Is this from Maggards site or you see it somewhere else?

No, I wouldn't believe Maggard if he told me the sky was blue. He has screwed up so much this weekend its not funny.

I probably should have stated it as rumor. It was reported by our recruiting analyst @ WCN. He heard it on Memphis Radio.

No confirmed links or sources as of yet, I'm still searching.

Ok I agree about maggard. John Clay is also saying it and Matt Jones said expect to hear something around 4.

I'd like to add that I disagree with all of this going on during the height of the NCAA tournament. The stage belongs to those still in contention.

You disagree with UK interviewing for an open position while the tournament's going on?

So maybe Pitino goes to Az...Bruce goes to UL and they will have a yearly matchup with UK played in Paducah.

I think it is an example of the egocentrisim that is the Kentucky Basketball program. I mirror it to the New York Yankees signing a huge contract during the World Series they arent playing in, or the Dallas Cowboys releasing some high profiled player during the Superbowl they arent playing in. It could have waited a week.

Quit hating. Look at the situation logically, every DAY that goes by without anything done, is another day lost in keeping your continuity in recruiting. Also, it leaves more time for the unforseeable to happen. Thats the business end of it my friend.

I don't see you hating on Alabama for hiring Grant a few days ago. I don't see you hating on Arizona during its search.

If you hate Kentucky thats fine, but don't act like its them flexing their muscle to take away the spotlight from the final four. Please.

I know Uk will figure it out but where in the world are the scholarships going to come from if Wall (I know he might end up at Baylor) and Cousins and Dennis (wants to follow Cal) come with Calipari as well as the current UK recruits all want to come to UK still.

So, if this all plays out like everyone thinks, and Calipari is a Wildcat, will Hatvol remain in love with Billy Clyde or will he shift all his love to Cal? I mean, he loves both.....But that would be like your best friend or brother marrying your ex-wife.....what are ya gonna do?
:)


Actually, where do you think Billy Clyde will end up?

I think Daniel Orton goes elsewhere. You can count on the fact that Gillispie sold him on the "we run the offense through you big man" pitch, and thats not the style Cal will run.

I think Cal will turn down Konner Tuckers verbal, since he has not signed a LOI.

MAYBE, (though not confirmed) you see a few transfers. I think you definately would have if BCG had stayed, but now I'm not so sure. Either way, its going to be a tight squeeze.

Please dont try to sell me the idea that Kentucky views itself in the same realm of the powerhouse that is (holding back tears of laughter) Alabama basketball. You guys take yourself and your program wayyyy too serious. I wouldnt "hate" on Kentucky because frankly, your decision making ability makes it far too much of an easy target.

I actually think this is great for UT. Look, Kentucky was probably gonna get a good coach anyway. Might as well hurt Memphis in the process. This leaves the floodgates open for Bruce to recruit the Memphis area. The Memphis basketball program has taken a major step back.

I agree 100%!!! Cal going to KY gives the SEC a shot in the arm and a breath of fresh air.

Orten wants or wanted to play with Patterson so if Orten doesn't come Patterson might leave as well.
I still think Stewart will leave and williams is gone for sure. Outside chance Porter will leave since he is going to be a dad and will graduate this year.

Sure there are a few others that could leave as well.

Hell no. We absolutely are NOT in the same realm as Alabama.

My point is, Alabama announced a new coach Saturday, we (hopefully) announce one on Monday. You throw this hoopla out there about UK doing this to take away the spotlight, when we did nothing different.

Its not our fault that the national media covers UK under a microscope like this.

You still have Hater ooooozing off of you.
