Rondo didn't play for Cal. He played for Tubby Smith!
That shows you that this panel doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
"Arkansas will be grateful to be in the tournament and make it to the Round of 32"
That's an insane statement, they have made like 2 elite 8s and multiple sweet 16s in the past 4 years lol. They should get people who watch college basketball as guest for topics like this.
They're not a good program. High levels of dysfunctionality. Before 2021 they hadn't even made the sweet 16 since the 90s
@@nostoneunturned7641 And Kentucky is stable?!?
I’m a huge Kentucky fan. Arkansas has had much more post-season success over recent years, it’s simply objective fact
@@nostoneunturned7641tell me you don’t know sh!t about college basketball without telling me you don’t know sh!t about college basketball.
Ive been saying the same. They need to stop talking college if they dont watch throughout the season. Proud of Cal. Got up out of here.
I swear Keyshawn is never surprised 😂
😂😂😂
Cant be surprised when you already know everything lol.
😂😭😭
Bro expects everything
Lmaoooooooo
Booker KAT Murray Fox Maxey AD Shai Bam Herro Wall Cousins Randle Quickley Pj Washington Johnson Monk. Just off the top of my head
It's a damn shame... they have no idea what they are talking about...
I really couldn’t believe that lol.. I’m not even a Kentucky fan but that was hard to watch.
D Rose should have been off the top
Maxey
With 1 title. We've had alabama talent with auburn amount of wins.
That final four loss against Wisconsin broke Calipari. He’s been a disaster ever since
🎯💯
Keyshawn just give Skip the credit he called it
Skip said he would get fired that’s not calling anything lol
@@deesee2051 can't get fired if you quit
@@MikeBNumba6 they’ve been out the tournament for weeks he could have got fired then
@deesee2051 but he did come back with a counter offer with UK and they turned him down.
@@marksears558 he was already under contract with UK so your statement doesn’t really apply
As a born Kentucky fan and a Cal fan for a long time. He needed to move on. Im sorry but Kentucky is too big of a program to only have 1 ncaa tournament win in 4 years. Tubby was kicked out for way less. Cal said about Tubby Smith when he was first hired that Kentucky had too high of a standard for first exits in tournaments. He was right then and now.
Well uk better figure it out or change coaches every two yrs.
As a former Arkansan I am excited to hear this news❤
I wouldnt get too excited over a salesman...
Why?? He can’t coach! He’s proved that one and dones don’t work!!!
@@Tman53535lol name 5 teams that’s won more championships than him since he got to Kentucky you sound crazy
You should be. Yall got that homecourt atmosphere that Cal wanted to. Im gonna miss him here. These fans just lost a good one. Wether they believe it or not.
@Tman53535 one n dones was working. Easy to say that when you have 30 yr olds playing against young lightweight freshmen bc of the covid rule. When that's over next season. You better be able to recruit. Cal is the best at that
The analogy that Rachel made about "you don't want to be in a marriage because you can't afford to go anywhere else". She has NO IDEA how many people are in that exact position right now. Real talk.
That's why she said it
Will & jada to a T
What are they talking about Arkansas being grateful to make the tournament? Have they watched college basketball the last five years? They had a bad year this year but they have made it to the sweet sixteen three of the last four years and two elite eights.
Huge UK fan.....trust me, we're good with this
Arkansas out-dueling Kentucky in a basketball coaching hire? Insane times we are living in
Come on Keyshawn. We know how this works. "They didn't part with him". Yeah they did bro, they just did him a solid and let him get another position because officially "firing" him blemishes his image.
Cal had to leave, he became aware of alum giving up on Ky and his party was over. In my opinion 3 years too late. We were to the point we don’t care about who is going to play in the pros , give me a championship quality team. He had the fans, he had the kids, what we didn’t have was a focused coach on winning.
That’s also why women college basketball is better right now cause the players stay longer its easier to stay invested
And even that is starting to change.
Unwatchable tho
You’re the only one that thinks that. Not only that when Clark leaves women basketball will go back to what it was.
@@Underwood_5 mainstream wise yeah a little bit…but there some young women coming that can hoop
Women’s basketball is boring lol
Being the coach at a blueblood isn't always what it's made out to be. If you ain't in the elite eight, or final four every 2-3 years? They are going to run you out eventually. That's a fact.
Bc they have idiot fans who dont know a thing about basketball. I can tell you right now, UK fans dont.
Calipari staying in the SEC to compete against Kentucky is a BALLSY move...good for him.
I love it. I hope he runs us out the gym next season. Fans deserve it.
Keyshawn doesn’t know wtf he be on here talking about 🤦🏾♂️
He knows nothing about basketball sounds like Stephan a Smith talking mma
Facts
What did he say ? He speaks facts QUEEEEEE
What he say wrong?
Exactly!!@@754diesel
I liken Calipari to Aaron Rodgers in that both should’ve had more than one championship at this point.
Cal has hated being there for the past 5 years
Its good for both sides Ark and Ky
Did they do any research for this segment? Shai-Gilgeous, Fox, Adebayo, Maxey, Booker, Jamal Murray, John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, KAT. Those are just the All Stars in the NBA not including a plethora of other nba starters/role players. And how can you think rondo played for Calipari? C'mon!
Nichols even interviewed Rondo and Cousins in a segment a couple weeks ago! She heard Rondo say he didn't play for Cal.
😂😂
Keyshawn Johnson mindset is that of a non winner, he literally said hes not trying too help his team win a national championship
I'm shocked he was there that long
Don’t be shocked when yall don’t see another NCAA tournament followed by a lot of mediocre seasons
Thanks for giving arkansas respect. We may not be kentucky, but arkansas is a great basketball school and the pockets do run deep.
Everyone asking “why would he go there” or something like that is extremely ignorant. Very few teams have more NIL money than Arkansas. People just are quick to judge because it’s “Arkansas”, when y’all don’t know what you’re talking about. Calipari will get $6-7 million A YEAR in NIL money to work with. Instant yearly championship aspirations.
yeah we’ll see about that. he’ll be hyped up yet again and fail miserably and Arkansas fans will feel what Kentucky fans have felt for about half a decade now
@@GoatedAtNFS he will be playing in an environment where the fans will love him and support him. Play in a much MUCH better arena than Rupp. There is nothing about Kentucky basketball that you can say is “elite” that wasn’t started and maintained by Calipari
@@Problematic.10 guess those 7 championships means nothing then. he didn’t start ANYTHING, except invent one and done and didn’t wanna stop one an done
@@GoatedAtNFS they hadn’t won one in over a decade before he got there. He also took UMASS and Memphis to final fours.
black folks couldn’t drink from white water fountains for 80% of your titles. UK has been underwhelming over the last 7 years.
This is a great segment! Ok ok...i like the vibe.
My goodness Keyshawn be killing me with his takes
😂
John Calipari had so much talent to go through Kentucky and into the NBA and only has one national championship to show for it.
What is Skip talking about? Maxey, Booker, SGA, AD, John Wall, Fox, Cousins before that Rose and Evans, Marcus Camby.
This one was a head scratcher
Cal was not really wanting the heat anymore. He wants an easier job.
@michaeljmobley He didnt want the harrassment to his family anymore. I'd leave too.
@@pmontyjaaaymes488 He made 8.5 million a year. The UK job is a high pressure job. If you aren't producing then you are going to get scrutinized. Nobody was threatening him. But he deserved the scrutiny. But he left and got a cushier job with less expectations. If that's how he wants to retire, more power to him. He wasn't winning tournament games at UK for the last 5 years, so I doubt he's going to win them at Arkansas.
Never thought I'd see the day we hire John Calipari ..but I'LL TAKE IT ALL DAY LONG!!! WPS!!!
Someone told Keyshawn Rondo didn't play for cal 🤦🏾♂️
Shocking!!!
Kentucky supported Cal for a very long time. But he just gave up. So fans gave up on him. As a Kentucky fan I supported him. But when a man in getting paid big time and not holding up his end it’s time. It’s not the fans fault. Kentucky has the money. Just depends if Mitch makes the right hire.
Cal had old transfer guys at UK the past few years..... Oscar Tshibwe--- a NPOTY candidate ---- bounced by St. Peters...... Antonio Reeves - All American level guard ---- bounced by Oakland.
Hey Skip...there's a kid named SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER. Ever heard of him? lol. Pretty damn good
😂😂
The college version of Doc Rivers. All talk no substance. Living off one championship.
Booker, KAT, Fox, Monk, Randle, Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe ?
Does Keyshawn even know what he is talking about at times? Cal already said he didn't want to adapt to the portal and all that. He wants to continue to recruit high rated freshman. As a Kentuckian born and raised and basketball has always been first love. What coach Cal done for players, students, and even people we are grateful. I personally feel Cal is obviously an A+ Recruiter but a C+ in game/game time coach. His weakness is adapting and making adjustments on the fly imo. His other weakness will be not adapting to the portal. I hope Kentucky gets someone like Jay Wright, if he will give up the desk lol. Really hope we get a defensive minded all around coach. Dan Hurley would also be ideal but don't see that happening with UCONN about to win a chip tonight.
Keyshawn, it's a coach's job to get individuals on one accord. It is not an acceptable excuse to say the kids aren't worried about winning a title. Cal should get players in there that want to win, if he can't get those kids to buy in
Exactly 💯💯💯💯💯
17:05 😂😂😂😂 skip go to break
John Calipari is a salesman, not a coach. He believes that he is OVER Kentucky and HE’S the reason for all the recent success. Not knowing that the same players he recruited would’ve gone pro REGARDLESS if they went to Kentucky or not. for example: Rob Dillingham-a top 5 lottery pick in this year’s draft-originally committed to NC State, went to Kentucky to be on the national stage and for the extra boosters. That’s the power of a blue blood. Calipari coaches individually and still hangs on one and done with little experience on the roster. It doesn’t work anymore. & his coaching staff has regressed over the years as well.
Don't hate the coach hate the business.
One and done is what makes the school money. Think of how much money Zion made duke in one season
Kentucky is going to spiral
lol 😂Igh now rob would not have been a lottery at nc state. This 2024.
Do you think Dean Smith was a great coach?
Love Rachel Nichols on this show!
Great arena, top-shelf facilities, nobody knows better than Cal how loud the fans can get. Plus serious NIL bag. Look out blue bloods.
Bud Walton arena hits different. 20k fans, it’s a basketball Mecca.
Did you just call Arkansas' basketball gym a "Mecca" that's wild dude. Capacity doesn't = Mecca
@@csoles6446 What would consider a “Mecca”?
@@csoles6446It’s definitely at the top among college basketball atmospheres
Does Keyshawn just blindly defend everyone and everything??????
thought this was clickbait
As a stop gap do u grab Juwan as the coach and not have to pay a whole lot of money
Who cares if UK didn't want Cal. Arkansas is glad to have him and he's new to us Hog fans
Crazy😮Arkansas on the rise
The landscape has changed and maybe Kentucky thinks their recruiting should based on legacy and not NIL deals.
Last one and done team to really win was 2015 Duke with Tyus Jones Justice Winslow and Jahlil Okafor
8:28 relax those eyes Keyshawn
Can't wait for the no Skip version of this show 🤷♂️
So just Keyshawn and Paul Pierce?????😂
Skip IS the show
@blaketindle4703 nope, Key, Richard and Rachel Nichols🤷♂️
@theblakex Skip is the reason for the lackluster/almost non existent ratings
@@theblakex I think you left out a word. I'm assuming you meant to say Skip is sinking the show
He better not come thinking the Hog fans are going to be a push over!
Key right, I’m an Arkansas native. Coach Cal seen them $ signs. Arkansas money stupid deep. University of Arkansas is actually University of Walmart + Tyson. If you know, you mf know. 😆
Jerry Jones almatma
Truth!😂😂😂❤
A lot of people hate John Calipari, thinking he is an incompetent coach and a HOF fraud after his lackluster playoff performances. But do you see how many players he’s sent to the NBA? He’s obviously doing something right. Calipari is getting a fresh start, with 2nd to 4th year players + any recruits that Calipari brings from UK or that recommit. Arkansas will be a very underrated team next year
Skip don't know ball if he thinks AD is the only really dominant great player that came out of KY under Cal .. stop it ..
What is skip talking about, Kentucky dominance, SHAI, Karl-Anthony
Coach Cal almost pigeonholed himself with the 1 & done players that he couldn’t establish the College success he needed in order to make the March Madness run he needed. You need talent but you need experience, composure, and consistency too. I hope he recruits from the protocol and from the high schools and the junior colleges too.
Arkansas shouldn't be expecting a national championship because I guarantee you his best coaching days are far behind him just like Bill Belichick. Sport evolves but these guys don't they're stuck in their ways. That's why as soon as the n i l come in Nick Saban retired he's another one that's stuck in his ways and just it's all about power and control
lol Arkansas fans don’t be content if he gets bounced in first weekend. Mike Anderson did that for 8 years. Cal needs to make second weekend consistently.
Now is the perfect time for him to go to Arkansas. His recruiting with Arkansas NIL ability and money. As a UK fan I don’t like it. I think it’s time for change but I’m not happy with Cal going to Arkansas. I think he will win there. And last time we went for Billy D we ended up with Billy G.
Better get over it. Ppl wanted him gone. Cant be mad he went to another SEC school.
Still this debate Interesting and fun great job 😄
What are they smoking talking about AD is the only one from Kentucky in the NBA that's been dominant. How bout SGA, Jamal Murray, KAT, Devin Booker, Boogie Cousins, Tyrese Maxey, Tyler Herro, Dearon Fox, Bam Adebayo etc????? lol
Coach Cal's one and done style is short term. Lot of flash after the flash what do you got?
Real UK basketball fans don't give a funk about $ and nil and all that bs. We want a solid team with a cunning coach that wins games!!!!!!!! F all the optics and salesmanship! We want Ws!
Arkansas has been to two elite 8’s recently…it’s been a better job the past 5 years.
keyshawn still making this about freshmen. at what point do yall stop blaming the players and blame Cal? they had an experienced team in 2021 and 2022 still got bounced.
It's almost like all those great Kentucky playets are winning all the titles in the nba. Can't blame Cal for that.
Dominant NBA players from KY? Jamal Murray, Devin Booker, J Wall, KAT, SGA, Randle, buddy it’s endless All Stars
How about SGA?
Keyshawn is dead wrong here why would cal leaves KENTUCKY for Arkansas unless he was unwanted makes no sense
MORE RACHEL NICHOLS ❤❤❤ SKIP SHE SHOULD BE REGULAR PANEL MEMBER
Rachel 😍
John wall. Jamal Murray. Davis. Herro. Cousins. SGA. Booker. Etc etc etc
Kinda wish we (USC) would've left Muss where we found him and roped in Cal instead. But oh well.
Y’all were not about the get John Calipari 🤣🤣🤣
@@RazorbaX How TF would you know? We didn't reach out, so is a moot point.
Now i know why ratings are down. Not one knew Rondo didnt play for Cal. They had to tell key in earpiece rondo played for Tubby.
Key kept it too real 😂
Rachel looking good, wow
Skip seems to know the narrative behind every story 😂
Did he say Coach K never done it? Did everyone forget about the 2015 title when only freshman scored in the second half against Wisconsin to win that game, and a freshman won final 4 MOP? 😂 the media will say anything to prove a non existent point.
Cal's coaches leave for more money and head coaching jobs. Its hard to keep them and get them. So its hard.
Y’all better put some respect on Arkansas
Not to mention Cal's best friend is the Tyson CEO, who has billions and has given hundreds of millions to the Arkansas athletic department. Arkansas has some of the biggest boosters in sports. With this new NIL era and no caps on how much $$$$$ you can spend, Arkansas could also fire their head coach in CFB and hire a big name new coach and pay players. What took place by the NCAA losing those court cases in Tennessee and Virginia and the NCAA say we're done now dealing with NIL; the schools with the pocketbooks are going to become players in the big show.
Many of these top players go off to prep school so they have some experience away from home.
John Tyson padding that nil
Key the landscape has changed and he didn’t lol. Whose fault is that??
11:52 Skip Bayless is tripping I’m not a Kentucky fan but I give them credit for producing nice NBA players. Skip said it’s not been a dominant player to come out of Kentucky since Anthony Davis 🤔🤔 Kat Booker Murray Fox Maxey Shai Bam Herro Monk Quickley PJ Washington Randle. The crazy thing is if I’m not mistaken Wall and Cousins was there before AD so Cal has produced absurd amount of talent and sent them boys off to the league and made them millions and a lot of families happy. It’s the other family that he hasn’t made happy like the alumni and fans and with all that talent they was waiting on Ships and them Banners! I think it was split in half with the administration and boosters he may not delivered championship but he delivered checks and kickbacks coming back to the University from all them multimillionaires now alumni former players. I wouldn’t be surprise if he wins a ship at Arkansas the recruits will follow cal based on the facts all the guy’s they know in the league that played for him. He will just build Arkansas into a Tennessee, Auburn and look at Alabama the last couple of years so the SEC should be fun to watch in the next couple of years!
Cal has been buying player's for years before the NIL. Arkansas has big pockets. Big bank take little bank. He will get the best of the best..
I don’t like key’s approach about championships. He talks like a player who played and never won the big game in college or pro
Wake up Skip😂😂 4:00 mark
Uhh Jamal Murray? RONDO was under Tubby and not Cal.
13:06 tells you everything wrong with the culture and atmosphere at kentucky. When I moved with my mom in 97 to Lexington, the atmosphere was night and day different and what keyshawn is exclaiming here is down right disgusting to have a mindset like that. If that's the case, why recruit them if they don't care about your program. Who the he'll wants players like THAT??? But that's what it is and that IS what Calipari has cultivated and fostered there at Kentucky, lottery picks over banners mean more. Sorry but the fans think differently. To be clear I don't mind you wanting to provide for your family, but if you truly are as good as your prospect to be, then you should have no problem making it. Problem is, athletes like these are lazy, don't want to put the work in, and opt to take the easy way (UK national stage) out. It's sad and hopefully the Kentucky organization can find someone willing to turn the brand around back to where its about the name on the front and not on the back.
Rachel is so 🔥🔥😍
Too much heat in the kitchen.
I know it's a pipe dream, but I would go after Ricky P. Redemption Tour. 5 years, 2 titles.
This is a better segment than just Skip and keyshawn. They need to keep her around. The show needs a female voice
Skip bringing up Carmelo for no reason lmao there’s plenty of Kentucky players that lit up the league and still lighting up the league 🤨😂💯
Keyshawn needs to look at the 2015 Duke team that won it all with freshman. But Cal ain't no K.
