All the items YOU mentioned were known before this article. Forde has always been a coward, hack and Louisville homer.

He ripped Cal apart!...

Well- the Memphis recruits helped him win big his first year and instantly get the kentucky name back in the mainstream.

I have no idea who the prior recruited (Gillespie) kids were on their Davis team that won the tournament.

He did indeed ask for this...and he is indeed melting down...although they have some good players...

Louise homer or not, dood just lit Cal up.

I feel sorry for Cal....nehhhh....lol....in the end we may have dodged a bullet. His recruiting strategy was becoming the same @ Memphis.

We would've had a national title favorite the year he left. What bullet did we dodge?

I feel we would have won it that year. That Wall/Cousins team was lacking 1 thing....leaders that already knew his system. Had they been here with guys like Kemp and Mack who knew his system and could be used in practices...we'd have likely won it all IMO.

we had a damn good chance to win it the year cal left. if he had only been focused on coaching the team instead of bolting to kentucky.

104.5 fm - a sports talk shown in Nashville - ripped Calipari today to the extent of unfairness.

and yet his most damning statement
"Q: Did you know that the two Kentucky teams relying solely on your recruits as the major contributors are last year and this year? And that their record is 42-20, 23-11 in the SEC, with an NIT berth and four losses to teams ranked outside the Ken Pomeroy top 100?" speaks VOLUMES.
Would the Memphis fanbase have accepted this from Cal with all of those talented recruits? Heck...they lash out at Coach Pastner every chance they get with much less talent... AND the fact that Pastner's last two teams with ALL of his talent that he recruited is 53-12 27-5 overall.

We would have been on MASSIVE NCAA probation if he had stayed dude.
