KSR Show Thread, 4/11: Matt Jones has a lot to say on his first day back

by: Drew Franklin04/11/22DrewFranklinKSR

Today is one of those shows when KSR needs more than two hours to get to every topic in Matt’s little black book. He’s back from a week away with plenty to get off his mind, including more on his Calipari thoughts he tweeted from vacation last week.

What has become clear is that while Calipari still does a great job with top 20 talent, he is better off getting transfer portal players than guys ranked 20-50. Those dudes almost never work here as Frosh and don’t stay after

Top 20 guys and older transfers are best for Cal

I still will never understand why Bryce Hopkins had his breakout game against LSU and then Calipari says “I have to play him more now.”

He then plays a combined 7 minutes in the final 6 games of the year…6 games where Kentucky never really looked good again

Calipari is a great dude and a terrific coach. Fans want to love him. But the reality is that he has made that difficult the last two years

He can fix that if he wants. But he has to make changes and show it’s a priority to win them over. It is up to him to want to do it

Ryan Lemond is with Matt in Louisville for today’s show.
