John Calipari leaving for Arkansas is a huge win for Kentucky

I think it's actually a huge win for Kentucky. Kentucky fans like they wanted him gone two weeks ago. Not only that, but it's a huge win for Kentucky for a couple things. One, you don't have to pay him any money... two, all the boosters that had turned on Cal are gonna be all the way back in... and three... Kentucky is 1 billion times bigger than Coach Cal.

The immediate reaction from Kentucky fans and the subsequent hire of Mark Pope (though not a 'home run' name) confirmed the fan base was ready to move on. Kentucky avoided the $33 million buyout.

I personally guarantee Kentucky will win a national title before Arkansas

I'll do my what's the Cavs owners name? Dan Gilbert. Sense. Personally guarantee it. Right. Personally guarantee... I just think Kentucky will be good. I think they'll be, they'll be fine immediately.

This is a long-term prediction. Both programs are currently in a transition period under new coaching.

Caitlin Clark is a bust because she can't win the big one

Are we sure Caitlin Clark is actually good. Ooh Bust can't win the can't win the big one.

Clark went #1 overall in the WNBA draft and has had an historic rookie season, proving she is far from a bust.

The obsession with velocity is destroying MLB pitchers' arms

Everyone's obsessed with velocity... everyone just looking at the numbers being like, you gotta throw a hundred, you gotta throw a hundred. And arms are just getting pushed to this max at a early age and everyone's destroying their arms.

This is a widely held opinion among baseball analysts and experts as the data shows a correlation between max effort velocity and ligament damage.

The US will be under a massive cyber attack sooner rather than later

I suggest you take out all your money outta your bank and stop using credit cards for the next few months until I can give you the green light again. We will be under a cyber attack sooner rather than later. Just looking out, I'm in communication with the very important person for one of, if not the biggest software companies in the world.

No massive, bank-shutting cyber attack occurred in the months following April 2024.

The eclipse and the CERN particle collider will send us into the fourth dimension

They're turning CERN on the day of the eclipse. And I believe the research is they're trying to reach a fourth dimension... Once the the moon covers the sun when it comes back, like we'll be in the fourth dimension. Like everything will be different.

The eclipse passed without any shift in dimensions or the end of the world.

Dan Hurley will be the coaching face of college basketball if he wins the title

Hurley would put himself as the coaching face of college basketball. You will have won each NCAA tournament game if, if you win this game in commanding fashion... He'll win each game by at least 13 points.

Hurley won his second title and then famously turned down the Lakers job, cementing him as the premier name in college coaching.

Donovan Clingan will make a three-pointer in the National Championship game

Bold prediction for Monday night. Okay. Donovan Clingan makes a three oh... I could see a high ball screen and instead a roll and he slips back and makes and makes Edey pay for going all the way down there.

Donovan Clingan did not attempt or make a three-pointer in the 2024 Championship game against Purdue.

UConn will beat Purdue 83-70 in the National Championship game

UConn 83 Purdue. 70 83 70.

The final score was UConn 75, Purdue 60. Fanta correctly predicted a double-digit UConn victory, though the score was lower than 83-70.

Villanova must make the tournament next year or Kyle Neptune is in trouble

It is time this upcoming year for Villanova to get back to the big dance floor or else... You can't go a decade of making the NCAA tournament and making runs... then miss it back to back seasons.

Neptune entered the 2024-25 season on the hot seat after two seasons of missing the NCAA tournament.
