Calipari on Jim Rome is Burning

The UK media blitz continues. Calipari chatted with Jim Rome today on ESPN and mentioned a few things:

  • Anyone who wants out of their commitment with UK can leave.
  • He will be flying back to Lexington tonight and having a practice with his new team. I'm thinking this will be more like tryouts. Anyone who wants to stay at UK next year, you better bring your "A" game.
  • He talked with Daniel Orton and his family within the past 24 hours and the meeting went well. Calipari told the Orton's he was under no obligation to come to UK, but would love to have him.
  • Coach Cal also said if he saw Christian Laettner lying on the ground, he would stomp on his chest and feel good about it.

Oh, and 8th grader Michael Avery de-committed as well. Be glad John Calipari is not your boss.

....And Dakotah Euton de-committed today.

  1. Coach is running off all our good talent!!! Who will be left to play for us?!?!? FIRE HIM! Oh, he'll get better players? My bad.

  2. For any player, this has got to be an uneasy time. Pop quiz/Final type of feeling.

  3. This is exactly what we need. A coach who bases his players on their performance as opposed to whatever Michael Porter was doing to get PT. Love the Laettner comment... Seems like everything is falling into place
