    Thanks, Cal.
    I ain't going to lie, same here. I am actually on a FIRECOACHCAL.COM type of mood this morning, this clown needs to go if he can't make Kentucky basketball dominate again.

    Not 2 3 4 5 years from now, BUT effective immediately, sick of this dude.

    The University of Kentucky Men's basketball team has become the laughing stock in college basketball. No one respects us, no one fears us, every one shows up to play there best game to prove we are nothing but a fraud in today's game.

    The players???? They come in and from day one, the fans the media starts kissing there butt's rolling out the red carpet and that's that, they have already won with a big fat NIL deal. Players have a attitude swag and arrogance that we are supposed to win because of the name on the chest , did someone forget to tell them you have to work hard and make sacrifices to get to the top? Maybe they are working hard, maybe it's the AAU STREETBALL system we play??

    This messed up mentality starts with Calipari. He preaches what needs to be done but Calipari doesn't get respect from the players like he used too, i think the word is out on him. From his mishandling of players like Booker and many others to grumblings from past players about time at Kentucky, pretty evident something ain't right....

    Anyways, that's my little UCONN wins we suck attitude this morning. Just remember, all it takes is $12 for each Kentucky fan to contribute to the University of Kentucky to buy this dude out, $12 a piece, that's it....

      Antonio Reeves will test the NBA Draft but maintain his eligibility.

        Wise move. He will be back, and the staff is working the portal under the assumption that he will.

          I wish Cal would throw a fat sack of cash at LJ Cryer. Add him and return Reeves? You’d have some real shooters.

            Anyone heard the wild rumor that Oscar may actually enter the transfer portal?

            Lots of crazy stuff out there right now...

              Yeah, couple days ago. It’s all pretty frustrating.

                  Crazy. Pure speculation but i assume the RELIGION factor may have worked against him perhaps in the locker room maybe even with the Coach, i don't know. I have my own beliefs and believe in God but Religion and Workplace just don't mix these days. Some will use it as a excuse and to their advantage while others just don't care at all about it...

                  All i know is if Oscar transfers to another D 1 school, it's time to blow it all up and start all over with the Kentucky basketball team. No way a Player of the year ends up elsewhere other than PRO basketball, that's just crazy and speaks Volumes of the KENTUCKY BASKETBALL PROGRAM as a whole and where it's at right now...

                    ^ I think it's possible though we end up better off without Oscar as great as he was.

                    Gave up so much defensively. His first year he was okay until the end but this past year he honestly didn't even try.

                      Great stat sheet stuffer for sure but that didn't always translate to wins. I like Oscar but on his watch the past two years team looked pretty awful at times...

                      I assume Onyenso is out of here as well, just a hunch....

                        I didn't notice the defense too much until the last month of Oscar's first season.

                        I think he was just so otherworldly good he simply masked a lot of defensive problems. This year he wasn't as good, thus the issues on defense stood out more.

                        The last two champions have had aircraft carrier sized centers down low. I don't think you *have* to have size like that to win titles but with the way guys can drive the ball now and as much as teams are hunting for "layups or dunks," it really helps if you have somebody under the basket to clean up defensive lapses out at the top.

                          I tend to think UK needs a rim protector in order to be the type of team that can have a special season.

                          Onyenso was recruited for that purpose but who knows if he’ll stick around long enough to play here.

                            Onyenso enters the portal.

                            This program isn’t for everybody

                              Agreed but my concern is if Oscar's relationship soured with Cal and Onyenso and Oscar being close, just wonder if that plays a role in the decision making. Again, this is assumption in regards to Oscar's relationship with Cal but who knows. If Oscar does transfer to another school, obviously there was a problem there..

                                Well that answers that. I actually want to fly off the handle right about now, this stuff makes me so mad i just want to stop watching Kentucky basketball all together, makes he hate sports all together sometimes.


                                With that being said with a open mind, some say Onyenso's handlers are making the decision for him and pulling him in a different direction but who knows???
