It’s kind of a win win if Kentucky’s Calipari actually goes to Arky. For them I mean. Kentucky gets rid of a guy they had lost faith in and didn’t really want any longer without having to pay the huge buyout. Arkansas gets a name with (perhaps unwarranted) national prestige. Gives the appearance they are a major player.
And Kentucky gets Nate Oats.
My bammer friends are convinced Bruce Pearl has already signed a contract. There, at Louisville, and at Ohio State.
My serious guess....it will either be Billy the old kid or Scott Drew to the BBN.
An old name. Would they actually pull the lever on Pitino again?
Please to be leaving Calipari alone while he walks his dog.
That name is being thrown out a lot, but it's all speculation at this point. One guy I think would kick booty there is Creighton Coach, Greg McDermott. The guy has a great system and does a ton with lesser talent. (Okay, white guys)
Mark Pope???All of the biggest names in college basketball, from Hurley to Drew to Pitino, Pearl, Oats and Donovan from the NBA....and Kentucky hires BYU's coach? A collective, "WHAT THE...?" was heard streaming out of Big Blue Country.
Is it done? Every bammer I know swears there is a back channel deal for Pearl.
It's being reported on like it's a done deal. Not equating the two as coaches, but this is similar to the Harsin hire. 25 names bandied about for the Auburn position, and then out of the blue....Bryman Hatpin.
Thats because....you know, Allen Greene.
Think it's more like the Mike Shula hire.
