Jai Lucas to Duke
- Thread starter MWes11
- Start date
You don’t hire a coach just to get a one and done player in my opinion. I want a coach that brings something to the table coaching or recruiting but not just one player for a year
Awful look. Terrible. And **** Jai Lucas. We don’t lose staff to ****ing Duke. Are you kidding me?
Milt brings nothing to the table except DJ. Not sure you hire an assistant at UK just for DJ. Plus, I don't see it happening. Milt and WWW are close, WWW and Payne are close...would be awkward for Cal, Payne, Milt, etc... I don't see it happening.
Oh I know. I was joking because everyone on this board was absolutely convinced Kenny was going to do that. No way Cal hires Milt - I'm highly skeptical Milt would take it if offered.
Actually, we don't. He took a position at LIU-Brooklyn. Not that he mattered on the staff anyway, just saying.Don't worry we still have Brad .
Haven't agreed with much you have said lately but 100% in agreement with this. Just a massively huge (and embarrassing) blow
Not positive, but I would think they would need a release from the university before the portal closes. I could be wrong.
Respect. We don't have to agree on everything, or even most things, but like you said, this one has no positives whatsoever. Especially after it leaks out that he was offered and declined the position only to accept it a few weeks later. Ouch.
They need him to play guard after literally their entire team jumped to the NBA.
F him we have Antigua and Chin.

Don't blame him. Either recruit with Nike or against it.
Perception though is awful. Getting close to the point of no return if it hasn't already

Just give it a day,2 at the most. Cal will do something crazy.
Does this make anyone else wonder how much time Cal has left here? Shipping Brad off, Jai jumping ship. He probably doesn't want any part of coaching against Kenny at UL.
Maybe you aren't aware of the incoming class.
There's no way to think optimistically about this.
What's wrong with you people?? As long as CCC is here we are good to go!!
Cal to the Lakers?
Hey, a man can dream 😜

I feel like Alejandro Mayorkas is running our program.... keeps saying "everything is fine and we are executing our plan" while we are getting overrun and everyone can easily see better! Sheesh.
Mitch better get out of the denial zone before it is too late - may already be.
K said they had a great succession plan in place when he left... so far so good. Damn.
Scheyer may well suck as a Head Coach - way unproven - but damn.
And lastly - Jai.... man you barely gave 2 years - not loyal at all. That said maybe he knows Cal isn't changing and decided he wanted another look... still disloyal/disrespectful af.

It was a couple of years ago.
I sure hope Wallace doesnt decommit or Collins hits the portal..damn,damn,damn..
Makes one wonder what the hell is going on at UK.I mean damn.

Im aware but Im also aware of what assistants we have and who we have coming back. Most of you guys are chicken littles anyway.
Cal has absolutely gotten depantsed and emasculated the last few years. WOW.
Another L to Duke. You just cannot lose someone like Lucas to a newbie head coach.
I hope this doesn't impact Wallace or Collins.

Something changed awful quickly, He wasn't going..now is....stay tuned for the evergrowing drama which is UK basketball
Cal, Chin, O better be racing to the lodge to talk to Collins and racing to Texas to meet with Wallace.
Yeah it's a damn soap.opera anymore.Something changed awful quickly, He wasn't going..now is....stay tuned for the evergrowing drama which is UK basketball
As the bullshit turns.
Sharpe stays in the draft. Collins and/or Wallace follow Lucas to Duke. We lost DJ to another coach who hasn't coached a single game. And probably miss on the Baylor guy from SDSU.. Calipari can't even get top recruits out of the portal any more. Calipari getting his butt kicked by 2 coaches who've never coached a college game.
We saw and heard about Calipari fighting with the assistants on and off the court this year. We saw him and Chin into it during several games, including St Peters loss. Almost lost Chin, and now Lucas...
Everyone jumping ship! Wheels are coming off in Lexington! Thanks, Mitch!
This move really promotes Duke as the premier program of the elite and a step up. Not good and having been a manager for many years, you need to keep your staff happy so something like this never happens. My impression with Cal is he does not typically give his staff a lot of authority for growth. When you look at Duke, think about all the former assistants who are now head coaches. Now compare that with Cal.......Not good.
No, we just aren't blind and oblivious like you.
Doesn't matter if Nike sends their best kids to you. You're going to win most times on talent alone.
