Which is, honestly, what we needed on this past team.

The inability to just body guys was a huge deal for this past Kentucky team. So massive you can't understate it. Having just one bruiser may have made all the difference for us, even if that guy couldn't ostensibly "play."

But also: with the way Calipari coaches at this point you can have talent coming out the ears--which we did--and it won't matter either. So the freshmen class could be colossal and at this point we've got a coach (and a coaching staff, possibly) who'll misuse them. The preparation, the planning, and what's happening during games on an in-game adjustment level is huge right now for Kentucky (duh).

We didn't have the roster makeup to really be a "Final Four team" this past year because we were a donut. But if Alabama and Duke can do it, we could've. It's our coaching that's holding us back more than anything.

Your post on some sites would have the pitchforks out and the “you’re not a fan crowd” telling you to go find another team😊 I have posted on other sites that I am a UK fan but not a Cal fan and was told I wasn’t a fan🤷‍♂️ Some weird opinions out there.

In an effort to boost the team's average age, I'll walk on next season.
If Matt Dillon and Lighthouse will agree to join me, we'll have the average age so high that the starters will be getting AARP mailings.

I'm in.

You might be a bigger UK fan, if you're not a Cal fan.

I'm probably right up there with you guys and I'd be glad to help out!

I think for the same reason people are so defensive about politicians. Some of those guys could do literally anything and their fans would defend them. Anything.

Run of the mill celebrity worship.

I stopped drinking the Cal kool-aid after 2019. Nothing's gonna make me take another sip

no final four in their history, despite being in the tournament 25 times.

We experienced the best outcome today, friends.

That makes things a little better!

Amen! Those two results were great. Especially seeing Duke have their own Seattle 1984 second half. Until the last few minutes they couldn't throw it in the ocean from the ocean.
