This is a very sore spot with me regarding Cal as well. This only furthered my thoughts that he truly didn't care any longer, and that he was simply using UK to further his own agendas and status. It was no longer the University of Kentucky...but the University of Calipari.
I am predicting……….
- Thread starter KYFOSSIL
- Start date
conditioning has a lot to do with injuries, Pope will have his guys in top notch condition
You're back tracking! You did not say 1 year you implied multiple years. You think Pope will do worse at UK than he did at Byu? He had 3 really good teams at Byu with all of their guidelines that make coaching they're pretty tough. Hell his best recruit ever couldn't play right away because he had to go on a 2 year mission.
If you think Pope will have UK as a 9 or 10 seed after year 3 we can make a friendly wager. I will bet you 250 bucks that UK has a higher seed over the next 4 years than a 9 seed. Hell I will sweeten the bet for you and say we have to have a season with a 7 seed or higher.
There was Vanderbilt, Diallo, Wheeler (but word on the street was he quit), and I recall a handful of others, just not their names, that were "injured" beyond repair enough to play towards the end of the season.
Yep, it's my understanding that Cal left conditioning to other people, including the kids themselves. He wasn't in the gym driving them to run sprints until they puked. And the kids he recruited were "athletes" who spent a lot of their time in the gym seeing who could create the fanciest dunk or buckle ankles on drives to the rim.
Your post was not intended to be positive. You were taking a shot at the new coach. Just own it. You’re sad your dude left. It happens.
No more NBA practices for the scouts and general managers.
I predict that the weight room is going to be seeing a lot more activity.
I think the only difference will be that "butt hurt" will not be announced as an injury, unlike the previous regime.
Diallo almost did that in 2017 but pulled out of the draft last second to come back for the 2018 season.
The Sharpe stuff is infurirating though.
Man I’m sorry, but the fact that you’re still doing this is gross. Calipari is just terrible and he was absolutely killing this program. Pope is taking it back and doing things the right way. Just imagine being one of the only people that can’t handle Calipari’s salesman ability. I feel sorry for you man, I really do. I just couldn’t imagine. This is Kentucky and he’s Calipari. It’s gross.
I’ve always thought you might just be trolling and if you are I’m not sure why you havent been banned yet for all the baiting. And it’s not funny, it’s just stupid. And to keep doing it this long for no reason makes you seem really childish. If it’s a troll you should be banned for baiting non stop.
*if you’re trolling, which I think you might be. Nobody could be this hung up on that Guy. Either way, it doesn’t say a lot of good about you. Go back to your corny daily thread in the paddock and make a fool of yourself.cringe doesn’t begin to describe the announcement of daily briefings of your life in a thread that was abandoned and picked up by the cringy group.
HEY D-LEAGUERS!!!! MORNING CHECK IN!!!!
More than the injury bug I want the bad Whistle gone with Cal. Officials and the NCAA despised him. We got the worst whistle of any Blueblood in the country. What Kansas , NC, and Duke gets at home is insane compared to us.
Gonna miss Goooo! and Runnnn! Ellen’s roommate really confused the opposing coach with his strategy. He is, after all, a HOFer!
