ESPN is premiering a new 30 for30 on Thursday night on John Calipari called "One and Not Done". Those shows are usually entertaining and will be interesting to see how they frame Cals career.

It's weird to me to try and frame a career that's ongoing, especially when it doesn't appear to be anywhere near the end.

Free advertising and not an interesting story imo.

Yeah... the fact that the blowhards that cover UK all seem to think it's 'fair' probably means it's a giant fluff piece that writes off his troubles as "just a poor kid trying to make it" type stuff.

Why didn't y'all watch it before passing judgement?

I mean, I'll probably watch it, but that doesn't mean we can't talk about it/predict what it's going to be about.

Hopefully they blast him for his shady recruiting tactics and what went down with Memphis

That's sort of what I'm saying. I bet they do, but then under a veil of a "he just wanted to win so bad because of how he grew up..." kind of a thing.

The commercials didn't make it feel like a 30 for 30. It felt more like a documentary that Fox Sports Southwest would do on an affiliate team.

Because it's not a story that interests me. I'll need at least 3-4 people I trust to tell me it's good to watch it.

he's been a cheat since his Marcus Camby UMASS days

The NCAA has let him throw his hands up in shock twice. It's pathetic.

Based on the thread title, I thought the post was going to be about Robert Williams.

That would have been a good guess.

Think Hop had a cameo when they showed the A&M vs Kentucky game from last year at Reed.

Really can't stand him, but I can't blame him or the players

Really hope waiting another year doesn't hurt Robert Williams

I watched it...

Again a commercial for his one and done way......hell it made seem that he was a victim...refs dont give him calls...he is selfless in his pursuit for doing whats best for the kids....he destroys their scholarship so they cant come back..

In a sleazy business he's the the top sleaze ball

REALLY wish they would've did some journalism on the World Wide Wes side of the story

And Maybe Cal is better for these kids than other options.....Im honestly terrified for Robert Williams this coming year....I want him to get paid and see him take care of his family....if he gets injured or Aggie basketball sucks...Im going to be really depressed

I'm not that worried about Williams. Again, to me, if he didn't go it's because he got feedback that he wouldn't actually be a surefire lottery pick and could potentially fall quite a bit.

If he works this offseason to make that midrange shot more consistent he'll be a definite lottery pick. Heaven forbid he show that he can hit that three point shot even remotely consistently.

Michigan State fans don't look terrified about Bridges coming back...

I don't understand why it is impossible to believe that people could consider other factors besides where they will go in the draft.

If A&M can get to the point where we routinely can compete with UK by having experienced upperclassmen who are also very good players but not phenom's like Kentucky's one and done guys, I like our approach better. Gives the fans longer to follow the college careers of these players and see them develop which is something I find interesting and also builds a stronger connection between the player and the school/program.

Yes, if we can become one of the best programs in the nation, a lot of A&M fans will like that.

Well yeah, of course they would. I was just saying that I would enjoy having one of the best programs that was good the traditional way instead of the UK method of reloading one and done guys every season.

Loved the Umass stuff. That was when Calipari really was good. More pure straight up coaching. He built that thing into a power.
