Told you all the Cal social media brigade was going to start.
Careful What you ask for!!

Cals first year at UK he had SIX returning players from the final BCG experiment, so the cupboard was not totally bare!!
Those six averaged over 130-mpg, 45-ppg, 27-rbpg and 10-astpg in 2008/09!!!

Agree but my argument is to counter anyone who doesn’t want to lose Cal because that means losing 5* recruits. That’s all I was saying.
I know, we might get worse talent and lose in the first round.... oh wait.
Reed has a chance to come back. 0% on Rob his stock is too high not to. The only thing saving reed is the massive NIL he would get in addition to being UK blood. Rob doesn't have that (in his blood) and even in the case of reed it's probably not enough if he can get selected where he's projected.
I would welcome both back and be ecstatic obviously but I could also walk outside get struck by lightening, live, go buy a Powerball ticket and win that too. I mean theoretically it's possible no matter how small the percentage I just don't see it though.
If Cal leaves or is terminated the recruits aren't gonna follow him cuz he's not gonna coach at another school. Anywhere else couldn't feed his ego
You make it seem like Cal is the only coach who has recruits that commit to him. If Kentucky hires another coach, wouldn't it be reasonable to think some of their recruits or hell even their current college players transfer here in the portal era? I think so! This isn't 2009. The transfer portal makes a rebuild process less strenuous and if done right, can turn a team around on a dime.
Or, what coach is going to come in and do a better job and not set UK back several more years. I am not impressed with the coaching possibilities out there right now. Our disdain is so high for Cal are we willing to settle for a unproven coach? Buying another coach out in 3 years. I wouldn't be so concerned if there was coaches out there that were proven and not a few years away from retirement, the pickings are slim. I know things are bad by UK standards, but I don't want to be another IU or UofL, after many years, still trying to find the right guy.
Let me get this straight. That little bitch Cal has emptied our stables every single year for the past fifteen years straight except for that one time the NBA lockout cramped his style.
And now you want us to be afraid to fire his that’ll-be-another-nine-million-dollars-please ass because if we fire his see-what-I-did-there-ha-ha-you-people ass it could empty the stables.
Okay.
The stables will be empty.
So????????????

I don't see z returning. He seemed like he could see the bs going on
Oh it can still get way worse. We can be irrelevant going into post season with no chance of winning. Atleast now we are a 2 and 3 seed with a hope. Try not making the tournament a few years and see how that feels
This needs to be pinned at the top of the board, spread through every available channel of social media, and printed in every newspaper (still printing) in KY.
Granted, my gut is telling me he’ll be back next year, but this is what I said at the end of last year to my son that tried to use the returning kids and incoming recruits were worth keeping Cal another year. It doesn’t matter who stays or who we’re bringing in; we still have Cal to coach them…and look at what we got! 🙄
Them: We will lose the recruits!
Bennies: We lose with the recruits!
How is this point not clear to people yet?

So what you are saying is that anytime that Calipari has a top 1 or 2 recruiting class. That we've got to let him come back to coach them or they might go some where else? So based on that he's here for ever. And as far as only Pitino & Pearl being the only 2 people that could handle the UK job, PLEASE......Jay Wright as calm as he is in front of a camera would fit the UK job like a glove. Billy Donovan is used to the media, like Wright he would have no problem dealing with the spotlight that goes with being the UK basketball coach...... If the recruits want to go somewhere else if Calipari is fired, then let them go. If we suffer for the 1st year of a new coach that's fine with me. We've got to get someone else in here to rebuild this mess that Calipari has made.
Exactly, every year Cal is here extends the pain unless, however unlikely, he convinces some "productive" players to return.
That's basically become an irrelevant question considering how much the rules of roster construction have TOTALLY changed in this new NIL/transfer portal era. The standards of the past don't really apply to this new game.
Coaches no longer rebuild as much as “reload” now with the transfer portal and NIL to work with. It’s now possible to completely redo your roster in just one off-season to a degree that was inconceivable in the past.
I have no doubt a new coach will be able top put together a competitive roster next year. It ain't gonna win a title, but that's not gonna happen anyways even if we keep Cal. The first year transition pains are gonna happen no matter what whenever we eventually change coaches. So we might as well get them out of the way now.
I’m willing to endure a down year in exchange for new long term excitement. I’ll support that situation right now. This mentality has held Kentucky hostage for at least three years now and look what the fear factor of losing one recruiting class has produced. First round, round of 32 first round. Will we really be losing anything?
WTF….
The current state of the program is a complete all systems failure. We literally have NOTHING to lose or fear with a coaching change. It quite literally can’t get worse.
What a dumb post.

Not necessarily but even if it is the transfer portal makes a rebuild easy if you know what you are doing. Otzelberger at Iowa State took a team that won 2 games the year before and made the NCAAs his first season.
I see what you're saying, but you're missing the point... He's proven that all these five stars do nothing in March.
A new coach will get recruits... (We're still Kentucky, the gold standard. That wasn't Cal, it was the school.). However, it won't just be about recruits like he's made us believe. A new coach will look at transfers, and four star recruits, and develop a new system that will have a better chance at winning.
Stop looking at things through a Cal lens about only recruits. He's fooled us all into thinking that way.
I could not care less about the recruits and nobody else should either.
Thats about the way I feel too. I am so tired of this toxic situation that I could live with 1-2 years of not even making the tourney if thats what it takes to get things back on track.
Yeah really, I personally rather lose with a losing team and Coach then an amazing team with a poor coach. If we're gonna suck may as well make sure to not have any hope of the kids playing better than the coach wants them to. Oh wait that happened all year already didn't it haha Cow couldn't stand Wagner Edwards and Bradshaw get showed up ALL year. So he sank the ship in the name of his freshman class. So f off cow.
Good! They are the most consistent underperformers in the game these days
Who is pushing back? Don’t worry, everyone! We will find a coach. Seriously. And they will teach defense and actually run plays.
We won't miss the tournament. We literally could not do worse than we have the last few years. Not with UK's resources. Anybody with a pulse could do better than Cal has for several years now. I can't fathom what people are so afraid of.
No longer are the days of a team progressing over a period of 3-4 years. It used to be a championship team would make the EE, FF the next year and then a championship the year after. Now you can go from not making the tournament to winning the championship the very next season.
No, but it's just a concern, and a scenario that could happen, because there are not any home run hires. Remember Kentucky is not for everyone.
I hope pastor Bob's sermons are better than his posts on catspaw
Sounds good. Let’s stick with status quo out of fear. Sounds like a perfect strategy to accomplish…nothing.
