I am amazed now reading several different threads where fans here are expressing concerns that if Cal leaves (whether by choice or not) it will set the program back, we will lose the recruiting class, or other disasters feared.
If the program is set back for a year to get someone who can build the program back to our historically elite status I am all for it. So, instead some want the same mediocre outcomes to continue because they fear a step back? Well exactly what is a "step-back." No SEC Titles, No SEC Tournament Titles, no NCAA Titles, weird or awful coaching decisions, favoritism of undeserving players, one dimensional offense and defense especially in critical times of a game, expectations that Freshman are going to be experienced, antagonism toward the fans, underachievement with talent, crazy home losses, eroding of our history and elite program status, etc.????
I was a huge fan of Cal but clearly his success was based upon getting the elite of the elite recruits. That ship has sailed as the lure of Kentucky basketball. A change must occur.
For those who love Cal you can continue to celebrate and feel proud of all the former Kentucky players and how well they are doing as pro's.
