Nearly five months after receiving a scholarship offer from Tennessee, Dawayne Galloway visited Knoxville on Thursday to see the Vols for the first time. He is already preparing to travel there once more.
The third spring practice of Tennessee was attended by the four-star cornerback from Marion-Franklin High School in Columbus, Ohio, who is a member of the Class of 2025. The cornerback expressed his happy surprise at the Vols’ level of play. He expressed his intention to return “for sure” in the upcoming months and expressed interest in making an official trip to Tennessee.
One of Albert Einstein’s famous quotes is, “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.”
The world’s most powerful scientist apparently never heard that quote from Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart, as on Tuesday he announced UK head coach John Calipari will return for a 16th season, despite the fact that Calipari is quick to remind Big Blue Nation of the Kentucky men’s basketball “standards” that have led to four straight disastrous seasons.
Under Calipari, UK has had four terrible seasons: a 9-16 record, the lowest in program history; a defeat to 15th-seeded Saint Peter’s in the NCAA Tournament Round of 64; and a 22-12 campaign that ended in a defeat in the Round of 32 despite possessing the returning consensus.
The Wildcats haven’t advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s second weekend since 2019, have only won one SEC Tournament since 2019, haven’t been to the NCAA Tournament Final Four since 2015, and haven’t taken home the championship since 2012.
In spite of everything, Barnhart is going back to Calipari, whose opening remarks on his final weekly radio talk to conclude the previous season were strikingly similar to what he said after the team’s 9-16 2020–21 campaign.
