Cincy is a pretty big and demanding job honestly. 

A step up no doubt but not what they were under Huggins.

People dog on Crean and his time at Georgia... But Georgia has gotten better every season and just had a better season than IU. And people here we're still on the fence about firing Archie.

It’s not hard to improve when you go 2-16 in the conference your first year. He’s 14-40 in the SEC the past three years. I know it’s Crean’s style to not count the first three years of his tenure at schools, but that’s really bad.

Crean did not have a better year. Kenpom 95

True dat. Although by the end of last season (save for the "Stevens/Beard, Oats or no one" unrealistic lunacy crowd) very, very , very few, (at least on this board) were in favor of keeping Archie. FWIW, the UGA board is overwhelmingly done with Crean.

As for Crean, unlike at IU he didn't inherit a train wreck at UGA and his recruiting is getting worse, not better.

• He pulled a seven man recruiting class two years ago with the #1 five star, four other four stars, and two three stars. Not one single player from that class will suit up for Georgia this coming season. It's as if he already pulled his Watford, Hulls, Creek, Zeller level kids, but unlike at IU even that didn't translate into success.
• His incoming recruiting class consists of the 216th and 250th player nationally.
• His most impactful incoming portal transfer is a player that averaged 12.4 ppg at Florida Atlantic.

It is most certainly NOT trending well at all.

I don't hate on previous coaches. I appreciate what they tried to do here, but for whatever reason, it didn't work out. I'm even glad that Sampson has found some success. I don't blame him for what happened here, I blame the administration that hired him given what was known. I like Mike Davis the person, just not the coach. I want CAM and coach Crean to find success also. Nothing wrong with wanting fellow human beings have a happy life.

Georgia was 14-11(7-12). We were 12-15(7-12). When you're under .500, you're not better than anyone. You're a loser. You suck.

From Kentucky’s side of things for those interested

Two sources tell KSR that Illinois has made a “substantial” counteroffer to Orlando Antigua to keep him in Champaign 

If Kentucky matches, he will likely end up in Lexington. The offer would make him the highest paid Assistant coach in College Basketball

Yep we should have played some high schools to pad that record

I’m sure none of that money was ever withdrawn from his bank via ATM and found its way into players hands..

What does a slightly above .500 record mean when you played cupcakes so rich that my kid would say yucky

Reports that Terrence Clarke from UK died in a car accident today... Just terrible. Hope the reports are wrong.

Their board says Boston died too.

If true, that's awful.  Wow.

Oh wow, for real? Absolutely horrible. It unfortunately looks like the Clarke news is true but I hadn’t seen anything about Boston.

Well when you win more and more every year... It's called progress.

Not if you are playing easier and easier teams.  And regardless it still doesn’t mean he had a better year than us last year
