From @UKCoachCalipari: I want to address this with the Big Blue Nation one last time, I will be coaching at Kentucky next year. Now let’s finish what we started! Honestly, I never thought he would be that direct.
The Kiss of Death
Yahoo has a story that John Calipari is “intrigued” by the Chicago Bulls job and would listen to a pitch. Sure, Calipari is going to be rumored to be tied to any high profile openings in the college or NBA. But what makes this worse is the mention in the article that Calipari hasn’t meshed [...]
Oh no, John Calipari talked with an unsigned recruit!
Before I go any further, I’m not trying to clear John Calipari’s name. No one will ever do that. The country, for the most part, has made up their mind. They see what they think to be the facts and jump to one conclusion or another. Steve Kelley did this as well. I just hope [...]
Enes Kanter Dominates
The Nike Hoops Summit was last night and future Kentucky Wildcat Enes Kanter was the star of the show. Kanter scored 34 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. The 34 points broke the former record of 33 held by Dirk Nowitzki. This guy might end up being pretty good. Plus, his name is Enes. On to [...]
Links
Here are some articles to pass the time until the tournament starts at noon. Larry Vaught asks if Orton is thinking about going pro. Mike DeCourcy and Chris Dortch offer their views on the Cats. Mark Story brings up 2 areas of concern. Warning: Jerry Tipton link follows. Patrick Patterson is playing it safe. Calipari [...]
Haters gonna hate
The criticism is never going away. The internet is fulll of anonymous posters sharing their views on Kentucky. If 32-2 doesn’t stop them, nothing will. They’ll just point out it’s not 34-0. They’ll point out how close the wins have been. Nevermind that the only teams fans that can say anything are Kansas fans since [...]
John Wall wants to stay?
A few weeks ago, there was speculation that John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins wanted to come back for another year. Even more recently, John Calipari said on the Dan Patrick Show that Wall wants to come back. Calipari says they’ll have to talk about it. I’m sure Calipari will tell Wall that he’s ready to [...]
John Wall named SEC Player of the Year
John Wall won SEC Player of the Year while DeMarcus Cousins was named Freshman of the Year. The All-SEC first team consisted of John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, and Patrick Patterson. John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Eric Bledsoe were named to the SEC All-Freshman Team. Somehow, Kevin Stallings won Coach of the Year. I’m not quite [...]
Bobby Knight Timeline
Recently, Bobby Knight said John Calipari lacked integrity. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. But this is exactly what Gregg Doyel was talking about in his article from yesterday. Doyel wants Kentucky to go undefeated because it would make people mad. So far, Kentucky is undefeated. So far, people are taking shots at Kentucky. Here’s [...]
