Maybe PJ can be the Hog’s Free Throw Coach while he’s at it
See… there’s gonna be a clear delineation between the Cal players that show their *** like PJ is doing and those that are respectful to the ones that supported them in college and as pros.
And it’s the players choice to show their ***. Nobody is forcing them to. And they don’t have to. But once they make that choice, they will have to realize the consequences. The cheers won’t be as loud. The support online might not be as strong. All Star votes might not come in as fast as they want. Hall of Fame won’t come calling. Might not get asked to return.
But that’s on them. Still love PJ. Hope he thought about the consequences though.

I thought the TBT guys handled it really well while back in Lex, especially WCS. Pretty good examples for the others to follow. These guys aren’t going be hurting for money, but play it right and Lexington will always be a $ opportunity. No body in Arkansas is going line up for an autograph from PJ or care about him in a day, a few might even be saying who is that guy?
I get that you are upset, but trust me pj is an NBA basketball player he gets folks begging for autographs everywhere he goes, man. To act like these dudes that have significant roles in the nba somehow have no fans outside of Kentucky is strange behavior.
I’m not upset, nor did I say anything like you posted, man.
"No body in Arkansas is going line up for an autograph from PJ or care about him in a day"
Ok.
Well you said I was upset, I’m not and I am looking at it as recognition in Kentucky vs Arkansas, not just in general like you mentioned. You really think Arkansas fans are going crazy that PJ is in town? You think hed get a long line of people wanting an autograph in Fayetteville vs being at some place in Lexington? Maybe he’s a household name and I don’t realize it.
Ulis is trying to make a living. Trying to climb up the coaching tree from the bottom. I'm sure he thinks, probably rightfully so, that he has to sell the Ark-product.
Right. Cal will be 66 before the next NCAA tournament. He’s been running out of steam the past few seasons. Arkansas has the shell of the coach he once was and this won’t last long.
This is a perfect example of why PJ left no hardware behind in the trophy case.
Nothing but a U of Cal mercenary playing for nobody but himself.
Cal knows exactly what he's doing with this BS. Piss off Cal. Piss off PeeJ.
Exactly. The TBT gave everyone a template. “I’m UK for life but I love Cal.” That’s all you gotta say. And you’re minted for life with UK fans across the world.
Who cares? You don’t see Darius Miller doing stuff like this. You know… a guy who came to UK for the right reasons, and actually won something here. PJ’s biggest claims to fame were bricking a million FT’s and knocking up some psycho instagram strumpet. It’s not like he’s a UK legend. Just another flyby Cal underachiever. He might as well be Khalil Whitney to me.
True… but lying and being unauthentic is not the way to go about it in my opinion. Go ahead tell a recruit Arkansas was the home of Corey Beck and hear the crickets in the living room.
The nba is a global brand. PJ started for an nba team that just played in the finals... folks outside of kentucky (including people in Arkansas) , in fact know who he is & like his game.
Cooper Flagg plays for Duke, if the kid stepped foot in the Fayette Mall (or whatever it's called these days) he'd be swarmed by people begging for autographs INCLUDING kentucky fans.
Lol. Yea I doubt 16 year old players know who Beck is, but id imagine you'd get a different response if you mentioned a player who has played in the past quarter century... Anthony Black (Magic), or Nick Smith Jr (Hornets) likely get a reaction I'd assume.
Funny thing… Arkansas fans don’t know who PJ Washington is and probably don’t care.
Cal has been banished to Fayetteville, which is fantastic!
Long way from the days of being recruited by Cleveland, Sacramento, Los Angeles, New Jersey, UCLA, etc.

I'm thinking it be more like "oooooh I can sign a multi-million dollar contract", but sure.
Not sure what he is selling but does everything have a price? Ulis already had the cred along with un-matchable tenacity. He had the package without selling.... Out... Courage... many lack it.. That is what costs them... Trust yourself, if you are trust-worthy...
A crying shame...
Teen girl #1 : "Girrrrrrl did you see that dress Mary Beth had on at the Prom last night?? "
Teen Girl #2: "Yassssss it was 2 size too small shes a mess I can't believe she wore that. "
I remember the good ole days when a GROWN MAN had no concern over the WARDROBE of another MAN.

This. There is a reason that smile looks so genuine…. Almost as if they joked about how this would be received right before.
Cal loves his little digs and petty moments. He’s done it towards the fanbase while he was here. He’s done it towards other coaches while he was here. He’s done it towards local and national media at every stop he’s been at…including already chastising the Arkansas media.
He averaged 13 and 7 on 35% shooting from 3.
Who else is offering Tyler Ulis, the player you liked so much, a better opportunity than Cal? I don’t see any other coaches offering him a position. Shouldn’t you be happy for him? All he is trying to do is better himself and the team he coaches. He would say that regardless of where he was and it is just marketing talk.
Then don’t wear either and stay neutral like anyone with a brain would do.
He might get NBA fan’s request but he will definitely lose some of the UK fan base.
Yea I bet he's sitting in his Lamborghini in tears right now about it. I know I would if I lost a few "fans" cuz I wore a shirt with a pig on it.
Wait till they find out our players don't actually hate louisville players. Heads might explode.
Calipari ran a circus. When he packed up and left, the circus went with him
