UK fans are really going to mad when he delivers a couple of NCAA championships during that 5 year contract.

College basketball is about to get "younger" after next year when the COVID year expires......No more 5 year, 6 year, and even 7th year players will be in the game.

UK was close this year IMO if not for a no name player taking terrible shots with terrible form hitting 10 threes.

I watched the Purdue/NC State game and was like UK would have beaten either of those teams by double digits.

BTW - I watched Golke in the 3 Point competition and he got last. Jay Williams even commented how awful his form was as he keeps his left hand on top of the ball. Yep, I saw that during live action in the NCAA tournament. LOL.

Cal is gonna keep bringing in new teams every year at Arkansas, and we know what that get's you.... nothing. I'm already prepared for next year being a rebuilding year for us. So what. We did it back in the 80's and things turned out fine. I hope Mitch can find a new version of Pitino to take over (but I don't mean Richard Pitino! )

Here is the thing. Most UK fans are never satisfied. When Tubby was here recruiting guys that stayed ranked between 25 and 75 they wanted a Coach who could recruit the best.

In came Cal......He recruited the best.......and now UK fans want a coach that recruit kids that will stay so now you are back to the 50 to 100 range type of player.

Cal recruited a few of those guys over the years who he thought would be around for a few years: SGA and Reed Sheppard and they both played their way into Lottery/First Round picks in one year.

Guys that did stay a few years still never won anything Harrison Twins, Willie Cauley Stein, Derek Willis, Keion Brooks, Tyler Ulis, Antonio Reeves, Oscar, Toppin, Ware, Collins, Frederick, etc.

Now I do think if not for COVID the Immanuel Quickly, Nick Richards, Ashton Hagans, EJ Montgomery, Nate Sestina, and Tyrese Maxey team would have potentially won it all. That team was "old" with the exception of Maxey.

So it is not like Cal did not go that route.

As Pitino once said.....10 years at UK is about all anyone can take.
