He’s usually a top notch coach in the rankings but then when the season starts and he has to coach is when he nose dives.He’s the king of preseason rankings. It’s the tournament that gives that fat hog problems.

Yeah.It's meaningless until there are games played, I would say at least 5 per team. So, any modeling right now, has way too many assumptions to be valid.
This is coming from a Statistician who has developed a model.
Likely?20-11 (10-8) is likely and not horrible under the circumstances.
Seriously, with the experience on this team, we should be a problem from the start. It takes every team some time to reach their true form and, we will get better as the season wears on. At the same time, if the hype is even close to real, we should be good from day one.Nah. If someone wants to believe we could lose 4/5 to start SEC play... ok, that's whatever. But this team is not finishing the season like that. And I don't even have to look at the schedule. I expect us to be a real problem by the end of conf play.
In this years SEC, that's likely a top 25 team. I think that's fair. Not the ceiling, for sure. But probably not the floor either.Likely?

KenPom doesn't mean much until it has sufficient data to stabilize.
Not a lot to go off of in a team scrimmage demo, but they do have a long way to go. It's going to take a year for everyone to truly be on the same page.I just hope our delusional fans do not turn on Coach Pope. I hope they understand he can't be expected to turn this program around year one with a total rebuild through the portal
Calipari beat the 96 UK team.Do these people STILL not understand John Calipari the coach?? The Arkansas roster isn't stellar (even if they were not all suffering from mystery Cal injuries), but John Calipari would have struggled to bring home the bronze with the 92 Dream Team.
That was 28 years ago. Cal was a young, hungry coach trying to prove himself. He’s 65 years old,Calipari beat the 96 UK team.
Here's what Arkansas fans should remember about Kenpom: The week before the NCAA Tournament last year, Kentucky was 13 and Oakland was 141.Just FYI. Thought you all would be interested.
I sure hope so, one thing is for sure. I will be cheering my ass off and tuning into every game again. I watched most Cal games but after 2020 a lot of game I knew we would just lose because I’d seen it before so much.#42??!! That's hilarious. It's going to be awesome way outperforming national expectations this year vs what we had been doing for many years now.
It’s even emptier than I thought. I believe my prediction of 2k people is about right.
He’s the king of running a program, until the lights shine brightest and then he forgots what to do.He’s usually a top notch coach in the rankings but then when the season starts and he has to coach is when he nose dives.

Yeah, he used to prepare and coach. Old Cal wasn't bad.Calipari beat the 96 UK team.
So about like the last few years except without one and done freshmen?Don't try to reason on this board. It's not wanted.
But, yeah, I agree.
I can see a scenario this team is a few games over .500 and middle of the pack in conference. I also see a scenario it wins 25 games and is top 3 in conference. My gut tells me it's a roughly 10 loss team, somewhere around 4-6 in conference and a 5/6 seed in the tourney.
