Speculation in Media: Cal to Nets
- Thread starter Willcampbell
- Start date
He should have gone when Lebron james became a cavalier, with the recruting class he will have next year, I think he stays.
He is a top-flight recruiter, but you have to ask yourself: you give K that talent, how many ships does he have? I say at least 3
I'd have to somewhat disagree. Not all of Cal's players would have fit the Duke mold. K gets players that can be coached his way. His results with Cal's kids may not have been so different.
Speculation, of course.
Roy too. Callin' BS on this one. What NBA team would want Roy anyway? Lulz...

After not taking the Bulls, Pelicans, or Cavs job where he would have coached 2 of his best former players or Lebron, I cannot possibly forsee him going to the toilet bowl they have in New Jersey right now.
Well, it used to be Coach K every year, but it's clear he's finishing up at Duke. Now it's Cal. I'm sure Cal is using this to get UK to sweeten the pot...can't blame him. And, of course, if someone ante ups a ridiculous figure (and complete control over the team) he just might bite.

Born in Jersey and live half-time in NY, so I could take offense, but I won't.Eh. It's all the same

Cal is a great recruiter, maybe the best in the world of all time. How will that relate to coaching a team of basketball players that he didn't recruit.
I think Cal is happy where he's at....can't say I blame him. He has a pretty good gig.
Back in 2004 I think K did seriously look at Lakers, despite what some opposing fans might lead you to believe. But in the end, in his heart of hearts, he knew Duke was where he should be. With Cal I think it's the same way. What better job is out there?

And one more thing....guys like K, Cal and Roy have money. But they also have brands. Aside from whether or not you like one of them, all three work very hard. Sure, the Duke, UNC, and UK brands are easier to sell, but those guys are also a part of said brands and even the face of them.
Cal's exit to the NBA usually means an NCAA Investigation is coming....about time! Once a crook always a crook.
I still would not call him the best recruiter of all time, its not hard to sell what they allow at UK. Play 1 year, a very minimal class prerequisite, if any and bolt to the League. Thats not hard to sale to an 18 year old that only wants to play in the league. UK and all the fans have bought into his program and education does not interfere with there dreams.He has commented on his players majoring in NBA, nothing else.
If you're going to bash an educational system, please, at least use the proper form of "their".
Apparently you did not attend an educational system or your comprehension lacks greatly. I did not bash UKs educational system I merely shared my opinion on how Calipari sales his program to 17 and 18 yr old kids that are OADs.
