Knecht or Sheppard?

Wagner playing 37 minutes and putting up a goose egg was a reminder to me of how Cal will simply continue to play guys too long, despite their lack of production.

That, and still not teaching how to play against a zone.... Arky fans are gonna love that.

The SEC could very well wind up the top conference in college hoops this year.

I wonder if Aidoo is having second thoughts on leaving UT. I'm glad he is gone, cause I totally blame him for the Purdue loss. Enjoy your 10 minutes off the bench at Arky Aidoo.

The SEC is absolutely stacked. You better protect your house this year, because road wins are going to be scarce.

As far as Arkansas, I think this is the year when the national media will start to see what's going on with Cal. He’s changed. He refuses to listen to anyone, he refuses to adapt, his priorities are wrong, he's frustrated and he's just gotten really weird. Something is going on with him. He is not the same guy he once was.

This Arkansas team has the pieces, but they are not deep enough and Cal's lost his fast ball, his changeup, his curve and his slider. He’s trying to toss underhand lobs now and this is the wrong season to do that. This could end catastrophically for them.

The SEC is really strong. There won't be many "off night" wins.

I'm not sure what he was thinking he was going to gain by playing for Cal. If you're not a young 5* high school phenom, you have to do something to impress NBA scouts. Cal doesn’t waive a magical wand, all he's doing is acting as a middle man.

He didn't get Anthony Davis, John Wall, DeArron Fox, Jamal Murray, Malik Monk, Julius Randle and KAT drafted, all those guys were going pro regardlesss.

UK put those guys on a stage, Cal just shined a brighter bulb on them.

Very rarely do lower talented guys end up in the pros from anything Cal taught them, but kids like Aidoo, Ado, Johnel Davis, Mitchell etc… fall for the Cal hype train every year.

For every 1 kid he MIGHT have helped, 2 kids hurt their stock. Look at the Harrison twins, BJ Boston, Edwards last year. He forced them to play his archaic system and they got exposed. Same thing is going to happen to Aidoo.

The NBA is all about great outside shooting, even if you're a center, you better be able to shoot. Well, if you want to show how great of a shooter you are and you're a front court guy, don't go play for Cal, he wants you in the paint.

Must have been NIL money.

I hope for his sake it is enough for him and his posse to retire on.
