I went to a One Razorback Road Show Wednesday .. Hunter Yurachek & Calipari said we are playing with 9 to 10 players!! He seemed very confident in his decision!! I also witnessed Calipari 1st “public Hog Call” .. we all have 💯 Faith that we are going to be just fine!! I had to zoom out bc I was so close! WPS! ❤️🐗🏀

[@zackschooley5858]

Trust the Cal. WPS! Big pig invasion

[@gump1005]

Keep up the good work.

[@gregorytatoian4181]

Cal also could get players who we t to combine but we're told they wouldn't be drafted go back to school for a year so he could also pickup a couple players like that.Wagner I think wants to do regular visits to other school but probably just to see what pitch he gets but probably ends up with cal better then 50 % probability

[@user-xh6gz4sb4f]

See that the Kensucky fans made their way in here...

[@jrclark9019]

And as usual, they've always got their Caliperi, ..."how dare he?" ...chip on their shoulder. For a team that claims they were done with Cal, ....they sure are sore that he came to Arkansas. Can't much blame Cal for leaving all their ...entitled brat... mentality. Heaven forbid if Pope has a slow start. They'll kick him to the curb FAST!!!

[@devildoc4257]

I actually wish you all the best. And I'm glad you're happy with cal. I'm only pointing out about big z. Only question I have is how has cal become a better coach. He can always get players. You all dogged us when he was our coach. Why is he a great coach now?

[@stevenrogers8313]

M3ntion Cal or Arkansas basketball in any capacity will have them coming from every direction. I only wonder how many more months they will continue this bitter breakup behavior.

[@stevenrogers8313]

@@pamelatrader899 I know him as well as you. You eat dinner at his house? Talk to him on the phone? Go on Vacay with him and his family? No, you watched games and press conferences same as so many other non-kensucky have. Also, thank you for reinforcing the bitter breakup behavior statement!

[@pamelatrader899]

@@stevenrogers8313 then wyou get what you deserve don’t whine and bitch when there’s no tournaments wins or nattys . Dont complain about paying 7 million to cal clearly you are complacent and happy with mediocrity. So , don’t start ask for that either . . Why do you think he left uk.? lol

[@TheTallhillbilly]

Before you get the Pig's too excited you should slow your roll and examine Cal's history recruiting Europe... He's less than 50% in getting them on a college floor... Of course if they're that good they can always be used on the practice team....😉

[@sthompson8594]

Same hype U.K. always got. They'll do better, but only Cal.40 better. Good Luck.

[@DuaneChristopher-gv8rw]

To tell you the truth, I didn't want Cal to leave I think it was a big mistake, it's good for you guy's cause Cal is one of the best all these dum ass people in Kentucky they thought they could get who ever they wanted and they got fooled.

Maybe he can win a tournament game lol

Its all good Cal can keep going with his one and dones UK has bigger and better plans.

[@joelbridges8635]

Lol less talant but bigger plans got it😂

[@user-lw5vl2he4g]

More talent as a game coach...less as a recruiter??? Or is it the other way around ?

[@rushmore3927]

What's the diff? He had amazing players at KY, but focused on NBA development instead of team development. That bassakwards approach will probably yield the same results.

[@joelbridges8635]

Lol hide and watch I bet Kentucky fans are ready to fire Pope before march

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Just a new fanbase that bought his BS hook, line, and sinker. He’s gonna fail hard like always. They act like anyone’s cares yet never question why we were so happy to get rid of him.

[@DuaneChristopher-gv8rw]

What gets me is the interview with Coach Cal and the AD MB and said we want what's best for the school. Boy was that a big lie and smack in the fans face first thing Cal did was who comes with me.

[@robertmcanarney7589]

You don't want players on kenfuckys team that want to play for Cal at Arkansas do you? He's did what was best for Kensucky by agreeing to their extreme desire to play for the best sports program in the nation.

[@rodbrock4759]

Go to your on podcast. Oh wait Kentucky podcast / No you a waste of time.

[@joelbridges8635]

So Pope didn't bring any BYU players with him I guess Kentucky fans are so pathetic

[@DuaneChristopher-gv8rw]

They didn't do good at Kentucky the 2 best players went to the NBA see how happy pig's are when they go home first round. O I forgot Pig's never get to the first round so if they get their that's big for them.

[@LsXnation.WFOArmy]

Ok ....I don't get it ,since when did Calipari become this saint ? all this guy has ever been known for was being one of if not the biggest sleeze balls in college basketball!! he'll lie and do whatever it takes to keep his style of recruiting (ancient) has been lost with the NIL era ,players don't have to go to these BLUEBLOODs to make it to the league,plus he doesn't have the "gold standard" name sake/tadition as he called it while at KY to cast the net over the whole country and pouch any player he chooses and I'm glad of it! let him see what type of player he gets with just having just a large bag of money gets him,i imagine it wont goes as well at his new job!! oh yeah, i dont think its by coincedence that the only school hes left without it being on probation or under investigation was ky ???? dont count on it just yet!!!

[@dodgechallenger2116]

That's one more tournament than Mark Pope has ever coached

[@WSG23]

@@dodgechallenger2116 how long has Cal coached? How many of his teams were preseason top 10? How many championships? 1. UK got a rising star and a true good human as coach. AR got a con man at his prime. Enjoy.

[@stevenrogers8313]

My definition of a rising star in the college coaching world would list coaches that have won atleast one tournament game. You like Pope because you have to as not liking him won't change who your coach is

[@WSG23]

@@stevenrogers8313 Pope was captain , not best player by any means, but captain of the best team ever assembled in college hoops. That’s why BBN supports him . He will be successful at UK. Maybe not overnight but he will. He understands winning and tradition. Cal understands himself.

[@LDW-77]

@WSG23 Rising star 😂 That's hilarious. 🤣 Pope is 51, has been a head coach for 10 years with ZER0 ncaa tournament wins.
