I think he's been on the take for a while now getting paid to lose as well replay the games he doesn't even look mad or surprised at the end.That might explain some of these tournament losses.
Not worth all the hell he was going to continue to get and increasing. How much money does he need.?He left 33 million on table that UK owed him
Well he showed his hands every one of those thousands of times by following up with a brag about getting more players into the NBA than anyone else. He takes credit for it but we all figured it out - these kids would have gone pro regardless of school or coach.But I thought he was the “Players First!” coach.
At least that’s what he told us about a thousand times.
Look, we're going to learn a LOT over the next few days .... the guy was a POS.
I have a friend who is on the board at the country club in Memphis where Cal was a member .... he stiffed them on a massive bill and over $50k in gambling debts when he bounced to UK. That's just a tiny example of who he is behind the scenes.
You mean the "tweaks" that Cal was going to implement 5 years ago?Now we will never see those "tweaks" he was going to implement next year.
I hope that screws him over a little bit honestly. Pressure Mitch to hire Oats, make him get a Hurley.Pilgrim reported that the current players didn’t even know and were blindsided and assistants contacted a recruit last night. But everyone was blindsided by this and they still haven’t heard from the coaching staff.
Said one recruits parent said they like Nate or Scott
How can players follow this man to Arkansas? Players first right?
They didn’t sue him?Look, we're going to learn a LOT over the next few days .... the guy was a POS.

They all have LOI and everyone will be released if they ask for it. Perry probably be one of the only ones who realistically stays.Good grief. Perry has signed an LOI. Mitch would have to release him. He is not going anywhere. Some of you all worry about the damndest things.
That’s not fairShouldn’t be any surprises. Clear that Cal only cares about Cal. Even his charity work was to push and promote his name. You don’t do charity work and later use it as a mechanism to highlight how great you are.
I absolutely believe we lost both tourney games because he was out looking to leave.Trust me, that’s the least of what he did but he owed at several spots it’s true. What he did to the offices at Memphis was worse, emptied them out out of spite and some other things that were dirty. For no reason too people were shocked. Which I liked at the time, watching them cry was beautiful.
I’ve tried for years to explain some of it and when it wasn’t well received I held back. If people only know whew, he’s the biggest slime ball I’ve ever seen. But, hey, he’s gone. And regardless of what happens we’ll be better off. But he threw the season. It was so easy to see. Just like he did the Missouri Memphis game before he came here. Feel bad for those players.

I think most will wait until we know who the new coach is. If it's Oats or Hurley, I could seriously see most of the kids hoping to stick to their commitments, although I'm not sure how the dynamics work with a new coach coming in and an old coach's recruits. Tubby won a NC in his first year thanks to everyone coming back. Not sure if it works that way today, though.They all have LOI and everyone will be released if they ask for it. Perry probably be one of the only ones who realistically stays.
This makes zero senseYou talking about him taking 50k from Memphis like it’s a big deal and downplaying 33 million 😂
Starting your least productive players is not by accident.That might explain some of these tournament losses.
He's a POS.KSR just heard CAL was in Arkansas Friday after leaving Arizona. Kept it quiet even Barney didn’t know supposedly until after midnight last night.
Maybe but I expect a big push to flip Fland from several top programs.Perry signed with UK, not Cal. He’s a Kentucky kid.
The rest signed with Cal, so they will probably play for him next season in Arkansas.
Wow that was the same classless act Tubby pulledPilgrim reported that the current players didn’t even know and were blindsided and assistants contacted a recruit last night. But everyone was blindsided by this and they still haven’t heard from the coaching staff.

It was different for Tubby since he was an assistant for the coach that departed so he had already been coaching the guys who stayed and he probably had some sort of interactions with the recruits Pitino was recruiting.I think most will wait until we know who the new coach is.

The new coach will have no such ties to the current roster or class unless we hire one of Cal’s current assistants 🤢
Have to think Perry might be swayed to stick around being a Kentucky kid and all.Assume all current players and our 6 recruits are all gone.. With portal, not so much an issue. But we may take a hit next season.. but I didn’t have high expectations for next year with Calipari.
And bottom line is, Calipari was leaving at some point in next 5 years.. so this was going to happen. Just when… If you get a home run hire, may even have a better team next year. Solid, and it may take us another year.
New coach might get a couple current players back, and 1-2 of the recruits, but assume they are all gone.
Classy move Cal🤦♂️Pilgrim reported that the current players didn’t even know and were blindsided and assistants contacted a recruit last night. But everyone was blindsided by this and they still haven’t heard from the coaching staff.

Yep, you’re right. I was 7 at the time so I didn’t remember but I knew Tubby had been an assistant for Pitino and then became head coach. For some reason I had it my head that he went from assistant at UK to head coach at UK when Pitino left.??
Tubby hadn't had any interaction with the players on the '98 UK roster or any recruits.
I’ve never heard of Cal having any issues with country club gambling like Dana did. I do have direct knowledge about Cal cutting ties with former personal assistant, “Smitty” over a threat he made to a personal friend of mine who was a longtime AAU coach in Memphis and Chattanooga prior to his death. My buddy had asked Cal for a pretty large donation for his AAU team and Smitty demanded his “cut” when he delivered it from Cal. Smitty was then made manager of The Fields, a joint on Beale St. (since closed) that Cal had an interest in.Trust me, that’s the least of what he did but he owed at several spots it’s true. What he did to the offices at Memphis was worse, emptied them out out of spite and some other things that were dirty. For no reason too people were shocked.

CCC has certainly always been about himself ! No doubt about that !Cal is about Cal always has been.. We dodged a big one here…
What are the odds that there will be one or two no-shows ? ! ? I'll bet Theiro "already has unchangeable commitments" for 2:00 p.m. today !Players have been informed a meeting will take place at 2pm today at Cals house
His ego left that...He left 33 million on table that UK owed him
Wait.....gambling debts???Look, we're going to learn a LOT over the next few days .... the guy was a POS.

100 bucks says Cal let this leak... he wanted to see all the fans cry,Did the news leak out before Cal intended, or was it planned to release the information at this time? It almost sounds like someone had a scoop they couldn’t keep quiet.
