Good comparison, but I think UK can get back to being themselves, unlike ucla. Lexington is a college town, and there’s a HUGE audience for UK hoops, both locally and nationally. The timing is hard right now because there isn’t an obvious coaching candidate, the way there was with Calipari years back. But trust me, that UK job remains highly coveted, and they can reemerge.

None of the above is true about ucla.

CSM is just the kind of ruthless motherfucker who would kill it at Kentucky in recruiting, and he’s come around to a more free flowing offensive system and now actually puts up points instead of just trying to prevent them.

He won’t get a call from UK but he’d rock that shit if he did.

Good points, all. We'll see. Personally, I just never liked UKkk; I did like UCLA in the past.

I love Sean too.

If he were coming off a S16 run with Xavier, maybe he’d get a call.

Well, at UK, the more they believe the ESPN lies & rumors about CSM, the better his chances!!

Of course, but this was always going to be a down year just because of the talent he had available to work with.

CSM would in no way win the press conference (especially since there’s no way anyone would believe he was even their third choice - so they’d be hiring him after a few high profile rejections) but he’d win Big Blue Nation over eventually. Of that, I have no doubt.

One of the things Sean proved at AZ was that if he's given the job at a premier program, he can bring in just about any player/class he wants, with very few exceptions. Ayton, Gordon, Stan Johnson, RHJ, Lauri...his recruiting at AZ was spectacular. Put him at UK, and it would be a lot like Calipari being there.

Word on the interweb is Hurley been offered 11 mil a year. That’s insane. No wonder inflation won’t go away….

Posted: **Tue Apr 09, 2024 5:48 pm**

Billy Donovan would be a home run hire. But Donovan left Florida because he didn't enjoy recruiting any more. And this was before the transfer portal and NIL. I don't see him going back to the college game. Drew from Baylor would be one coach that would take the job, and Baylor could hire brother Bryce, who just won GCU's first ever NCAA tournament game.

Kentucky fans found the restaurant Scott Drew was having lunch with a booster and flooded the reviews.

Look at the last hour reviews - It’s pretty hilarious

I think there's a better chance of Bronny being a lotto pick than there is of Lloyd being the next Kentucky coach.

He wants it but family isn’t sold. Sounds like a good family man who doesn’t prioritize himself.

Wonder who’s on the second list. Sean Miller keeps popping up. After Xavier doing him a solid by rehiring him, leaving would be pretty low

Posted: **Thu Apr 11, 2024 9:04 am**

Drews family has lived in the Waco area for 20 years. The children grew up there. The family considers it home and doesn't want to leave. I think that is a solid decision. Money isn't everything.

I think CSM could do some top-notch coaching there, but might have a rougher go culturally.

His hire at this point, would seem to many a lot like the hiring of Mick Cronin at UCLA...

But, in Lute's case, it was family, Bobbie, in particular, who nixed the deal.

What a rollercoaster for Kentucky fans!

Posted: **Thu Apr 11, 2024 9:41 am**

I'm not at all worried about Lloyd taking that job, for two reasons:

1. Didn't he say that Arizona was the only program he would have left Gonzaga for?

2. If he did take the first satchel of money that is thrown at him, he would show that he is no better than Fisch.

Kentucky just needs to hire the one man perfect for the job, Rick Pitino

Posted: **Thu Apr 11, 2024 9:45 am**

The calls for his (Tommy) name is getting a little louder. Could be from clueless media types and certain fans. But Kentucky’s AD could be getting desperate. It’s not a good look right now for him. Desperate people do funny things.

The biggest problem with Kentucky is they have one of the most insane fanbases in the country. They were calling the Mexican restaurant to confirm he was there after he tweeted that picture yesterday.

Not saying Drew couldn't handle it, but I bet it was a turn off for the rest of the family, especially his wife.

This right here is why I’m not even worried about Tommy being considered. Why would he want to be part of that circus? He likes a more quiet life which he’d never have at Kentucky.

The first game he loses at Kentucky, and during the post game with reporters, saying something like the players gave it their all but the other team was just better……pitch forks from their fans will be out

His personality definitely won’t fly with that insane fan base.

Well their plane went to NYC this morning so, either doing some shopping or maybe they're finally gonna take a stab at Pitino?

Lots of grass in Lexington, but closes to family, Amy would probably be cool with it.
