I just think Cal's system inhibits a lot of these guys, especially the lower rated ones.
Tre Mitchell to visit this weekend!!!
- Thread starter HYTCHYE ISLAND
- Start date
He coached here 2 years, he wasn't here long enough to kill it, Cal has been well on his way to killing us.
And billy was below average both years, I’m not pro cal by any stretch but he is better than billy, billy was probabaly the worst coach Kentucky has ever had
did you pay attention to his recruits
the only reason he never had a historically bad season is because he got fired after only two years
not to mention his player treatment
PPats mother saved us from a couple more years og BCG
but believe what you will
You don't see a problem with the 3 words in bold? I do, we used to be the best. Tubby didn’t let that slip, Joe B didn’t let that slip, Pitino sure didn't, but Cal, the highest paid coach in the country, did.
I didn’t say Billy was better, but here's the difference, Billy was shit canned for underperforming, before he could do any more damage, Cal comtinues to get richer, while crapping the bed. .
Fair point on that, but the min our AD gave out a lifetime contract Kentucky was in a bad spot
He was quiet last summer and the summer before that too. He’s hiding. He knows he's underperforming, but you better believe he'll be all talkative and calling fans out the second he wins a game this season.
And Cal has taken full advantage of the situation.
Red wouldn't buy Reeves the rock hammer he had ask for. Case closed.
So Reeves had to turn around and crawl back through a stink I dont even want to imagine.
I mean he went 9-16 then followed it up with an embarrassing 1st rd loss to a 15 seed. The redemption tour after that was a second rd loss to Kst. It's pretty bleak shit.
People might not want to realize it but I think Oscar kept cow from going to 2 straight NIT's the past 2 years.
Without him I can only imagine how bad it would have been. Yet some are so glad hes gone. Rude awakening could be comin.
We were writing about the same post I guess at the same time but you got yours up 1st.😁
Yea but billy g would never come close to what cal did here from 2010-2015 at all, I get being upset with cal, he has been for a extended period now but billy g was the worst coach to every coach Kentucky
Tubby sure as hell let it slip. Don't try and rewrite history. His best teams, other than the 98 NCAA championship team which were all players that Pitino recruited and coached, were 1999, 2003 and 2004. Not one of those reached a FF, and yes, we might have if Bogans had been healthy against Marquette. Truth be told, Marquette was so hot that day that we might not have advanced even if Bogans had been fully Healthy. The last 4 years we weren't an NCAA championship contender and Tubby let our recruiting slip so bad that we settled for players like Orbutz, Pilgrim, Perry, Carrier, Saul Smith, Alleyne etc. Does anyone want to compare guys like Tshiebwe, Richards, Quickley, Maxey, SGA, Washington, Hero, Bam, Fox, Monk and Wallace to the players Tubby recruited his final 4 years? Crawford, Bradley and Morris were all above average players, but none of them had decent NBA or really any NBA careers to speak of. Tubby just could not or would not recuit. Either way, let's not kid ourselves that by the time we hired BCG, UK was no longer relevant in cbb the way it had been under all previous coaches beginning with Rupp. Even Sutton had a couple very good teams until the roof fell in.
Oh I agree. It's just Cals kinda going after that low bar. I think the 9-16 season broke him.
I don’t know if it’s been shared here but just saw a tweet that said Mitchell does not have other visits scheduled…that’s comforting
Cal's last 3 years are on equal footing with Billy G's 2 years. That is how bad he has been
Not so sure you are right about that. The fact that Tubby didn't get us to FF's means we were slipping because other programs were going and winning. Cal initially revived the program but then things did go south.
I hope we hear some news today! Committed to UK please, starts class Monday. Let’s do it Cal, pay the man his money.
Are you sure they're not convincing you, too?
This is 2023 not 1973. Things have changed. I am a New York Yankee fan. They used to dominate Major League Baseball. Now they are still one of the best teams in MLB but they haven't won a championship in a long time.
We no longer have the Cal that was here from 09-15, that guy left the second the lifetime deal was signed. We have a completely different guy in charge now. I mean, you see that, right? Nobody is debating that from 09-15, Cal was incredible, that version of Cal would never lose like he has been losing and that version of Cal would never run and hide from the media and fans like this guy is.
WTF? Who gives a shit about what Tubby did or didn’t do?
I'll say this, Tubby never missed the tournament, he never had a 9-16 type season, he never lost to Evansville and Richmond type teams at home, he never played favorites, he never let the all time wins lead slip he never prioritized the NBA over UK, he never celebrated individual goals and accomplishments and he never shit on the fans or UK the way Cal has.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Uh, no, you just made yourself look like an idiot by jumping into a conversation with a response that had nothing to do with what we were talking about. Nice job Ryan Lemond.
Tubby never missed the tournament, Tubby never list to Evansville type teams at home, Tubby never went 9-16, Tubby never lost the all time wins lead and Tubby never prioritized the NBA over the university.
Nobody expected Cal to sustain his 09-15 run, but this run he is on now, is far worse than anything Tubby and BCG did. There is no justifying 9-16, that can’t be looked over.
The yankees are a joke. Highest payroll in baseball every year and every year, they get ousted early.
Came here to read news about Mitchell…..
End up reading a 5 page thread half of which is arguing Cal, Billy G & Tubby comparisons.
Par for the course these days. Sadly.
On topic—I really think Mitchell would be a huge get. I’m certain WVU hopes assigning Eilert the interim role will be helpful in keeping some players. Appears the Mitchell train may have already left the station (hopefully). But, as we have all experienced this off season, you never know with NIL & transfers.

If we can get Mitchell, this offeaseon will have been salvaged enough to make me excited for a postseason run this coming season.
Some Tristan guy on Twitter rod sayin WVA hopes the eilert hire can get mitchell back to WVA and a return is still on the table, but he still thinks it’s kentukcy
I hope our insiders didn’t cuck us and get us all excited again to be let down by the portal once again
Smokescreen.He's a cat.
