Adou to Arkansas
- Thread starter JwUKFan11
- Start date
I guess he likes the way Cal "used" him. Oh well...
His Dad just wanted attention....and to make Kentucky look as bad as possible. It was NEVER about Cal.
Good Riddance...attention whores
Good Riddance...attention whores
Let his dad argue with the Arkansas fans now
Kinda seems like both were desperate and needed each other.
This one surprises me. I look forward to Otega Oweh and him battling it out next season.
Weird…I thought Kentucky fans showed Adou the love and Cal was the problem. Don’t understand this…
None of this surprises me. They're his puppy dogs
His dad pimped him out to the highest bidder.
There was clearly something else going on here. I don't know if it was a UK problem.. but it sure seems the issues between Cal and Adou (and in general, the rest of the team) have been overblown.
Adou isn't going to Arkansas if he had any problems with Cal. Full stop.
Could the NIL issues have maybe NOT been Cal's fault?
lol, going back to play for the same system his dad constantly complained about
Wasn't thinking he was really going to UK with Coach Pope's offense anyway...
Cal will make him come off the bench, why wouldn’t he go to a school where he would’ve started?
I never would have guessed Thiero and Z would follow CCC. Man, even faced with the cold hard facts of losing minutes to undeserving 5* pet projects, some people just can't get enough snake oil.
Cal better not recruit over him and make sure Mr. Thiero likes the NIL $ or those "back spasms" will re-appear. LOL
Cal can sell ice to an Eskimo.
Could be worse, he could have gone to UNC. At least at Arkansas, he will be used sparingly and not be coached well.
I think he was pissed at the other players because he wasn't going to be allowed to drive to the basket for a missed layup, without consequence. It was Cal who suggested Adou wasn't putting in the effort to get back on the court. And grateful to Cal telling him that he has a one in million chance of getting into the pros and sticking.
CCC is a helluva drug.
He clearly likes Cal enough, and also must have liked the NIL deal he had gotten. I find it odd that UK seemingly had NO chance to get him to come back, despite a great young coach, lots of NIL money, and familiarity.
Wow, this is somewhat of a surprise to me, he never seemed completely happy here and I thought it was because of his playing time and Cal. I guess not, but money has a way of taking away some problems but can create others. I'm not sure he is going to see the floor any more there than he did here with what they have coming in. If he gets a lot of playing time at Arkansas, there will be some highly touted freshman sitting on the bench, oh well, it's not our problem.
Hardly anyone else wanted them and were willing to give them the playing time they were likely asking for, and Pope most likely made it clear that he would be competing for minutes.
But.. then.. that's not an issue with the players, it's an issue with Cal? It's the coach who put tougher expectations on Adou.. so it still makes no sense why he'd follow him, especially because Cal still has quite a bit of talent ahead of Adou (potential talent at least).
Tyson chicken money makes a lot of things go away...
This one is so weird to me. He and his dad were clearly unhappy, he entered the portal before Cal left UK, everyone thought he was headed to UNC or Pitt and now he ends up at Arkansas.
Strange situation.
Strange situation.
kinda glad he didn’t, Adou is a physical player sometimes but he can’t shoot and he’s injury prone
I think Cal tells them what they want to hear, and then recruits right over them if they're missing stars beside their names. And even does it a second or third time if he feels the need to.
The NIL money has to be a factor, because otherwise it doesn't make sense.
But then I wonder, how much of this story was true, that Thiero's camp was unhappy? The only thing I recall was Adou making some sort of underhanded comments about Cal being harder on him during the last few games of the season. And even that, we don't know the full context.
That's the truth.
I don't get it. UNC seems desperate for a big
Thiero could have been a star there
Thiero could have been a star there
And I forgot to add any of the previous commitments to Kentucky that followed Cal to Arkansas. Screw them as well.
