SIAP but Calipari wants players to stay longer now?

His last 7 or 8 years of recruiting have not been good enough to win if he is the coach. He hasn't landed elite blue chippers consistently and when he has had uber talent he has choked worse than any coach in the country.

Enjoy your recruiting titles and winning 20 games a year every year but you will be reminded that you are never winning anything with Cal when you get bounced out of the tournament by a significantly inferior team. Rinse/repeat.

Arkansas will probably be ecstatic with this. UK is not.

They’ll find out soon enough, talent wasnt EVER the issue. Roster mismanagement yes. Glad that clown show moved on. GBB!

I responded to a post that said he will not be able to recruit to the level he did at Kentucky . I disagree and doubled down that Pope will not recruit to the level Cal did (even with that Kentucky brand )

From what a lot of Arkansas fans have said, I don't think they'd want you speaking for them.

He appears to be recruiting exactly like when he was at Kentucky lol . Pope is the one who is isn't going to be able to recruit to the level Cal did .

Yeah, most people wanted to move away from the way Cal recruited and built a team.

Pretty confident i haven't been voted as the official spokesperson but i have not met one person who is unhappy about Cal being hired . If anything I was more hesitant about the hire than most because i am tight with a couple Kentucky fans who had been in my ear for a couple years about all his faults . I actually wanted Chris Beard or Will Wade but we have Cal and the discussion started because a poster had said he wouldn't be able to recruit to the level he did at Kentucky . There is LOTS people can say about Cal but the one thing no one can question is his ability to bring in top talent . He has done it wherever he has been and he is doing it at Arkansas as well .

You wanted Will Wade or Chris Beard? The two biggest deadbeats out there.

You never attended the University, clearly. Anything to win I see. Good luck. Woo Pig S......oh whatever.

Kentucky will recruit itself. He absolutely will not bring in the number #1 class year after year after year like he did at Kentucky. But you better pray I'm wrong, because mere top 10 classes will not have enough talent to compensate for his inept and lazy coaching. You will have some hype and some Kentucky transfers your first year, so I think you will do modestly well year 1. You think you got the Saban of basketball, but it's more like Petrino and will probably end about the same, minus the road rash. Don't believe us. It makes little difference but understand, we have watched him carefully for 15 years.

Yep and I didn't want Petrino fired either . I tell you who i absolutely didn't want when his name was mentioned . Mark Pope

Kentucky had the #30 overall ranked class this year and #8 in the SEC . I don't know if Cal will have the #1 class year after year but he will be in the top 5 and will recruit better than Pope that is a given . Kids want to go to the NBA and no one does it better than Cal . Has Pope even put 1 player in the NBA ?
