John Calipari's Streak of Having a Player Selected in First Round Ends

[Helix]

I never loathed him, certainly not to the extent of some of our friends from Rivals.

I liked Cal before he came to Kentucky, loved him at Kentucky for awhile, got burned out, and the vehemently pushed for a change when it was clear that he was finished. I like him well enough now.

I think "loathe" is a bit of a stretch. Even at the very end, I didn't loathe him. Pitied him, more than anything, for being a stubborn fool. And I was exhausted with his stream of bullst.

“Pitied him, more than anything, for being a stubborn fool.” My feelings too. Had been on the cutting edge of the game — then just couldn’t/wouldn’t change play style, hire and keep talented assistants — human nature really. Just couldn’t get past the idea that what had worked in the past wasn’t anymore. Don’t hate the man, but am glad he’s gone and THRILLED with CMP — right man, right job, right time.

I like him a lot better at Arkansas than I did post covid here

I am happier that UK made it out of the 1st round.
