Jones is shredding UK MBB right now

Looks like the boosters are stepping in. Starving him of NIL money. Not exactly the way I thought it would go down, but it makes sense. After all, they’re going to need that money to go toward his ridiculous buyout.
Bingo..I've been saying for a month. if one or more want change then the best way is to hurt them where it really hurts...$$.
The good of the many outweighs the good of the one even if it sacrifices a season.
 
Yeah I know everyone hates Matt Jones but he is telling the truth here.Kyle Tucker,Ben Roberts and others are now saying the same thing.
Jones only mad because cut him off. Not saying he's not right, just that his reasons are different for his outrage. If Cal would still let him sniff his underwear, he'd be right in his corner.

Yes. He is sad that he thought he was friends with Calipari and he spurned him. Honestly, everything he said has been posted here for the last month. He's just saying that some 'source' is telling him.

When Jones says shit you all disagree with, you hate him and think he's a full-of-shit democrat. For instance, when he has criticized our basketball facilities, you all have gone off the rails on him. However, when he says something you all want to hear or want to be true, suddenly he is very knowledgeable and honest. Weird times.
So many sock accounts popping up out of nowhere. You appeared 23 minutes ago. Who are you?

This. But for me I agreed with him on the facilities and this one. It's obvious things are not right with Basketball rn. Maybe this massive influx of talent fixes it but I wouldn't count on it. We have 0 upper classmen at all and that's just absolutely insane in this portal age.

Maybe the are making it impossible for Cal to compete, thus forcing him to voluntarily move on. No wasted money on the buyout or NILs. Could be as simple as money talks, and the boosters are/have voted.
 
If we sign Somoto, Hart and Burks I’ll be excited. Could be an interesting and entertaining team with 2 sophs and all freshmen.

Could be terrific watching them develop and be the talk of the college bball or a disaster. Probably the former with a full roster.

Maybe not a true contender but a start of a new era with a core group that could be great over the next couple years.

Like to see UK go that route.
There’s never going to be a “core group” because no one will ever return for another year.
 
Just don't understand the need to open a new account to stand your ground?
It's odd. The one thing you should never do when you go against the grain (or with it in this instance) is feel the need to explain yourself. People are always going to be nasty about whatever information or opinion you might give. The best course of action is just to ignore them instead of confronting them. He isn't going to change anyone's opinion.
 
I think that he was just pointing out the facts that:

1. You just made the account to defend Jones (weird).
2. You might be associated with KSR (weirder).
3. That's a lot of effort for no reason.

*shrugs* Some egos can't be bruised, I guess.
I defended Jones?

I wish, then I would own part of a restaurant and have a better platform.

What effort?
 
Not true. You don’t know that in fact I would bet otherwise.

Sheppard and Adou with the others like Hart, Burks etc will stick. Add in guys Travis Perry and Jasper Johnson and a couple others we will be fine going forward. Got to get the stability back.

Nope. All but shep transfer.
 
Every basketball analyst is seeing what's happening here and they're just waiting.

Unless Cal pulls multiple rabbits out of his hat, we're looking at a disastrous season and when it happens and the BBN really goes after Cal, nobody should say the fans are out of their minds for turning on this guy.

He’s bringing the hate upon himself. He wanted to be on top of the mountain, well, he got his wish and now he can’t hide.
 
Smdh, it's all I can do. I NEVER thought I would see the program is this shape.
The walls are closing in on Calipari and Barnfart will also have to answer for things after it burns to the ground.
There are many many things I am witnessing in our culture today that I would have never ever thought possible in such a short amount of time…and the state of UK basketball is a minor example of one.
I’m responding to your comment about “Calipari and Barnhart…have to answer for things”. I realize there must be an organizational structure for such things, but who do you think is going to call either out? If this dialog hasnt already boiled over within the ranks, what more has to happen?
Just seems like we fans are a miserable troop banging our collective heads against the wall. Questioning myself as to when will I stopped being surprised at the lunacy which defines our beloved basketball program. I envy those of us that have been able to move on…I’m trying to catch up.
Rant over.
 
am I the only one that thinks that Calipari is daring Mitch to do something
I agree. Calipari wants out, and neither party will come out and say it. One side just wants to run off and pets his dogs and hang out at NBA games with his former fluffers, and the other side is afraid because they don't have a coach lined up to replace Cal.

I see you still have the lia Thomas stuff on your mind, Matt. My god you are pathetic!
 
When will fans stop going to madness, games? If people stop going to games I feel this would kinda force him out… But, I honestly feel this is his last year regardless.
If student tickets weren’t easy to get and go to I would have stopped going

Core group that could be great over the next couple of years? Of the players on the team now, who do you think will still be here ina couple of years?

Honestly Barnfart will be the one having to explain why he allowed our beloved program to get into this shape.I have always said the program is bigger than any coach or player and things kind of get swayed as long as your winning and the program is kept in good condition.Problem is when you pander players first and allow players to dictate their wants above the program then you start to see the downward spiral and that is unacceptable.Money talks...at the end of it all, one way or another the program will be put back in it's rightful place as the top concern.
With or without Calipari and Barnfart.
 
Lol. Everyone hates MJ and NEVER listens to his show. He says something they have the same belief on and they just so happened to be listening that day and would vote for him for governor. Herd that will follow anything . Let Jones say something positive about Cal and you will see a complet 180. Lol.

He has admitted in the past that his minions patrol the boards and make comments and obviously regurgitated recruiting info from HOB, which Justin has addressed before.
I had never thought about it before, but he did seem to abruptly “lose all his sources” around the same time he got caught posting on one of his burner accounts lol 🧐

Based on what, exactly?

You probably thought Lance Ware would be back. I know I did.

You probably thought a guy from Illinois State would want to come back rather than transfer somewhere else--I certainly did.

Nobody wants to stay here. The only returnees we have are Thiero and Ugonna--and Ugonna tried to leave.
 
Pro tip for anyone starting threads. If you want only the topic of your thread to be discussed, do not reference MJ in any way. Otherwise, half the posts will be people that hate him ranting about his politics, sexuality, co-hosts, etc. None of which are novel in any way, or even interesting. I realize that is how message boards work though, so whatever.

It is obvious to anyone that the relationship between Cal, the University, and the fans is over. Cal openly despises the fanbase, the media and the AD. He can't retain players, doesn't develop them, and no longer wins. I guess he wants one last chance to get another title, but who actually thinks that is remotely possible?

Even if the talent is there, and it's likely not, you don't win natties in this kind of environment. We are in a marriage that is dead, but neither party (Cal and administration) will admit it. I can't imagine there is even a miniscule chance he coaches here beyond this season.
