Who has he cut? lol?

It takes more than great coaching to develop as a player. It takes will.

Players are a reflection of their coach, not the other way around. When coaches start blaming their players for a bad season, it reflects badly on the coach. Sometimes coaches fail to develop a player's skills to the extent that they expected, despite their best efforts and the best efforts of the player involved. That happened when Rick Pitino signed Carlos Toomer, who was a great athlete that Pitino was sure he could develop into the nation's top point guard. It never happened and nobody was to blame, IMO.

When a coach blames an entire team on a failed season, the way Calipari seems to have done this year, the fault clearly lies with the coach.

Calipari has not cut anybody yet, but he will be pressuring players to transfer or walk-on to make room for players who have never played a minute in a Kentucky uniform when they have done nothing wrong. That will not play well with future recruits if it happens. Calipari says that he does not believe that one-and-done basketball is a good thing, but many of us just do not believe the man.
