Another special announcement coming Wednesday

[Lighthouse]

Really???

I almost never go into a season EXPECTING a Championship. I think expecting is the wrong word. That's just too definitive. In 2012 and 2015 I got my hopes to maximum peak and we won one out of two. The other 5 Calipari seasons I have not expected a Championship. Call me crazy. I am always very hopeful but also realistic.

That might be you, but I don't know of a single Kentucky Fan who has been around as long as I have, who doesn't expect a Kentucky win every game, and a NC every year. That's just the way it's supposed to be with us.

I kinda want to think of the exceptions now, just for fun.

Ricky Ledo? Renardo Sydney? Would you count Beasley or not, since we didn't see much of his weirdness until he went pro? Probably should throw the Morris twins in there, and if we're being honest, Cousins, too.

When I read Westtncat's post, just above yours, I was going to say Cousins as well. In my opinion, WCS was somewhat of a headcase also.

[Joneslab]

Cousins definitely.

I wouldn't consider WCS a "headcase" because headcase to me suggests a guy who gets in trouble. Cousins didn't get in trouble but he constantly screamed at Calipari from game one until the end of the year.

WCS was just...different.

I think Liggins had some issues. Like Cousins, Cal was able to get to him in a lot of ways and make him a more well-rounded person. But Deandre was definitely a little rough around the edges.

Cousins was definitely a headcase. Cal's handling of him was brilliant. That is a part of his coaching that I don't think is appreciated enough. Even other coaches (thinking about the 2012 season) would be interviewed about the 1-and-1 and UK/Cal and they would say the same thing, Cal does what they couldn't/wouldn't do - deal with new/revolving players year in and year out.
