This may not be Calipari’s best team since he became UK’s coach in 2009. It may not be his most athletic, or his fastest, or his smartest, or his tallest, or his most dangerous. It may, however, be his most interesting.
I don’t think he’s sandbagging. I think this team will struggle early as it tries to find its chemistry and identity. In fact, this team may have more struggles earlier than any team Calipari has coached in quite awhile.
Part of that has to do with youth. By ESPN’s measure, UK will be the least experienced team in all of college basketball in 2017-18. Wenyen Gabriel is the only returnee who made a significant contribution last year, and Gabriel’s minutes decreased down the stretch. Calipari is adept at molding young teams, but he’s never had to coach one this young.
“We will be ugly early. That’s just how it’s going to be.

He is a smart man to under promise and have everyone pleasantly surprised.
That is a good rule of thumb in business, as well.

I have no worry. We will win the sec. No one is as deep as us. We will lose very few games. They all will see how good we will be come january.

To deep and too talented. I believe we may lose a game or two but we'll be just fine.

It will be fun watching this team develop. They may be young but they have plenty of talent and Cal will have them playing good basketball in no time.
