Where will Arkansas end up in '24-25'?

[AidanFan20]

Every time I see references to this guy by his first name, I think of:

Cal Worthington, and his dog, Spot!

I want that, too. I don't wish ill or wish well for Calipari, but I do hope Arkansas finishes above Kentucky and sweeps their regular season match up. Him going back to Rupp Arena will be like Cooley going back to the AMP in Providence.

Only playing once. At Kentucky. So we'll see what the reaction will be.

Kentucky vs. Arkansas: John Calipari will face former team at Rupp Arena in only scheduled meeting for 2024-25

I wish there were an advanced coaching stats database for this. Particularly for VORC (value over replacement coach), wins versus expectation, and offensive and defensive coaching win shares. I would bet Cal's wins versus expectations put him around an average D1 coach, maybe even worse. He might have been a good coach at some point, if super shady, but I haven't seen it in quite awhile.

Unless he stops talking about getting guys to the league and starts talking about winning team basketball, I wouldn't expect anything different at Arkansas.

Their coach left, Squid can't win, he's not doing better at AR than he did at UK

I believe that Arkansas will be right where it is now. South of Missouri; North of Louisiana; West of Tennessee and Mississippi then East of Oklahoma and Texas.
