The fans were shocked
Calipari’s words were enough for fans to comment en masse on the unexpected praising.
“Two goats. One’s an Arkansas head coach now never imagined cheering you on, @CoachCalArk but can’t wait to start…” one fan wrote in response to Calipari’s tweet.
“Execs at Tyson Foods are already on the phone with the Arkansas collective asking how much NIL Caitlin needs to hold off on the WNBA for another year,” joked another user, while someone else stated, “Trying so hard not to like this.”
