Spcfan, I read that on Rupps Rafters last night. Kaintucky fanatics are wishing for last stop Rick Pitino, Beard, Hurley Oats etc. The usual top suspects. Longshot would be Holloway. I hate to see Cal leave because Kaintucky actually may hire a good coach. My guess, Pitino. I hope IU fires Woody next year and Holloway goes there. Go UConn!
Btw, great reading on Rupps.

What's funny is reading the Arkansas board. They're not sure Cal is an upgrade, lol. If he does go there, I give Kaintucky props because they slickered Arkansas. Save 35 million and open a phone book to get a better coach.
Here's the question for you folks, Would Hurley go? If so, would Holloway go to UConn? I think Sha stays at SHU for 2 years, then leaves. I still think RP takes UK.

The thing about Sha is he is one of the most loyal coaches out there. Seton Hall is his alma mater and had always been his dream job, and all of his roots and connections are based out of the NY/NJ area. I remember he was asked after our run if he would have left SPU for any school other than Seton Hall and he said no. Maybe I'm naive but I believe him. I know everyone has a price, I just don't see him leaving the Hall unless he gets really frustrated with the NIL/State of College Athletics.
Regarding Hurley I am hoping one day he gets tired of making millions and winning national titles and comes home to Jersey City 😁

Youngalum, since I've been here, I agree with you about SHA. However, if he continues to have an upward path with SHU, it's only gonna be a matter of time before a real big deal program knocks on his door.
As to Hurley, I'm listening to KSR (Kaintucky Sports Radio) now and they are GIDDY. They talked to an Arkansas radio guy and he was happy about Cal going to Arkansas, BECAUSE, Cal asked for an additional 5 million in NIL. The Tyson farm guy came through. So, NIL will be the death of mid majors and perhaps some P5 schools. But, the Arkansas guy said no chance Hurley leaves UConn. Hurley is the number 1 guy UK is after. Which pisses me off if they are contacting him preparing for PurWho! LOL, just now the KSR radio guy said, Cal's demise started with the St Peter's loss. LMAO.

Nate Oats give him 10 millionToday at 11:17 AM
#2
Rather they offer Hurley or Wright $10M. But I could live with Oats.
Lifted from Rupp's. That's how delusional they are. Oats has already said, drop dead.

My first thought was Oates but given uk resources u wonder if highly paid guys would come eg lloyd at Arizona or drew from Baylor. Would Altman come from Oregon if he doesn’t like new set up. Holloway is something like mark few. Could they leave? Sure. Tens of millions say so but both love their current lifestyles and geographic situations even though I guess uk offers a better chance at the ring than either school. Hurley will tell them u can’t afford me!!!! Again with Danny its location and lifestyle. He’s always been something of a homebody and if he wins tonight he’s a legend. What’s uk going to tell - come here and u can win a championship? He would pee his pants laughing.

Figgy, you're probably right. Difference between Few and Sha Few is in an easy conference. Few couldn't cut it in P5.
Outside with a cooler of beer waiting on totality of the eclipse.

Coach Cal took the job with the Arkansas Razorbacks. However, there is more to the story. The CEO of Tyson's Chicken is a major booster to the Razorbacks. Bleacher Report reported that Cal has an assurance that he will have a minimum of 5 million dollars exclusively for NIL. Not only that but Jerry Jones is an Arkansas Alum. The team plays their games at Bud Walton Arena. The Walton family are the richest family in America due to their ownership of Walmart. Arkansas is about to go from 0 to 100 in 5 seconds and will be the most talked about and most covered team for 24-25.
How can teams in the Big East, Atlantic 10, and MAAC expect to compete? Must be nice to have the CEO of Tyson Chicken, Jerry Jones and Walmart in your corner with MILLIONS of dollars.
The NIL needs regulation and common sense rules before we get squeezed out. Go Peacocks Forever!

Bluebird, well said. Cal Bankman Freed strikes again. Kinda reminds me of Harold Hill in the Music Man. Slicker than Rick. Think about it, Cal Bankman Freed put 2 programs on probation after he left. Hopefully, Kaintucky is next. I love it. Let Arkansas have an albatross. GO UCONN!!!!

Last thing Bluebird. You forget, Cal Bankman Freed has ZERO chance of winning because he doesn't know an O From an X. Con man.

Heeheehee. Congrats UCONN. Actually, to see PurWho lose in the final game is more gratifying. Heehee. Porkchop absolutely has no clue on coaching. Herman had 37. The guards had to shoot more. I love it. Gonna pay my 9.99 tomorrow to join the PurWho board and post 1 thing and be booted. Money well spent.
If Hurley goes to UK he's a card carrying moron

Go Peacocks Forever! Bluebird, what's funny about your first sentence, is true, BUT, listening to KY radio Cal HASN'T even informed the AD that he is/was meeting with other schools. That's what is amazing and baffling the UK fanatics. He doesn't have an agent and is in violation of his contract. I'm telling you, he's doing it on purpose and vengeful. I love it! |
