Most won't like this but UK at 2 is too high, Stoops is holding his end up but Cal gets less out of morr than anyone in the conference, maybe the nation. On paper he should win every game double digit.
Yes, Stoops is elevating the program to a height only seen once before.
Cal . . . .
Oh, Cal!
Problem is there really aren’t a lot of good combos to pick from. At times both Stoops and Cal make me physically disgusted. Worst offensive-minded IQ coaches in the SEC.
UK doesn't have the same talent level it had early in caliparis tenure. This isn't like football where you get to keep your amazing players 3 years and everyone else 4 years. Playing with young and raw teams every season is not a recipe for sustained success as calipari has unfortunately proven at UK.
And UK most certainly should not be expected to "win every game by double digits" even when they have a loaded team. 96 UK didn't do that and had amazing experienced talent and same with 97 and a couple other Pitino teams. 2012 UK didn't and the 2015 team that started 38 and 0 didn't.
I agree as a lifelong UK fan the current state of Kentucky basketball is nothing to brag about. Calipari is a low achiever, probably the worst in the conference based on talent. The Kentucky football coach ranks as one of the best we have had. And we had Bear Bryannt.
But hey next year our basketball Cats are bringing in this #1 recruiting class. Rinse and repeat.
Its not that we "won't like this", ... it's that many are starting to realize it...
So you are happy with Cal's work? No one in conference has recruited his level, it isn't even close. But if you think he is doing a good job who am I to say he isnt.
