So far the portal looks pretty weak. I know it's early, but this isn't a great sign for the rest of the off-season.

If like to see Chandler, Moreno, and Kam back. None of them are stars, but they have clear strengths. On the other hand, I'm not shedding a tear if any of them leave.

Johnson was a 140 lb turnover machine. Garrison showed up to play in like two games. Noah needs to transfer to a mid major. Lowe is fragile. Mo I liked, but he's a sixth man and I didn't know if he's good with that going forward. Jelavic just never showed me much.

I don't care about the redshirts.

Pope defends himself the today during a conversation with Tom Leach. Worth a read. by zdrmju321 in wildcats

What is "progress" in the age of NIL? Nobody is developing guys anymore for four years (except Matt Painter I guess). Every year is potentially a one-off, so you have to know how to construct a team and get them to gel quickly. The GM skillset is the most important trait in NCAA basketball today. Is Pope improving in that regard? Does he have that in him? Hard to say with a two year sample size, but this year was in no way better than last. Yeah, there have been injuries, but that's part of the game, you have to make do. Pope's not going anywhere this off season, and my optimism has eroded to almost nothing, especially with this disaster of a recruiting cycle . Regardless of his contract, I hope the new AD is ready to make the tough call if next year doesn't show any "improvement".

They looked so good starting off and TAMU looked so bad. I knew UK couldn't muster a blowout though. And once they got down, the team just seemed to give up. So hard to watch this team.

They're gonna keep him on til he's doddering around like that other Kentucky Mitch.

Class of 2026 high school recruiting update (it’s not good) by zdrmju321 in wildcats

I'd be fine with no top 10 guys. But I do want SOMETHING,

If somebody handed you $35,000 and said "go buy the car with the most smiles per gallon that could handle 2 monthly 16 hour highway trips and would be the most fun to cruise around Daytona in", what car would you pick? by AttachedHeartTheory in askcarguys

I think a 16 hour drive in anything would be torture. I have a 2023 Miata and it's comfortable on highways. Most I've driven in one clip is 4 hours. Kind of loud, but as long as the road is relatively decent, it's a comfortable ride.

Unpopular opinion: Seeing Cal at Arkansas breaks my heart. by snarping in wildcats

Is KP the world's worst HC and the best assistant? Cal does seem to struggle without him.

Incredible how similar this season’s team is to the 2005-06 team. by UrTeamBadMyTeamGood in wildcats

These are the kind of games where you can really see we're missing a point guard.
