Mike and Mike show this morning teased that there was a Donovan rumor out there, and that it was not UK. I never saw them discuss it. Anyone know what the heck they were talking about?

I am sure that there is a ton of rumor out there that is gaining legs as fact. I would think Billy D would prefer the Knicks, but the Heat makes some sense, too, I suppose. Be a cheaper moving fan.

The new numbers flying around Lexington are 7 year 24.5 million dollar deal with an extra 3.5 million of incentives.

If Billy passes on a possible 4 million a year and stays at Florida, what is Meyer's worth?

Tom Leach on FSR said the rumor mill had Kentucky preparing a package of $28 million for 7 years.

They are killing the catpause.com posters on the radio for saying that Donovan was about to sign a deal and that his wife was homesick for UK. They are saying that Donovan has been negotiating his extension at UF and his wife is from Long Island, NY so going to the Knicks is more plausible than going to UK

It is out of control. People in KY are convinced that Donovan's wife is from Lexington.

In semi-related news, foxsports is reporting that A&M is in negotiations to extend Billie Gillespie in a deal which, if finalized, would make him the highest paid coach in the Big XII at over $2 million per year.

I got the impression in San Antonio that the Aggies had no intent of letting Billy Clyde get away.

I thought for sure Gillipsie would be heading to Kentucky or Arkansas. Smart move for A&M for not letting him leave.

I thought Kentucky might interest him. He's way too smart to work for Frank Broyles and his Court of Cluleless Idiots in Fayettenam.

If UK can't get Donovan, who becomes the #1 target?

Tom Izzo?
Jay Wright?
go the mid-major route?

I have a hard time understanding why Izzo would be interested in the job past the point that it would serve as a negotiating tool in East Lansing.

Anyone still see it as possible that Donovan will go? I've not seen a firm statement by him that he would not consider it.
 
He's gonna wait til the Gators lose to UCLA Saturday evening, then accept the UK job next Wednesday.
