Big Blue Nation having a very normal Tuesday

Let's wait to see who is hired before we celebrate. Sometimes coaches not being considered or who are about to be passed over release a statement like this.

If they end up with Pitino (joking, sort of), yeah, he passed on Kentucky. If they end up with someone more exciting, he didn't.

Scott Drew just said pass and will return to Baylor. You would think it would've been a no brainer to take the UK job for Drew if it was as good of a gig UK fans think it is.
 
the hog board may surpass southern canada for yucks

"Cali-par-e or Cali-pair-e. Ok is it pronounced at the end with par-e or pair-e? Or does everyone just do their own thing like Malzhan or Malazhan? Just to be clear, a little sarcasm here not at Coach Cal but the half of Hog fans that will get it wrong no matter what."

"Think it's supposed to rhyme with calamari. Guess we will find out soon enough"

BWAAAHAHAHAHA

Cali-par-e or Cali-pair-e

Cali-par-e or Cali-pair-e

Scott Drew supposedly told UK no. :p

so much for everyone running to take the UK job
 
If the likes of Donovan, Pearl, and Wright say no…is there any chance Kentucky pivots to a hot current assistant coach?

0.0% chance. You need an established brand coach or you risk having an absolutely awful roster. Players/recruits follow coaches. They aren't following unknown up and coming assistants. That would be a disaster for BBN.

Ok so this plane must have been to meet Hurley.

Only two options - meet Hurley and agent, or just a Craft biz trip. I don't know that there's much reason for a coal magnate to go to NYC for business, and since the plane hasn't been up there all year, I'd wager this is indeed a Hurley gathering.
 
Kentucky is a one and done school that doesn't develop players. Kentucky booster plane lands in NYC. Local school has commitments from 2 5* recruits. I'm just brainstorming.

There's another coach in NYC who would sell his soul (if he hadn't already) l to return to Kentucky

Pitino?

Why would a plane land at LGA--2.5 hours from Storrs without traffic--instead of landing at BDL if it were for Hurley?
Expand ...
Storrs South man....Dan Hurley spends most of his time there ;)

"'.... they don't want to follow Cal". I know a lot of people everywhere, including this board, the BoneYard, rip on Calipari, but one thing is a fact is that Calipari has the respect of his coaching peers and he is friends with a lot of them and communicates with them on a somewhat frequent basis. Calipari will tell them in private conversations the garbage he has to put up with in dealing with that Kentucky fanbase.

With the amount of money they are “allegedly” throwing around, you are not looking for a guy that will come in and build a program. You are looking for overnight, huge success.

So not only are you following Cal….you are taking on the impossible task of an overnight rebuild.

They make Philly and (Oakland) Raiders fans look like saints. I mean, what lunatics send death threats over a game and trespass on a coaches lawn???

Yes they're already saying things like "who cares if he leaves for the NBA in a few years if he wins a couple championships"

The expectations are nuts. And if you don't meet them you're public enemy #1

UK has a larger fan base than Uconn, and they will outdraw us in any neutral site venue, including MSG. With that said, they'll outdraw just about ANY other school.
Expand ...
Heck, Indiana outdrew us last fall at MSG. It was impressive.
