UK was supposed to have the best freshman class ever this year so a team with 5 losses already is embarrassing to that fanbase. Calipari himself was promoting that preseason 40-0 talk.
Their class next year will be by far their worst yet (absurd to think about with 4 McDonald all american's but 2 of those guys would never be McD players at Uconn). The UK recruiting bump is killer for them since it unfairly raises expectations. Additionally, there is quite a big difference between players ranked 1-5 and players ranked 15-40, especially when you are depending on them to be playing 30 mpg right out of the gate and UK doesn't have a Cousins, Wall, Davis, Kidd Gilchrist type coming in. Booker, Lyles and Ulis are guys ranked in that Roscoe Smith, DD, Oriakhi, Omar Calhoun range. Good players, but not carrying any team as a freshman.
Maybe they will be in the running for a ship in 15-16 if Cal doesn't get sick of his fanbase before then, but he seems to be on tilt, as seen in his absurd comments last night that his UK team is the most under the microscope team in any sport ever (who is even talking about them this year anymore?). I wouldn't be surprised to see him gone to the NBA after this year or next.
