Be a nut drag to do the press conf before Ark can do theirs.
Drew: “I’m here because I can COACH with the best of the best.
The three most important keys to winning?
1. Being able to coach.
2. Being able to coach.
And I hate to tell you…3. Being able to coach.”
Cal's legacy since 2015: Jimmies and Joes <<<<< Xs and Os
RJ Corman's ghost gonna have to haunt a mfer? That's what the Nicholasville hanger is for.
Bunch of plane watching weirdos lol, don’t you think they could just zoom if they wanted and no one would be the wiser?
Its a hobby of mine. I track sports teams, musicians, etc. I just like seeing the logistics of it all, fascinates me for some reason. I also track when crashes happen to see if I can figure out the moment everything went wrong and what their options for landing were.
Cal saying he wish he’d taken the ucla job in 2019 means we all feel the same way.
Not if the wife doesn’t want to move and you want her to see the place she is saying no to before you walk away from a different life forever!
Hell I’m building a 1/2 mile away from my current residence and convincing my wife has been rough.
Drew is all in, but it’s his wife that will need convincing.
Drew is Mitch number one target and boosters are behind it and will support it, but taking a wild swing at Hurley just in case they connect on a high fastball. Not that this is groundbreaking news.
Circling back to Monday and Tuesday. What took place with Cal getting cold feet was byproduct of what essentially was what one could consider a coup attempt of MB and circumnavigating around him and potentially forcing a departure of MB afterwards, via Dwayne Peavy. Peavy was involved.
Other side note is that Cal was taken aback that recruits and potentially players of not following him to Arky. Players are none too happy.

I feel like we have had enough smoke blown up our collective asses by Cal that we can't see another good coach having the same success here. The tradition, the prestige, the passion of the BBN ***combined*** with Coach Cal's gift of gab and record of success with getting players to the NBA is what got all those 5-star players to come our way. Cal ultimately failed because actually learning to play defense and work with other teammates was essentially left as independent study rather than hands-on instruction from Cal.
Drew has 3 5-star freshmen in his incoming class for next year, and he was able to do that at a school that aside from Drew has no winning tradition, no history of greatness, and no rabid fanbase. So he has to have the salesman part down to get 5-stars to come to a barren wasteland like Waco.
And, most importantly, he will actually coach these kids in practice and in-game to make them better. Take what he was doing at Baylor, combine it with what Kentucky brings to the table, and success is virtually guaranteed, and even greater success than Cal had is more likely than not.

I’m teasing, I made a point the other day what a waste of life that is to me, yet acknowledging I do plenty of things people would consider a waste of time. I won’t do it but I’ll let you all fill me in lol.
I don’t know what the hell is going on.
Always good to get a job where you don't have to "go out and do it anymore."
Nobody knows a gd thing other than Mitch and prob a few of the $$ people.
"All those rich boosters didn't genuflect while throwing NIL money at me at Kentucky, so glad the chicken barons and the mega-big-box store magnates in Arkansas won't allow me to suffer such indignities"
if Mitch walks in with Fred Hoiberg or some ****, I’m going to flip.
He'll finally have the talent to win some games in March. Glad that cleared up quickly. #WPS
Just read The Athletic piece. Cal is full of it. Piece included comments from Barnes and Izzo as well as Boogie, which we knew was coming, but on the surface not too bad. The smear has begun.
Oh, you know why Cal didn’t take the UCLA job? Because they don’t charter to road games, or at least they didn’t in 2019. He was hoping Cronin bolted this year.

I mean this, in all sincerity. GFY, EAD, and DIAF Cal.
You don't get to complain on the way out when you were given the keys to the kingdom, and instead trotted around giving the middle finger to the administration, boosters, and fans.

My favorite part of that quote is all he’s talking about is recruiting, as if that was the holdup this last year - the talent on our team 
. Thank god we’re moving on
. Thank god we’re moving onSeems like all he wants to do is coach ball which is easily his worst skill set.
I don't care who my exes are nailing and I don't care what my ex basketball coach says, either.
I'm actually very excited for Cal. I can't even imagine how great he's going to be when he can take NIL money to go out and recruit some top players.
The best thing Cal has going is a clean slate.
An AD he doesn't hate, a fanbase that isn't tired of his lines, and a group of boosters that he hasn't pissed off yet.
He can concentrate on coaching without being vindictive or trying to prove something.

Seconded.
Thought he might have an outside shot at Vandy. But he's gonna make someone very happy soon.
One thing i've learned. UK's media is a dumpster fire. The absolute worst in the country. Everything they say, its the opposite.
It's time for Mitch to step it up. Do what must be done to future proof this program.
“Concentrate on coaching…”
I assume for Cal this involves him squinting a lot and having his head cocked to the side like an intrigued dog as he watches “coaching”.

PTI(pti) convincing himself that NIL is irrelevant to today's success; which is luring/keeping top players & COACHES is hilarious. He averages a post/text a day flaunting his weird little hot take.
Funnier yet, he keeps using Hurley/UConn as his "gotcha" tag. Hey dipshit, here is UConn's 22/23 NIL Summary & National Rank:
You do realize they had the best Transfer, Best Freshman prospect, and and best returning Big not named Edey in the nation, right? Good thing they didn't need NIL!!!!
Cal sucking *** is irrelevant.

NIL is important but coaching rules all. Cal had 7 guys that will most likely play in the NBA. 3-4 for sure draft picks. Plus, one of the top transfers.
That guy compiling talent isn't the issue. He had a top 2 talent team this season.

I don't think the NIL numbers these guys are hoping to earn has really come to fruition yet. Per On3, the top NIL earner last year was Bronny James, followed by a dude who has 1 arm.
My commentary had nothing to do with Cal. It's a skill many of you are gonna have to really work hard at, but it's possible to talk hoops without looping in John Calipari. Promise
PTI(pti) literally mocks any mention of NIL, and is convinced it's "not really much money like ya'll think". K

NIL transfer numbers are easy to find, and it's becoming more transparent by the day. Ballo is commanding 800+, for example.
Edwards at Louisville just got 750. That's pretty significant to me.
