I can’t believe this ragtag group of 5 stars has done it
It's been difficult at many times, but I think this is a final four team.
I sometimes wonder if the mostly unspoken side of this is K taking the wind out of Calipari's sails by going after one and dones. Cal was on top in 2015 and had the top program in the time since he got to Kentucky, but K shifting his recruiting strategy really seemed to give him trouble. Without that, we could have been dealing with Kentucky juggernauts every few years when their recruiting classes really panned out.I think the OAD model is fairly solidly validated by now. If you consider 2014 the start, that's a span of 4 elite 8s with 2 final fours in 8 seasons (and probably should be 3 final fours), even with questionable roster building, sub optimal defensive coaching, and a mentally declining head coach. I'll take those results given that going forward
On a semi-related note, if Cal does leave, who fills in the OAD vacuum? Duke is only going to land so many. I guess the worry could be that Hubert Davis figures out the recruiting side of things. There's no reason that UNC shouldn't be landing elite classes again.I sometimes wonder if the mostly unspoken side of this is K taking the wind out of Calipari's sails by going after one and dones.
