It doesn't matter. UK had the money ready buyout Cal, the AD just decided not to.Oats just got an extension. His buyout is like $20million.

Jim Boeheim comes out of retirement to coach at UK!it's gonna be pitino isn't it?
That’s why there’s only one guy to fix UK.Arkansas has more NIL money than Kentucky. Kentucky isn’t exactly top tierNIL program, because they didn’t have to be. They were fueled and funded by cal and his gang and boosters. A fat Nil cupboard on top of his “people” following him is a bigger bag than he’s ever had.
I’ve seen some people say they don’t see much potential dominoes with players because they’ll follow everyone/their coaches. I’m not so sure about that. Obviously some will follow cal because the bag. But this is a chain reaction, and not every player from every team will end up at their old school or with their old coach.
Cal to Arkansas, where do all the Kentucky guys end up? Where are the remaining Arkansas guys that don’t follow muss going?
Oates/Hurley/drew/etc to Kentucky, where do all those guys who don’t follow go?
Whoever replaces that huge job of alabama, uconn, Baylor, etc where will those players go who don’t follow?
My point is it goes ON AND ON AND ON. It started with the usc job and now we’re here, with more to follow. Players will continue to open up.
Dream scenario, uconn loses tonight and he bounces.
Don't doubt it. I'm sure there will be a lot of rumors swirling now...although the potential candidate lists being thrown around is only a handful of coaches and Hurley is on that list.That’s the guy who’s made up headlines in the past.
yeah just glancing thru this guy's twitter feed and he's a clownThat’s the guy who’s made up headlines in the past.
Nonsense, he's an "esteemed sports journalist" with a PHD in female anatomy.That’s the guy who’s made up headlines in the past.
Rick Pitino - that would be interesting.
UK fans have come around - they didn’t like the way Cal was doing it latelyPeople also think Dan Hurley has always dominated. It took him several years of building to get to this point. He did the same at Rhode Island. UK doesn’t have the patience for building.
Oats may be the best bet to hit the ground running. He can recruit and does well with the portal. But even he is not perfect and has had a couple mediocre seasons.
It will be interesting if Cal decides to keep riding the large, highly rated recruiting classes to fill his roster with young players or if he will change & go all in on the portal (NIL$) to create the best transfer roster possible at Arkansas.
They just didn’t like the results. He was still killing it in recruiting. Had 10/11 NBA players in the last 4yrs with one tournament victory. He was never a great in game coach. But he got really bad these past few seasons.UK fans have come around - they didn’t like the way Cal was doing it lately
Roster construction has been one of, if not his biggest flaw at Kentucky.They just didn’t like the results. He was still killing it in recruiting. Had 10/11 NBA players in the last 4yrs with one tournament victory. He was never a great in game coach. But he got really bad these past few seasons.
Winning cures all ills. But unfortunately for Cal he wasn’t getting it done when it counted.
Sounds familiar?Roster construction has been one of, if not his biggest flaw at Kentucky.
Yes, exactly. They were tired of the constant churning of players when they don’t win.They just didn’t like the results. He was still killing it in recruiting. Had 10/11 NBA players in the last 4yrs with one tournament victory. He was never a great in game coach. But he got really bad these past few seasons.

The best case ever!! Especially the UConn lossDream scenario, uconn loses tonight and he bounces.
What will happen, they win and he stays for 30 more years and his son takes over for another 40
