It was not pretty. Kentucky in Rupp is tough. Those guys are good. Davis is a beast.
How is Calipari going to continue if he keeps recruiting these One and Done's? Doesn't he have to graduate players eventually or lose scholarships also?
Look, we knew it would be a fluke/miracle to win that game. Our guys were overwhelmed. But Mike is doing a good job. I love the way our program is going. Next year it is at our place.. We will be back to Rupp in two years. It will be a different game then.
Again – anyone know the real repercussions of one & done's?
Excellent question. We need bigs! Abron really looked slow and unmotivated against Kentucky. We have a way to go, but I believe we'll get there with Coach Anderson. WPS!!!!
We do have a very young team and I am sure the freshman and sophomores were caught up in the Kentucky hysteria. I too like Mike A's approach. I love to see the effort the boys put forth and it looks like they are enjoying playing bball. Curious what the players think about the difference in coaching styles. As a fan, I love it and I am willing to place trust in M.A. With Phel and Heath, I always hoped it would get better but now I believe it will get better.
I live up here in the heart of Bluegrass country…Kentucky Blue is worn everywhere I go. Last night was ugly but expected. My relatives here will give me a lot of grief but like tomahog, I believe in Mike. Did you see the in-game interview with him last night? ( I hate those btw – very awkward). MA was totally calm and in control….very nice to see after our last two overwhelmed and overmatched head coaches. I think we will get this thing turned around sooner rather than later.
The game was pretty much as expected, but I just want to say how good it is for Arkansas that Kentucky is back to prominence. It really helps Arkansas and the rest of the SEC raise the level of their game. I just wish we played them twice a year.
I think the one and dones will catch up with Kentucky at some point. But that won't keep them from getting talent year in and year out. Calipari programs are known as NBA training factories so he'll get high quality talent as long as he's there.
Arkansas doesn't look that far away to me. Give us one big body and a mid range jump shooter and we can be competitive.
Also, despite Mickleson's clumsyness, you can tell he has skills but is overwhelmed and intimidated on the offensive end. He's going to be a star in a year or two.
I like how we played…we didn't cave in and the kids played hard. Difficult to complain about the effort.
Kids leaving early for the NBA doesn't count against the school's APR, otherwise the NCAA wouldn't allow them to leave early.
Top recruits go to a school like Kentucky and commit themselves to a coach like Calipari for one reason, to develope into a millionair as soon as possible, whether that be in 1 year or 2 years or 3.
I garantee you that's the plan for Archie Goodwin.
