.
That’s what I’m saying. I’d like to know just how far behind we are with our dorms vs say a Kansas or a Duke because I seriously don’t know the answer. I’d love to compare.
Ok… well we are lacking behind UofL, Duke, and KU at the minimum. UofL just finished building a new dorm for their players that connects to the practice facilities and just look at the videos Duke and Ku put out of their facilities, they are above ours. I guess because ours might still ahead of and Auburn (?) or someone like that then we are good to go then right?
Look at what UoFL did, it’s a dorm for hundreds of student athletes and students that houses the basketball players as well and is connected to their practice facility. It wouldn’t be just a dorm for 13 players.
Quote from Trae young’s mom talking about UK. “But the housing… They’ve got the worst dorms out of all the schools,” his mother said. That at least has gotta convince right?? I don’t know what else you need other than touring all of them for yourself tbh.
Because unlike any other sport basketball teams need to be around each other and build chemistry on and off the court.
I mean it’s one quote from one lady, don’t like to hear it certainly. I remember when she said that and being surprised, and I hadn’t heard anything else about it since then. It’s surprising because I always thought we had really good housing. It just doesn’t seem like a recruiting dealbreaker and our university has bigger fish to fry. If we desperately need better lodging, how about our former players donate some of that billion dollars in earnings back to the university? Should we not hope that all that money we brag about our guys making pays the program back a little? Just a thought..
I think what people are curious on is what needs to be fixed to the dorms. It’s not like the players are living with leaky ceilings, broken doors and roaches running around. I haven’t really seen anyone say what the main issue is that makes the dorms bad. One quote from a players mom doesn’t really say why they suck. I’m guessing people just view them as outdated, but who knows?
I agree it’s not a huge deal but it’s not like starting groundwork and getting the process going on it halts anything else that we would be doing.
Look at the stands during home UK games. People are rapidly losing interest in UK basketball and it's because of Cal doing things like watering down the home schedule, not playing high profile games, going 9-16, losing to SP, losing to Evansville, missing out on almost every primary recruiting target, losing the all time wins lead and talking down to the fans.
For the third time, can you not read? The words in that post do not say what you seem to think it says.
