OT: New Kentucky Assistants

[navery12]

When you know you're staring down the barrel of mediocrity without him

Only question is if the $1M is his salary or recruiting budget

 

[BGesus4]

Paying to keep secrets quiet maybe ?

I read this like 4 times to make sure I was seeing that correctly...... holy s***

FWIW their top recruit is Luke Goode, a wing who's a good shooter and was recruited by Luke Murray at Louisville

Murray heavily recruited their transferring SG Adam Miller.

I'd take him in a heartbeat too, just assumed he'd follow Coleman to Kentucky

If assistants are starting to get a mil salary we are screweddddd

 

[navery12]

Hopefully it's just rumors and it's not true

 

[Ajs120102]

In regards to some rumors about Terrance Clarke. It’s just rumors right now can’t confirm anything. Really wanna stress that. Just thought it was relevant to post bc of Bouk.

I am praying this isn’t true. My heart breaks for him and his family right now. I feel sick.

I mean Kenny Payne was the previous highest making 950k before the Knicks hired him. This doesn’t shock me that now we’re at 1M for top recruiters.

Sheeeeesh. Kentucky must have given him a steep offer if he turned down the $1+ million a year from Illinois

Illinois better not touch any of our assistants

Tom is going nowhere.

Not sure how leaving would benefit Kimani at this point. He just needs a few more years then a HC gig

Did we lose our Assistant Opening thread?!?

Money talks.

Money talks.

Honestly for Tom it won't barring a huge offer. He loves Tolland and his kids are in the area and everything. He's 56 years old. His next move will be to a golf course in Florida, I'd think.

Certainly the potential that someone could offer Kimani more money, but there are very few assistants making 320k+. Any substantial raise would be him in the top 10 best paid coaches in the country potentially.

Which I think he deserves. But obviously I want him to stay to help our program

Yeah I meant Kimani. I'm only worried because of how much they were willing to pay Antigua. They might be willing to pay 500k to keep a strong New York connection for all we know. Would put Kimani even closer to a head job as well.

I think so

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Let Antigua break Underwood's heart, and, if the other presumed news is so, may Watts join another underperforming Calipari team and shoot poorly.

 

[CL82]

Losing Orlando would be a big blow to Illinois

Isn’t Orlando in Florida?

 

[rollskies]

speaking of kentucky

 

[Umami Zen]

Probably doesn't like Cal recruiting over him with Rocket
