Billy Donovan to Kentucky? NM

Ain’t happening.

Why would Danny want to coach at a school that reportedly had fans that during the 1950s and early 1960s would spit on the visiting team’s African American players as the visiting players walked under the bleachers to reach the court?
 
If they don’t get their top guy (Dan), 2nd guy (Oats), 3rd guy (Donovan) or even their 4th guy (Drew)… after being spurned by Cal (albeit likely mutually)….

It will say about their program, what they tried to say about us by going after Hurley.

You aren’t the top dogs today my blue-blooded friends, and your blue-blood doesn’t run quite as blue as ours.

What are you talking about here? How is Danny relevant to Billy Donovan?

Excuse Me What GIF by Bounce
 
I could see it. Donovan's career has gone sideways in the NBA and he could win big at Kentucky and get paid. Seems like a smart career move to me.

The comments here about money always make me wonder about the kind of lifestyle to which Boneyarders have become accustomed.

Specifically, statements that would suggest Billy Donovan has no money and would need to go to Kentucky............

You do realize its 2024 and garbage like that at that time happened just about everywhere. Point being this thread was talking about Billy Donovan not Hurley.

FYI this INANE post is being repeatedly posted on the UK message board, so thanks for making us look like the classless fans.

Did you just wake up from a coma? They’ve had 9,000 black players since then.
 
I live amongst many kentucky fans. Many. And despite what some may feel about the team, I can usually count on the fans to talk knowledgeably about the sport.
 
Hurley seems to be a man bound by loyalty. He is clearly appreciated and compensated fairly by the university. I doubt he would leave us for any other college program - the NBA in a few years? Maybe, but not UK.

P.S. I looked at their board and wow, they’re a delusional bunch. Money this, history that, blue blood brand, etc. I have to say, taking two championships from them may be just as satisfying as taking them from Duke.

You sounds dumber than the average Kentucky grad

Biggest concern with Hurley, and he is smart, is if he sees the college economic landscape leaving UConn behind and being massively disadvantaged. Greenberg just came out with a massage piece this morning on Get Up. That said, unlikely to impact Hurley in the next 4-5 years, of which he may then be ready to take an NBA job.

Don’t think it’s a Kentucky problem as much as a bit of a shift overall in the NIL/portal era. If you can raise NIL funds, it’s way easier for a good coach to elevate a program like Alabama than it used to be and a bunch of coaches have been prioritizing being in a comfortable position over a “premier” job and top dollar. I mean it definitely doesn’t help for Kentucky that the fanbase came out of the Cal fiasco looking absolutely terrible and they no longer have quite the same leg up with boosters willing to pay players when everyone is doing it.
 
The answer is Bruce Pearl. He has always been the best choice. He has the charisma, coaching acumen, energy, and he is dirty as a snake stuck in the mud. Perfect fit for UK.

Is the generative AI you use to write your posts set to “pro Kentucky“?

Saying Calipari is a good recruiter (and nothing more) and that Uk fans don’t spit on black players makes me pro-UK? OK dude.

I haven’t rooted for Kentucky in a game since the one Laettner beat them in. But you do you.
