Was this intentionally done by Cal?

[AzubuikeandFitch]

Could the lack of activity be purposely orchestrated?

What if Cal elected to wait in order to target those players who've chosen to withdraw from the draft process @ the deadline?

KY will have roster spots and opportunities available other programs can't offer. Maybe this will give UK a decisive advantage targeting the last returning portal players.

Thoughts???

 

[UKAlum88]

No.

 

[sk73]

RalphDalton ? mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. Many of the best players may be withdrawing their name from the draft. I am guessing there are a couple of those guys that Cal is targeting.

 

[Cefiro]

You’re giving him way too much credit

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Cal is a genius when it comes to recruiting.
He can adapt to the new rules better than the rest.
This is why the guy makes 10 million a yr.

I don’t even know where to start with this post.

I‘ll just say that Cal is looking at “genius” in the rear view mirror, and it’s almost out of sight.

The deadline for entering the transfer portal has passed. So he can’t target them unless they’ve already entered the portal or already have their degrees.

That doesn’t leave many potential “withdraw” options that I’m aware of.

🤣 at the people who continue to severely overestimate Cal’s intelligence.

It’s get Reeves and Oscar back or scramble to find anyone worth a damn that’s willing to back up a bunch of freshmen that have been promised the world.

 

[bookerfan66]

Good lord.He put all his eggs in Oscar,Hunter and Reeves.Even if a couple of good players become up for grabs what makes you think Cal can land them.

No, he makes that much because the AD at UK is an idiot.

Almost? It’s long gone!!

 

[SemperFiCat]

No. That's giving Cal too much credit. I may have believed it a few years ago, but not now. I think the portal situation was probably a series of bad luck. I'm guessing Cal felt pretty strongly on a couple guys staying and/or a couple transfers he was almost sure he'd get. I think life kinda kicked him in the junk and a few things didn't work out. Don't trust young men who have spent the last few years dreaming about nothing else but all the toys they are about to buy. All about the benjamins, baby.

That would be an extremely boneheaded move by cal.

Yes, what he did was intentional but nothing like you're suggesting. The man is on an all-out assault on the fans and what he perceives as injustices by the fans, the university, the media and the NBA. He is DARING the University of Kentucky to fire him. That's why he made the "still have six years" comment or something like that. Cal KNOWS he isn't liked, and he KNOWS they don't have the funds to fire him with $40 million left. And he has no interest in setting up the next coach for success, else he'd treat his own assistants better. If he flames out yet again and they do pull the plug, he'll smugly pack up and then hit Twitter with every other post mocking the college game and basketball bennies.

I'm willing to just wait and see how this all comes together (or doesn't come together). lol

From his gut instead of Genius did you mean Guinness beer. Those dark beers really put the pounds on you.

No, and tell me who is actually left out there that is all that great. I think most of the good ones are gone.

I wish there was an eye roll emoji on the Like button. This post is ridiculous.

I think Calipari is only pursuing difference-makers. There is no reason to just add bodies. There is time left for grad transfers and portal guys trying to get to the NBA. He pursued Dickinson and Johnson. I'm patient enough to wait and see how it shakes out. So, of course he is doing it on purpose...right or wrong. Plus, there's a possibility Oscar, Antonio and Chris decide to drop the NBA and come back to school.

I was going to say something, then realized it’s all been said over the last eight weeks.

Interesting theory. Thinking about it you just might be on it Hope so

 

[cathouse]

Yes. It is deliberate move by Cal.

Just not for the reason you think it might be.

 

[track42]

Uhh no.

 

[BBNWildcat]

HerrosHeroes is an admitted NON-UK fan and a troll. Stop responding to him.

 

[Jmeeks54thebest]

The only thing I could Cal doing on purpose is leaking that all these guys want out. If Oscar, Reeves, and Livingston all return then I do believe Cal leaked the info they wanted out just so he could get credit for recruiting them to stay. I would also extend that conspiracy theory to the earlier Bradshaw rumors where he ended up flying out to Klutch’s people to save the day, or so we were led to believe.

I do admit I have general mistrust for anyone in political or financial power. Historically these people haven’t had good intentions nor have they been honest.

 

[UKBB4Ever]

Everything Cal does is intentional.

He leaves nothing to chance.

 

[Dncmaxwell]

It’s aliens I tell you. Body snatchers.

The truth is out there…

 

[Lempface]

I wouldn't say intentionally. Cal would surely have liked to have gotten firm answers from the draft hopefuls earlier than, well, last minute. But I think he was less worried about missing out on all his targets because he knew there would he withdrawals and grad xfers to gap fill if we had more departures than expected. I'm still in the camp of wait until the roster finishes taking shape before panicking.

No, his stubbornness cost Kentucky good players now they are in panic and scramble mode

 

[track42]

7 players and they still won't come here.You just have to laugh.

 

[Phil_The_Music]

I don't know man. I bet he'd be great to have on your team for a Little House on the Prairie themed trivia night.

Another day another plop.

One day I will login and there will be good news. I know it Jimmy.

 

[Ukgold]

Any way Cal can F with the fans he's gonna. Maybe he has a plan and everything will be ok. He did tell us as fans we better be careful. No one might not want to vone here. This could be his eay of teaching us a lesson.

I still think he can be made to WANT to leave.

If Cal were deliberately trying to wreck the program he couldn’t do much worse.
