And why do slurpers ignore the fact that program is on a clear downtrend since 2018 and has shown no signs since 2020 that are even remotely a threat to challenge, nor will our damn coach make the changes possible to be a legit threat, so yes if he refusing yo change it’s time to go, 10 years at Kentucky is the benchmark anyways
He has made changes. He just hired a new coach apparently to help make the offense more like a NBA offense. He has changed his recruiting strategy. He has gone back to prioritizing the one-and-done recruits who helped him be so successful during an earlier period at UK. You Cal haters are so biased you won 't admit the truth.
You want truth?
The problem most have is that UK has as many open scholarships as used scholarships. When you add that to the last couple of seasons it’s a cause for concern. With that said I have no doubt Cal will have a talented roster of at least 10 players. He just needs to do a lot better this year than he did the last 3.
The nba coach I will give that a start, his offense has not changed it’s still dribble drive Bs, and he never stopped recruiting one and dones he was just getting his ass beat on the recruiting trial
Exactly. Make a business decision. It's the most money and it'll help him long term on and off the court to have extended UK ties.
Wasn’t Wallace and Livingston caught being quoted as saying this before the season started this past year. They want to get out of here as soon as possible?
Here we are hanging those #1 recruiting banners again. Ever since your boy has gotten that lifetime contract exactly what kind of success has he brought to UK? I’ll hang up and listen I know you won’t have much to say!
Since 2019? Are sure you’re a fan?
The tournament was cancelled in 2020 because of covid. We had a strong team that year and seemed headed for a strong run in the tournament. In 2021 we had a bad year but a lot of blue bloods did because of covid. We were upset by a very underrated team in 2022. This year's team was only pretty good. They won 1 tournament game. That was a good accomplishment as far as I'm concerned.
Come on Trollin Terry, winning just one tournament game isn’t the gold standard
Dude just head on back to your Louisville board they miss you over there! This is UK winning 1 tournament game since 2019 isn’t UK standards! QUIT MAKING EXCUSES FOR THE CON MAN!
It’s just hard to accept that a guy would flush his legacy down the toilet like he is.
I hope you're right, but I can't help but think that Cal is behind all these shenanigans. Otherwise, why does he not call them out? They're grown-ass adults. If you're going to cheat your coach and the program, then you ought to be fine with the blowback that comes from it. Cal just seems too part and parcel.
Oh he definitely is behind it. He created the culture thst allows the bahavior we have seen.
I'm here in Chicago, Illinois not Louisville. The program has been down for a few years. I am extremely optimistic about this year's great recruiting class. You Cal haters root for the team to fail. I always pull for the team to win. Thst's the difference between me and the Cal haters. I also don't have a pathological hatred for the coach.
Cal lost it when he thought he could stubborn his way into an undefeated season while proving he was smarter than everyone else and missed it by just that much. Since then he's doubled down on the stubborn but with half the success.
Yeah, this ain’t DePaul. It’s understandable that someone in Chicago wouldn’t have a finger on the pulse of UK basketball. But, don’t try to apply their weak expectations onto the greatest program in the history of the sport. It’s downright insulting & any real UK fan knows that. A 2nd round exit here is a failure, plain & simple. This fanbase doesn’t celebrate mediocrity & it never will.
Yeah if he really is from Chicago lol
I swear. No way that dude is a fan of UK. It was a success to lose 13 games guys! One tourney win in 5 years is good. Cal is great! What an accomplishment!!
After Baller made that thread begging a mod to ban me and used the username that I wore a skirt…it was a great example of how crazy some people are on the internet. No doubt in my mind theirs people that get on here with multiple accounts just to make things dramatic. Idk why anyone would do that and I don’t understand why they enjoy it.
Off his meds again...
He's actually working out for teams right now, I believe the Bucks most recently. So just because he didn't get invited to the combine, doesn't mean his work was done. I believe he was multiple private workouts scheduled with NBA execs
Yeah but I think you have to consider this: IF you're wanting to be a professional basketball player, going to the G-League allows you to train full time, by NBA personnel, personal trainer, etc. Being at UK might get you more in NIL, but you have to go to college classes, you have to do team workouts instead of your own training, much more is focused on team success than your individual success
I think there's a lot of truth there. We all talk about him pushing kids to the NBA, but maybe these kids don't like Cal and desperately trying to get to the NBA to avoid him. He doesn't stress free throws, doesn't teach much of an offense, plays favorites, let's certain guys hide from being exposed, makes fun of the fans, allows a certain player to push for renaming Rupp Arena, places little importance in winning the conference. I for one would not want to be anywhere near a coach like that.
You're giving Chitown Terry way too much credit for his mental faculties. He will never figure anything out.
It's 2023 not 1973. The days of a few blue blood programs dominating college basketball are over. Chicagoans have given up on Depaul. You act like that program is admired here. Depaul is one of the worst college basketball programs in the country. Kentucky is in great shape conpared to Depaul. UK is poised to be one of the top programs again.
