Cal's Comments after Illinois

[susan2361]

Since when does Kal watch tape?

I thought the same thing. If he is watching tape, does he know what to do next?😏

Arkansas fans aren’t being realistic. This is a HOF coach that they need to give him time to get his program up and running. Give him a few years, then you’ll see.

For real?!

I assumed that Cal being at a new program would keep him on his toes trying to show the world he still had it. I assumed he wouldn't be so lazy his first season and then revert to mean after that. I thought the excitement around the new players and coach might carry Arkansas with hope the first season and that they may make some noise in the first year. Man, I don't think Cal is going to last 3 years there at this rate.

Yeah, I was thinking that Cal was going to put forth massive effort and do what it takes to win a least a few more games. In order to try to show Kentucky that they should have fought for him and also to show what we were losing out on this season. I don't think it's working😜🤪. I don't think he has it in him.

Basically, the same team of players at Arkansas would have been at Kentucky if Cal stayed. So, what you are seeing from Cal would have been the same for Kentucky. For those who were so upset about Cal's departure, how do you feel now?

As usual, players who play for Cal will only play worse as the season progresses because of his mental games. If he ever had it, he has certainly lost it.

Yeah...if Cal stays here is your roster

PG - Wagner, Fland
SG - Fland/Portal
SF - Richmond/Knox
PF - Thiero...maybe as he hit portal before Cal to Arky/maybe portal
C - Ivisic/Quantance

Not sure if Bradshaw stays.

Does Welch stay...who knows.

But this would have an absolute snoozer of a team to watch struggle to hit 60 pts.

My thoughts exactly. I knew he would fail there but I thought for sure he'd actually try his first year, just to spite us. Nope, he's too lazy even for that.

I respectfully disagree.

Cal is trying his hardest and giving it his best.

He just can't figure out he just can't coach and his offense is as outdated as last year's fruit cake.

Cal THOUGHT he could make a big splash at Arkansas and thumb his nose at UK and BBN.

He has got to be sick at his stomach dealing with reality right now.

Nah Welch bounced right after the tournament.

Yes I am for real, that was sarcasm. 💯

Add Somto. Doubt Bradshaw stays. And Kyle Tucker reported Welch was leaving regardless of what Cal did, and I don't think Cal would have been able to replace him with Brad either, so maybe just replace that spot with Kenny Payne. Coach O, Bruiser, Chin, Kenny Payne, Chuck Martin.

Man. That roster with that staff reeks of 18-14.

The pig fans better pray that Thiero’s back stays healthy! He is most of their scoring and physicality!!

I told my son the other day that if Thiero gets injured or his back(NIL/Dad) flares up again they won’t make the tournament.

 

[Mike-McD]

Cal's teams never guard the PNR well.

Very true, although at this point I doubt they make the tournament regardless. Between Cal's coaching and Arkansas' roster, it's hard to see nine SEC wins for the Hogs, and their opportunities for quality non-conference wins are now limited to next week at Miami and December 10 versus Michigan in Madison Square Garden. Arkansas' best out-of-conference win may wind up being ... Lipscomb?
