Locked On Kentucky - Daily Podcast On Kentucky Wildcats Football & Basketball show

Summary: Outside of next year's recruiting class, John Calipari has done nothing to win over the Kentucky basketball fanbase, and now he could be leaving for Texas. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe goes over the ways the Kentucky Wildcats have fallen short of expectations this season, and why it all points back to Calipari. The chemistry isn't there on the court. The players seem like they've given up, and Oscar Tshiebwe is begging for the team to show some fight. The scheme hasn't changed, and it's making Coach Cal look bad when he has faced up against coaches running more modern things - Nate Oats at Alabama, Dennis Gates at Missouri, etc. The matchup between Kentucky vs South Carolina was arguably the most embarrassing loss of the season last night for the Wildcats. There are no answers. GG Jackson and Meechie Johnson got hot early and never looked back. Even when things got close late, Kentucky proved once again that they don't possess a clutch player that can close out a game. Finally, to turn things into a positive direction, Lance takes a look at next year's roster (if nothing changes). Rob Dillingham, DJ Wagner and Reed Sheppard could form the most electric backcourt in the SEC next season. Justin Edwards, Aaron Bradshaw and Ugonna Onyenso should also be explosive. If UK can find a transfer PF, this could be a legitimate roster next season. If it takes John Calipari all of the five-star talent in the world to win a title, he's going to have a great shot next year. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
