Coach Cal's bucket list for UK

[JFCats22]

Um, yeah...sign me up for this!

http://www.courier-journal.com/stor...ket-list-kentucky-basketball-goals/313682001/

- Win multiple national championships at UK. (Calipari and the Wildcats won the title in 2012).

- Raise $50 million for charity through the Calipari Foundation.

- Have six consecutive 30-win seasons. (that's happened in four of Calipari's eight seasons at UK. The Wildcats 30-win season streak is at one after winning 32 games last season and 27 in 2015-16).

- Have six players taken in the first round of the NBA Draft. (Five former Wildcats were taken in the 2010 draft, four in 2012 and 2015).

- Go 40-0 for a season. (Kentucky won the first 38 games of the 2014-15 season before falling to Wisconsin in the Final Four).

- Back-to-back years with No. 1 draft picks. (Calipari has coached three No. 1 overall picks at UK: John Wall, 2010; Anthony Davis, 2012; Karl-Anthony Towns, 2015).

- Have the No. 1, 2 and 3 picks in the same draft. (Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist went No. 1 and 2 in 2012).

- Coach half the guys in the same NBA All-Star Game.

Sounds like a plan

 

[GLR5555]

That sounds like an awesome journey.

 

[WildMoon]

Just give me that damn 40 - 0. hahahahaha

that would require probably 1 - 2 - 3 draft pick to happen.

and.... probably 6 players drafted in first round.

 

[Bluesnky]

1, 2, AND 3?!

That's my favorite one because it is almost unthinkable. 40-0 is way more doable.

 

[Titles1]

Need more of the first one.

 

[Jkwo]

Need more of the first one.

The sneaky part he didn't reveal: he put them in reverse order of importance. Cal and most of this board don't care about that one.

 

[CatPhight]

Call me greedy, I'd rather have back-to-back years with a nati.

 

[Big Cat fan]

Great to see this.

 

[ORCAT]

Yep, give me the first one on the list all day long. The rest would just be gravy. Titles, baby!!!!!

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Yeah the 1, 2, 3 is damn near impossible. Yes, AD and MKG did the 1 and 2, and they did it on potential.. but 3 guys on one team? Hard for everyone to show out like that and get the stats.

Crazy as it is, 40-0 seems much more do-able.

Great to see this.

Hints that Cal doesn't dream of one day making it back to the NBA.

 

[ORCAT]

Hints that Cal doesn't dream of one day making it back to the NBA.

And also hints that Cal will be at UK for many years yet, not retiring very soon.

 

[GonzoCat90]

He could do the top 3 picks next year with Bagely, Zion and Barrett

Could also add that second title and a real shot at 40-0.

I just love that he's chasing it. What a psycho. Hope he stays forever.

 

[blubo]

He's also said that he would like to catch up to ucla's eleven titles.

You know you had your chance. Now that Florida is good again that'll keep you from ever getting it.

Just give me #9 any time soon.

 

[csrupp]

Never heard of her.

 

[kev69]

Pretty cool stuff.

Cal is a very smart man. He knows he has to win at least two more titles here to become an all time UK legend.

My guess is, he will. After watching the Espn thing, it's abundantly clear, he absolutely hates to lose.

 

[UKEE]

Need more of the first one.

This....and your username should be change to Titles2, Titles3 and Titles4 to reflect that!

 

[dubtown80]

who?

It will make it harder anyways

So that leaves, what, Rupp and Wayne Turner as the list of UK legends?
