So…you’re saying a 6 plus man recruiting class where the only top 10 prospect is a 16 year old is not how the roster should be built!?!?
SIAP: MJ says it’s all on Mitch concerning Cal’s future
- Thread starter bbncal02
- Start date
This needs to be finished this weekend.
Hopefully the coach search has been ongoing for some time and it’s just a matter of a few announcements. If we go into next week then chances are not good for what 99.9% of the fan base wants.

I agree, but why? Isn't Barnhart ccc's boss? Barnhart should fire him for insubordination at the least. The total disrespect is ridiculous. Time to get even.
My fear is that Cal is here another year or two or three. I only care that he’s gone. They can hire a high school coach for all I care. Just get CCC out of here.
I don't understand they point you are trying to make to me since you are basically saying the same thiing I'm saying. I guess you want to flex your knowledge of recruiting. Have it at it.
He wants to keep recruiting the best of the best and add a few older guys. He's doing that now. Not much at all is going to change if he stays. Anyway, agree to disagree about whatever it is we are disagreeing about.
Love the PG they have signed up but he's only 17 too.
Funny how you people turn up when you feel you have the upperhand. Blowed out by Gonzaga.
8 > 4
4 + 4 more = 8
Til' next year.
Per Matt Jones this morning:
1 The decision is all in Barnhart’s hand..
2. The money will be there.
3. The University leadership is supportive of whatever he decides, I think we know something by Monday, if not before
If all the above is true, Mitch has to let CCC go. The obstacles ($ and university backing) are no longer. I would think that a list of potential successors has been completed and possible candidates may have already been contacted. I believe Mitch will be hesitant to inqiure about Golden or Oltzelberger (not seasoned enough). Does not want a Billy Clyde repeat!
IMO, Mitch will look for a coach with an experienced coaching resume in Div 1, either Drew or Pearl.
Pearl is a 5 year coach given his age, who will not demand a buyout but will pour his energy and try to re-recruit some of the current year players (Reed, DJ, Z, Thiero, Burks, maybe Edwards), the COW high school recruits, and perhaps bring some of his AU freshmen with him.
Drew is known as an X and O’s coach that we have been missing during the CCC era. He is possibly a 10-year guy at age 53 and has brought a program from the scrap heap to a National Championship. Has not been in trouble with the NCAA and is fairly low key. He is not a charmer or media darling which would be refreshing.
I would think that Mitch is looking for a Drew-type personality as the next coach who does not bring any past baggage with him. Of course, Baylor is still in the tournament so no announcement would be made until Baylor is eliminated or wins it all. My $.02 worth!

I got news for you fella… there are plenty of examples that not just “ANYBODY” can do it. Look at Indiana. Look at Louisville. Look at UCLA.
I agree, the UofL, IU scenario scares me more than losing in the first round of the tournament.
And that beginning there speaks to another issue — firing the coaches he hired.
I hope Mitch remembers the Calipari treats him like garbage. I hope he lets Calipari know that he has been an absolute fraud the last five years while making $45 million. It’s time to split up and get somebody else like Scott Drew or just about anybody that will coach the kids, and make the fanbase rally behind them
100% agree! He continues to play the wrong guys at the detriment of UK and it can’t FN continue!!!
Hey fella, one coach won every title at Indiana. One coach won 10/11 at UCLA. One coach won 2/3 titles at U of L.
Kentucky has had 5 coaches win titles. They can get a 6th. Also you could argue that Indiana and Louisville both held on to their best coaches for 5 seasons too long. If anything it mean UK needs to move on NOW.
Knight won 3 out of their 5 titles. But yeah, IU before Knight was a flash in the pan, they won 2 titles early on then quickly faltered.
Wow I honestly didn’t know that. Who was the coach that won the titles before knight?
This is the issue. I don’t have faith in Mitch to make a good hire. I’m not in the Scott Drew crew
Does Matt Jones know everything. They should fire the person at UK who is leaking information to him all the time. Get them out of UK.
Interesting. If you check my last few posts where am I gloating about Kansas?
So you would have popped in here to post if UK was in round 2 and Kansas was out after round 1? No, you wound't have. Rival fans are so phony showing up when things are going better for them. Pathetic.
This topic had nothing to do with Kansas until you showed up right after we lost and started talking Kansas. You're not good at this lying thing.
I compared everyone thinking that the A.D. would make a coaching search decision when boosters are dropping the dime to what actually happens when a booster gives money. A real life example to curb all the hysteria being posted here out of your frustrations.
