John, as a UK fan I started listening to your show to see an Arkansas perspective on Cal. But I’ve became a fan. You do a great job and you did great on Finebaum. Hopefully Lexington treats you well.
John, UK didn’t figure it out the last 5. Cal lucked into Reed Sheppard (he didn’t want to recruit him but was forced to take a legacy kid) and Dilly (doesn’t like Cal). He threw them both to the bench to start his Godson Wagner and Edwards (Klutch). He tried his best to hide them and really, didn’t want them showing up his other players. He made excuses for it but by the end of the year, it destroyed them team. He’s using Arkansas to get the Wagner family paid and I think he’ll settle over the next year or 2 and officially hang it up. He doesn’t want to be at Arkansas. Cal has officially retired but what he did was set up at Arkansas to finish the contract. Cal always said he didn’t want to coach in hues 60’s. But the contracts got too big and it’s too much money. So what Ark got in Cal was not a coach or a program guy, you bought his recruiting machine. Problem is, it’s no longer effective because the game is too old for those recruits to make that kind of impact. Not sure how Arkansas missed this when I’m sitting in my couch half naked eating chips and know it. Maybe I should be your AD?
Love this dude he's a realist razorback fan in the media and doesn't sugarcoat anything. So glad they didn't ask the duo of the mouthpiece morning show for the University lol
I am a diehard Kentucky fan. I give it to this guy. He speaking a lot of the truth. Have done said that I’m so glad that coach cal is gone. I remember watching all of his press conferences win or lose an him saying the same thing over and over again I’m so happy he’s gone.
When Steph curry stated bombing 3s and these zoom actions started taking over then Cals “style” was done. After 2015 or so he was done coaching wise. Now he’s always gonna get some players. But doesn’t matter when they can’t fit together or don’t have any experience to win those big games.
Everyone wasnt concerned about cal getting booed in rupp after losses to unc Wilmington and Evansville. Now they care . Cal has been booed several times in Rupp
If nobody else cares about the game except Arkansas and Kentucky fans then why are they asking about it? Just let them worry about UNC and Duke. We don’t need anyone else to care about the game. It means a lot to us. When Coach Cal is winning then he engages with the fans in a positive way.
I just don’t know how you got players, CAL RECRUITED HERE AT KY TOOK EVERYONE OF THEM TO AK AND TOP 5 RECRUITS AND HAVE THE worst year. I like CAL FOR WHAT HE DID FOR THE STATE OK KY WHAT HE DID FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF KY BASKETBALL. BUT LIKE ALL OTHER COACH YOU GO 4 YEAR WITH OUT WINNING A SEC TOURNAMENT OR GETTING PAST THE FRIST ROUND NCAA AS AT FAN THAT UNEXCEPTIONABLE HERE OR ANY COLLAGE SCHOOL.
I promise Jon u will not get invited to Cals Halloween party that’s reserved for boosters , Tyson’s ,Walton’s , Jones he does good things for the community don’t get me wrong but sees himself above us small people and if I had to bet Cal came down to golf with chicken 🐔 man and play movie star for last few years before retirement and then will move back to Lexington. 😂😂😂
Kentucky was crappy last year. The only thing that saved them was, they had two very good shooters on the team. If you take away those shooters, you’re gonna have this years hogs team.
@@ashergorman6212 none of Cals last five teams at UK figured it out. 1 NCAA tournament win, 1 SEC tournament win and missed the tournament altogether once. I love Cal but he looks even more checked out this year than ever. He'll win a big game or two he shouldn't this year though. I just hope it's not against my Wildcats.
@@26michaelukhe very well might win another game or two....this year....2-16 maybe 3-15. Probably finish tied for last with S. Carolina. Somehow he keeps his '25 burger boys together but returns only DJ and can't land a single impactful free agent, uh I mean transfer. Enter next year picked to finish last in the SEC.
Sorry man, you’re the University of Calipari now. The program comes second. That disconnect you feel is the result of losing your program identity. This won’t change. Cut bait.
I've seen Nabors everywhere since the return of Cal has become a thing. He may hate Kentucky and BBN, but he might want to thank us for his 15 minutes of fame.
@@eugenehovekamp6038 he has dozens of death threats from UK fans and receives threats from former notable UK athletes. He’s a truth teller and owes no one a thank you especially UK folks.
If you guys keep aggravating Cal to say more, he will disappear completely. He will send one of the assistant coaches to do the press. Word to the wise, walk on egg shell's when addressing king Cal!😁

Arkansas fans are very lucky to have John Nabors. Much love to you from BBN
Dude. Congrats! Very happy for y’all you deserve the success Nabors
Look at John’s smile. How cool! He knows he’s a made man now in the sports world.
Terrible lighting.
Spot on, John. The roster management (one big guy under the basket-Jonas Aidoo) is simply not enough. Your “disconnect” observation is also spot on.
Hate Arkansas but this guy has a huge future in what he does. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him get a big job.
@@jordanwitcher7450 I love Arkansas and agree. It’s refreshing to have our own folks speak up about our raggedy athletic department.

This has got to be the rawest explanation of this whole situation I’ve heard/read. Everything you said is absolutely true. You nailed it perfectly.
All those Arkansas fans thinking they got the best coach of all time lol. Reality is finally setting in
Great job, John! Congrats for being on with Finebaum!
Yes, congrats, John--talking with Paul Feinbaum.
Love this dude he's a realist razorback fan in the media and doesn't sugarcoat anything. So glad they didn't ask the duo of the mouthpiece morning show for the University lol
Great interview which really describes how the fan base feels
The disconnect that he talks about between the fans and Calipari is exactly how UK fans felt the past few years

Cal doesn't talk when he's losing
“Nobody expected it to be that bad” Welllllllllllllllllllllll idk about all that
I love this so so much!!! ❤❤🎉
UK fan here. Cal used to be tuned in to the fans, but eventually changed to what you describe. It got old. Good luck, except when playing the Cats.
Salute

Look at him doing this in KSBar lol.
It’s funny how this entire video is just him describing what Kentucky fans have been saying for years
Nabors at KSBar? Please tell me he's on the show tomorrow
John loves Kentucky, wants to move there, he even looks like them folk
We will accept him
Where are all of the Arkansas fans that couldn't shut up the whole summer 🤔 😅 we're coping with Pope just fine. You will find out tomorrow night 😂
I have 1500 signatures from die hard uk fans. Game day can never come back here!!
John the players have to make there shots to win. Cal.cant shot for them!!
He wasn't trying to have a shallow roster. He couldn't fill the roster.
Cal is 65 years old….thats the problem in a nutshell
Pitino is smashing it and he is older than Cal.
This is Cals problem… disconnecting the fans from the program
Some of the best teams the past few years, yes …. and couldn’t make it out of the first round of the dance.

Its his first year. Give Cal a break.

How can someone sit there and spout false info to everyone that knows better.
The last few years…ousted in the first round.
3 bad years in a row
As a fan of humans and keeping pointy objects away from ears, why does anyone listen to this geriatric
Ky win by 25 easy win 😅 ark pack ur bags and go home 😅. Lets go cats BBN

@@eugenehovekamp6038 Factual. He talks about it in his video with Aaron Torres. Look it up.

To the point im glad when they loose, just to see the grief on cals face. All we got is a tyson thug.
