    Big question is will he POACH off our team and recruit Kentucky players to Arkansas or start over fresh?
    We saw a lot of competitive teams and players in the tournament. I think we’ll have the opportunity to do fine. Just with a different mindset.

      There's a lot of different things we all want to see, but old school me would like to see more of playing for Kentucky and less for the NBA draft.

          I'm with you. Right coach will go out and get what he needs to fit a system..

            Nobody in college used the NBA like Cal did, so we won’t have to worry about this IMO.

            But will we have one and dones under whoever the coach is? Yes.

              Unless he’s a very poor recruiter. Cal helped build today’s college game and the cream of the crop aren’t going back to hanging around college just for some NIL dollars. I sure hope we continue to get SOME one and dones.

                Good point because I am getting it in my head right now the days of landing 3 or 4 in the top 20 are over, nobody recruits like Calipari which is why we ran Tubby out of town, pick your poison..

                I am hopeful we get a Coach who will recruit the top players that actually fill a team need.

                  Something to think about. I think Baylor has a nice class signed as well. If Drew comes to UK, it would stand to reason some of them may follow him to Kentucky.

                    Still some good players left in the portal. Probably need to get a coach hired ASAP and get to work...

                      It's in the works. Joe Craft's plane has landed in Texas.

                        Hope so. I feel like we need to have boots on the ground in the portal looking at players that may want to play here...

                            According to 247 sports Baylor has the 9th ranked class overall as of now.

                              Somto Cyril asks for release.

                              As expected, it looks like he’ll take the recruiting class with him. Hope to keep Perry.

                                Part of the deal and undoubtedly part of his pitch to Tyson Foods, I mean Arkansas Athletics.
