Hopefully that ship sailed when Emmert left town. The NCAA has been awfully quiet these last few years, so if they blow up and decide to make UK/Cal's life a pain (again), it'll be so damned obvious, the media better remove the sock from their mouths and speak up.
Yea but Cal also said all that after the 9-16 team and last year happened again.
I don't think Cal was prioritizing basketball during covid. Cal has been one of the best. He knows what it takes to be elite. Its hard for me to believe Cal fear's being fired.
If the NCAA DID do anything, I would play him anyway and tell the NCAA to get back to me when they have done something about NC and Kansas. That's just me, though.
That’s a big relief. If he didn’t have legs my enthusiasm for him as a Kentucky player would fall off dramatically.
I'd tell them to get screwed, and sue me
4 of top 5 are very deatable/ opinionated. How about top 20 ? Yes there a some Internatinal stars. Jokic, Greek Freak, Embid, Luca. But several US players are there also. The league is still very American heavy.
Yes actually Cal did sign the Mega class. Welch is not a recruiter. He had nothing g to do with signing the 4 top 15 guys. Wagner was a Cal lean when he was born lol look hate the man all you want. Recruiting is why he does best. He missed on a few guys the last few years, Noone is perfect.
Would the NCAA make him eligible or is this another Enes issue?
No hate of Cal on my part. Don’t like everything he does but if he is our coach I want him to win!! He definitely pulled DJ from history. I think Reed wanted to come here. Cal recruits well but I definitely think our assistants are doing better on recruiting. Joel and Barbee just didn’t pull in many guys. O and Chin are known as recruiters. This big guy looks great on tape. Cal had hinted something happening in August could this be it.
Yes, please. (I asked nicely.)
I would have loved to see Isaac come back the best year. He was really developing at the end of 2017 in the tournament.
we will see. Kid hasn’t even had a chance to suit up yet. I like this guy though.
I agree but Cal and the way he’s acted was different around this time too. I think it was a combination of things but it ultimately falls on him. That’s why he makes almost 200k a week.
That’s absurd. Almost 200K a week. Good Lord. 🤦♂️
I couldn’t imagine that kind of payday every week. Insane money and he’s not even in the insane money club for Uber rich people. I’m sure he probably pays 30k a week in taxes but still. It would be nice to see that balance in the account one time.
But should not a HOF coach be able to adjust with the personnel he has- if you have to have the best personnel to win all the time, then I think alot of people can do that but what sets great coaches apart is they win without having the best players and still not sure Cal can do that- it seems he sticks to 1 way no matter what and just does not make adjustments, just my opinion
yep then you look at what guys like Steph Curry make it is unreal money for playing or coaching a sport
If Shai gets his five year max contract of $400 million, his weekly pay will be north of $1.53 million. Cal will be on food stamps compared to Shai. 🤪
Speaking of changing the narrative, didn't we lose to a 15 seed the year we were a 2 seed?
And every hockey team is a Gretzky away from a Stanley Cup.
Well. He's fairly raw now, but we need someone willing to protect the rim AND grab rebounds if the others are struggling. With his skill set it would be automatic yes, certainly if his passing game stands up, but he apparently focuses on shooting and we will have enough talent there. The availability of our bigs will be a question mark. Watching the tournament in Canada, the other team was eating our lunch on the boards because it wasn't a primary ability or role with who was on the floor. You can't have that against the top college teams in the world.
