I have heard Cal call us “crazy UK fans”, “but in a good way”. I wonder if he sometimes thinks about dropping the last part of our title? “One last time” sounds a little like something I said to my kids to warn them it was time to chill. ;-)

It’s all good then. I’m happy. :)

Now don’t pull a Nick Saban……j/k

Watching ESPN when someone came on with a “Break Announcement” then started off but uttering the following line, “One and done seems to be a popular phrase used in basketball today, and in the case of John Callipari….” this is about where the heart murmur started I think…Then I heard the words “staying” and I think it stopped. Next thing I remember is they were talking about LeBron again.

On a related note: LeBron possibly going to Nets, who will undoubtedly have the #1 in the draft and elect to take John Wall. “King” James and the Great Wall of Kentucky together? Awesome idea or really awesome idea? Discuss…

Sounds pretty definite to me.

It says he’s headed to Cleveland to coach LeBron.
I knew it…. I just knew it!

:)

Breathing a big sigh of relief here….

… just will not get it.

Good to know.

even if this is true, it wont matter….right????

Two reasons:
1. UK really wants to get their hands on Michael Gilchrist, and Knight and Teague to a lesser degree, and he knows they will pay to keep Cal there in order to them (in fact, they’re about to start negotiations as we speak). Also, Cal knows he best chance to win a Championship is when he has Gilchrist, Teague, and Knight playing together (which will happen because of reason #2). If he wins an NCAA championship AND has the option of continuing to coach on of these future superstars in the NBA, the contract they will offer him will be astronomically high.

2. The purposed (and very likely) NBA lockout in 2012. That’s a year Cal won’t make any money and won’t have his name in the paper as much if he’s with the NBA. His best bet is to stick with UK until then when he’ll be offered the most money and have the best opportunity to pick where he goes. If he could end up coaching at the same place as Michael Gilchrist is supposed to go, and bring some other NBA talent in with trades, he could be looking at a shot at the playoffs in his first season. It’s unlikely that Cal could make it to the NBA playoffs in his first season if he does indeed go to the NBA, even if it is Cleveland with LeBron staying, because he’ll ask for so much money that it will be hard to keep some of the talent they already have, and let’s face Cleveland will definitely be doing some major house cleaning in the off season. And the Bulls? Having James and Rose just won’t be enough to get the job done right away.

sorry, it’s espn and the video rankles a bit.

He has the best job in the world, and is smart enough to realize it. He wants to coach about ten more years, and it may not entirely be at UK, but he is not leaving yet. I think he wants another shot at a National Title, and knows that in a couple of years, UK can make a run. We are going to have to listen to these rumors every year, so get used to it. One man’s opinion…

well all the uk haters’ prayers were not answered in this off season so far… lets go down the list
1. uk or calipari commit infractions…NOPE
2. uk not land any top talent for the next year…NOPE
3. and finally calipari leaves uk… BIG FAT NOPE
so to the few uk haters that for some reason vists a sea of blue(you know who you are) better luck next year… the only thing you uk haters predicted that came true was uk didn’t get the title this year…. all in due time… its simple math… calipari + uk = 8
