John Calipari to KY (merged)

[TXA&M07]

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.

You poor thing you. :cray:

 

[myrobbins7]

Also, they said that the Memphis wish list is now

(in no particular order)

Pearl
Mike Anderson
Tony Barbee
Baylor Coach (name escapes me)

Mike Anderson's name has been popping up a lot today in Memphis.

 

[GoVols2003]

i dont know whether to take this seriously or not

You should. They said the press conference should be this afternoon.

This about as solid as you can get without hearing Calipari saying it himself.

 

[VolBeef88]

That's some good $$$$$. If true, Congrats Cal. you would be a fool not to take it.

Who would you want to take Cals spot? Mike Anderson would be scary there.

I like Coach Anderson a lot. I think he would do good in Memphis.

You poor thing you. :cray:

You give up your arguement and revert to this. :thumbsup:

That settles it. Ding ding.

Hater.

You know, its ok to say it.

Now that the ink is all but dry on this one, let's get to the real issue.

What will CALISKING's new user name be?

 

[GoVols2003]

My thoughts are that they would not be willing to pay enough for Bruce to make him leave. That is pay enough that we could not counter. Also, with the new ESPN contract, TN will be have national coverage all the time and I really think that like Calipari, Pearl likes that.

I would say that they would have a better shot at Anderson.

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.

yeah, I had forgotten about williams.

Also, there was talk of Porter not leaving but giving up his scholarship and taking some type of Graduate/academic grant or something. but I have nothing to back that up, it was just discussed on some boards.

I wonder what this does with Joe Jackson. It was pretty common knowledge around Memphis that he was a Memphis lock prior to this.

Mike Anderson is a hell of a coach. I really like how his teams play. Against Memphis they just never seemed to be out of place and were very disciplined and seemed to know exactly what Anderson wanted them to do.

Would Memphis dare to contact Nolan Richardson?

 

[VolBeef88]

Would Memphis dare to contact Nolan Richardson?

That would be awsome. Talk about pissing off Arky fans.

Hyams is saying 6yrs/$40mil

Apparently, the recruits that signed with Memphis back in the fall had addendum's that stated Memphis would have to release them and allow them to follow Cal should he leave.

 

[Bassmanbruno]

Mike Anderson won't be going to C-USA again.

 

[GoVols2003]

Hyams is saying 6yrs/$40mil

consider the source

 

[JZVOL]

Hyams is saying 6yrs/$40mil

The best advice I could give you is to not listen to a word he says.

 

[Bassmanbruno]

I do not understand why Cal would go to UK... surely he has enough cash.

 

[VolBeef88]

Yes me. I posted it earlier. Does that mean I should start a blog and post a link to it on this site?

Im not sure, but no matter what happens the whole program will take a hit just because of Cal leaving.

 

[JonWard]

When determinining winners and losers in this deal, there is no doubt Tiger High is taking it to the chin.

If Hyams said it then I dont believe it. I will trust you more, but since I just heard from the Memphis AD 5yr/25mil, I am going to have to trust that at this time because they have not let me down before.
