The Hogs' coach receives praise from new Kentucky coach
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Throughout the past month things have been pretty heated between the Razorbacks' and Kentucky Wildcats' fanbases. Outsiders would consider things said between rivals as verbal assault, especially on X. Sometimes maybe taken too far.
Although Kentucky won just a single national championship with some of the best talent each season, the Wildcats' perception nationally has never been stronger. The program has sent 138 players to the NBA with Calipari preparing 47 of them, 38 of those first round selections. Arkansas is in the same boat with no scholarship players returning from Eric Musselman's final team. Calipari currently has Arkansas perched in the No. 1 spot in the. A little Kentucky flavor is included with former players Zvonimir Ivisic and Adou Thiero committing so far. The Razorbacks have also signed three of Wildcats' six members of its original 2024 high school recruiting class in Karter Knox, Billy Richmond, Jr. and Boogie Fland.
“For him to be in is great for basketball," said Pope. "It’s going to be great for Arkansas fans and certainly great for Big Blue Nation. It’s going to be a battle. It is going to have some things become super personal. It’s one thing competing against somebody that you don’t know. It’s another thing competing against your brother. If you’ve done that in the backyard, it usually gets ugly because you love each other so much.
