Take down all those damn "look at all these guys who went to the NBA!" displays and replace them with true UK legends...for example his teammate and 1996 Final Four MVP Tony Delk! Bottom line, we can finally put KENTUCKY FIRST.
Dang man I feel you please bring that back. Delk is definitely a figure we can’t let go off - at least I think for wildcatters

What you do is BOTH. Those are Kentucky guys too, and our former NBA players have good marketability even though Calipari went way too far and didn’t have to.

We are going to promote our past and traditions under Pope. The family atmosphere is coming back, but this isn’t Iraq during a regime change. You don’t tear down Anthony Davis’ statue lol.

I’m 100% behind rebranding but I want to see the 2012 banner too. And Arkansas is going to do everything in their power to use our players at their program. It makes me sick to my stomach but it’s going to happen. Keep the entire family together.

It’s a shame, Louisville had our players on their practice walls, and now Calipari will do that too but actually inside our conference. Everyone wants to be Kentucky, let’s not let them have it.

They’ll come around. This is the only place they’ll ever have when their careers are over and they’re getting older. Look at what Rex tries to do all the time, even he can’t fully let go of it.

Some of these guys think we basically fired Calipari. Nice time goes by and they realize Calipari doesn’t even call them (he won’t) they’ll want to be here again.

I have one little caveat, Kyle Wiltjer. He transferred, tweeted he made it a choice between UK and Calipari, put up a photoshop with him in a razorback uniform, and we’ve always been supportive of him. Kyle Wiltjer is dead to me completely and everyone that is following him needs to unfollow.
