Coach Cal on Julius Randle’s cramps
Coach Cal made his weekly appearance on the SEC coaches teleconference this morning and the first order of business was discussing Julius Randle and those reoccurring cramps that keep sending him back to the locker room. Calipari believes it’s Randle’s body telling him to stop playing so hard:
Well, first of all, I really believe he’s gotta get to cramping in practice. He’s gotta go that hard in practice. He’s not cramping in practice, so that leads me to believe he’s gotta step on the gas there. Second thing is, we’ve probably gotta get him a quicker rotation so that he’s in and out instead of staying on the floor 7, 8, 9 minutes, 10 minutes. Let him go three or four minutes, come out, go back in, and play a little bit of a different rotation. But those are some things. Diet. You know we’ve blood-tested him and all those things. But I believe again, when you go at the pace he goes — because he puts out and he goes really, extremely hard — your body says, ‘Hey, man, slow down.’
Randle was limited to three minutes in the second half against Vanderbilt and four second-half minutes against Louisville. The Cats were able to win both games, but that can’t continue on the rest of the season.

Probably menstral related.
Or minstral, as long as we are paying attention to spelling.
So it’s related to a traveling musician telling stories and singing songs of his Randle’s great conquests? You must have gone to UofL med school.
the tardinal fan is out in full force today
I love the dude and agree that UK’s gonna need this to stop, but you got to love the ball movement when he’s not on the floor.
Or If either one of you pay really really close attention- Menstrual
Jughead might have been talking about a travelling musician.
Which he still misspelled.
Haha
You guys are not the brightest bulbs in the bucket.
Says the guy who misspelled a word he was correcting someone else about
I remember when this happened to me in college.
Me too.

The football players in NKY have all told me to drink the juice out of a pickle jar.
2 words…Pickle Juice
He just needs potassium and a minstrel that knows his way around a lyre
I once knew a minstrel who would sing songs about menstrual cramps. He always wrapped his lute in saran wrap and drank pickle juice at all his stops. He would chew on the bark of the cinchona tree. He claimed that the quinine in the bark was medicinal.
He lived on small mustard farm.
Is that the South Americam Chichona tree?
Cal was actually saying he needed to play harder in practice so that his body is ready for it, come gametime.
This really makes me wonder….what are you going to do in the NBA, Julius? When games are twice as long as college games…
Yeah but no one ever plays that hard in the NBA. He can go 75% and dominate there.
Vlasic or Clauusen ?
It’s probably tough to simulate three players giving you legitimate body blows every time you touch the basketball in practice.
The Big Dog Is gonna eat, just watch, if he isn’t the most fun guy to watch since Mash!!! Also we have not had a player that was more fun to watch than Mash.
Besides King Rex….
Rose claimed that Saran Wrap is good for a cramping Chub. How can u argue with Rose? #keepitdeep
