Woulda barely beat bucknell (maybe even lose) say his team wasn't ready so early in the season etc. Guy did less with more while pope will do more with less.. so when these recruits come in (jasper . Acaden etc) just imagine what pope will do. Breath of fresh air. Eom

It's going to get ugly in Fayetteville this season. You've got guys who don't know their role (Davis, Z, Aidoo), and a bunch of other guys (Knox, Richmond, Wagner) who are expecting a lofty role.
Too many redundant pieces.
I like that Pope is not the type of guy to play elite freshmen just because they're there. He's going to make Jasper, Lewis, and Moreno earn their minutes.
Will he even come on post game or send out an assistant since they lost? Serious question.
Even though Pope has Guaranteed Caleb playing time, when Cal would not.
You don’t think Cal guaranteed playing time or even playing a specific position? There’s no hope to even have a conversation with you then.
Were you there with Caleb?
No shooters either!
DJ Wagner - 38 min, 8 points, 0-3 on threes, one assist, the turnovers
I do not miss that.
I do not miss that.
Dj isn't an nba player. I hate to say it but Bronny has more of a bag than Wagner.
They are one Big Z tweaked ankle away from complete collapse.
Small sample size, but two games in the Hogs averaging 63.5ppg and blazing the nets from 3 at a rate of 9/39 for 23%.
I do not miss those same excuses.
Meanwhile we're averaging 101.5 ppg and hitting 24/60 from 3 for a cool 40%.
Cal guarteed playing time to anybody that was a 5 star anybody that had talent and wasn't a 5 star sat the bench.
Surprised to see that Knox is only averaging 10.5 minutes per game.
He sucks. Honestly when he committed to us I was disappointed. Just another non-shooter. Same with Richmond.
Surprised he didn’t trot Kenny out there to explain that Baylor “tricked” them with the zone.
Well Arkansas can't guard point guards very well. Jeremy roach was going by them all night. Especially Mr DJ Wagner whose idea of defense is trying to smack the ball away from you as you go by him.
Aidoo is too slow of a center for calipari.
John neL Davis is not able to hit threes consistently. Matter of fact he can't shoot under pressure.
Boogie fland is like ty ty Washington in that he wants to take 19 ft jumpers.

Remember those on here past and present that told us we had to stay the course with cal because of the way he recruits and nobody else out there can do what cal does even though it's staring them right in the face he was destroying us from within with his inability to coach lineup problems outdated style of play and fighting with the fans thank God we have been delivered and hopefully which I doubt will humble those who did and still do cling on his coat tails deliverence is ours glory and hallelujah
I think more and more fans are starting to realize that CCC is more flash than substance.

Justin Edwards says hello.
So replacing John Welsh with Brad Calipari hasn’t resulted in a more smooth flowing offense for the newly rejuvenated Cal? That’s crazy
I'm deriving far too much enjoyment out of watching Arkansas already embody the typical Calipari-built team. Bunch of "dudes" with tons of talent and athleticism, but little true skill that the current game requires. There's zero thought put into assembling pieces of the team puzzle. Just "this guy looks athletic, I must have him."
I’m starting to believe that Calipari has a weird fascination with guys that LOOK like they can play basketball 
Reality probably starting to sink in for ol’ @piglet mignon
I think Cal will retire when he can't get the 5 star guys anymore. This class will be pivotal for him. If he lands Cenac and Thomas to go with Acuff, he'll be back. If I'm Thomas, I'm tippy toeing toward Arkansas though and postponing my commitment until the Spring. He'd be wise to wait out Wagner and Fland and see what they'll do. Neither of those guys looks pro ready right now.
Obviously we're all hoping he misses on Wilson and the kid goes to UK instead.
Dykes chirping after the game “ Arkansas will learn from this game being so early in the season. They’re a tournament team “ lol, they won’t learn sh*t ..
EVERYONE was disappointed. It was hilarious around here how annoyed the fanbase was that a 5* recruit committed.
Really I think it is Thiero that is the critical link for them. Take away that productivity and they are sunk.
This became every year under Cal.
That's why I started saying that he was just supergluing teams together.
Didn't matter the skill set, just take your definition of the most talented players available, regardless of anything else. Now you've got 3 or 4 seven footers, and you're playing a college 4 at the 3 spot. Oh, and your PG can't shoot.
I was thinking the same thing watching the game last night. These are the kinds of teams that usually gave Cal's teams trouble.
