NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

And saban telling you it’s that much of a shut show is saying something

I’d never want to be a college coach now

Awful gig

Why you’re seeing more college guys taking nfl gigs

Like the bc coach

Horrible example because Saban was on the back end and the rules of the game changed. Most people on the back end aren’t going to be into reinventing themselves just to end up retiring soon anyway.

Astros pitcher Blanco threw another 5 2/3 innings of hitless ball before finally giving up a hit this season.

That is wild

What a start

Wow, I wonder if the 2 no hitters in a row thing will ever happen again (happened once, Johnny Vander Meer 1938)

Probably not

[The Q]

That would be wild

I’m curious who Kentucky would get to replace him

Or how ark is gonna pay him a comparable amount

 

[bksballer89]

It’s happening it seems

 

[thunderc]

Overrated, but Arkansas is hungry to be relevant. I know a bunch of their fans, closest thing to A&M fans out there.

 

[bksballer89]

Yea it’s happening. Just got alert on my ESPN app

I love that he's staying in conference. That first game back is must see

Calipari was a big deal for awhile.

Not getting the top recruiting class anymore like he used to.

Do you mean like top top?

In the last 6 years he's had 3 2s and 2 1s

1 time he got a 6

This class is 2nd

Yes.

He used to be able to have top 5 teams year in year out with almost exclusively 1 and done players.

Kentucky hasn’t been that in awhile.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Well

I think that's a two fold issue

The player he targets

But moreso how he develops them.

This class was pretty special on paper

3 of the top 6

Bradshaw barely played

Wagner may have actually gotten worse

And Edwards was not developed at all


Dillingham and Shepard ended up being the best of the class. Which he's shown he can have some success with guards

But it's like unless they're KAT Cousins or AD he can't figure out big men.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

And KAT was laughably underutilized.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Skal Labissieree is exhibit A to me

Calipari to Arkansas and that could be a downgrade. Eric Musselman did a good job there before bolting for Los Angeles and USC.

Relevant?

Eric Musselman took Arkansas to 3 NCAA berths and 2 Elite 8's in 5 seasons. That's pretty damn good.

 

[DJ]

A little surprised Cal left. His buyout would have been over 30 mill next season if fired.
