If (Lord help us) Cal is still Kentucky's coach next season, be prepared for:
-"These guys genuinely like each other."
-"This team has some incredibly likeable personalities."
-"[Player X] is shooting lights-out in practice."
-"[Returning player] looks much improved and will have a PJ Washington sophomore jump."
-"BBN will fall in love with this group."
-"[Player X] is the best rebounder/assists man/steals man I've ever seen in practice."
-"These guys are ready to go for the Champion's Classic."
-"This is the revenge tour."
-"This team is looking even better than I thought they would; they're way ahead of schedule."
-"This could be one of Cal's best teams here."
-"Cal is on a mission and just has that look in his eyes. He'll be coaching with his head on fire."
-[Insert stupid Swaggy Cal quote here.] "We've got old Cal back, hell yeah."
Gotta hope that Cal is gone, but I'm bracing for the worst that he'll still be around somehow. Kentucky basketball can and will let me down by hanging onto his ass.
Anyway, don't fall for any of these tired lines. Remember Dillingham saying that one shot didn't go in because it will in March? Just like that sorry quote, we'll be fed lies all throughout the offseason. Don't think it'll be any damn different, no matter how much they try to prop up next year. We're in for a crap storm again if Cal comes back.
