This infers, of course, poaching from their own conference.
I'm not a fan of that.
(But in this case, I do hope it comes to fruition.)

I haven't seen Underwoods name come up from anyone besides Illinois fans. Kentucky fans would riot.

I guess Trilly was correct and wasn't just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.

I truly think that UK comes down to Brad and Sean … Dark horse that no one’s talking about: Todd Golden …
I think Drew stays at Baylor … I really do … Drew’s all like PRIVATE schools …
And I think Billy stays in the NBA …

Per his contract … If he leaves … They owe him nothing and he owes them nothing …

On the flip side, if Alabama Basketball can fend off Kentucky, than maybe Illinois Basketball can, too. IF we could match Kentucky's offer, I would not assume Brad leaves. He might, but it's not a no-brainer. He has a good situation here.

Not really where I thought things would be headed tonight.

I mentioned yesterday … Ideally we needed it to be Oats …
That would’ve been best case scenario for us …
What are the odds Brad is here in two weeks? 70%?

Unless you want Sean instead of Brad at Illinois, I suppose...
But if Brad goes, we get Sean.
If Brad stays, we get Brad.
Why are we nervous?

Do you think Kentucky fans would be happier with Sean? Sort of seems they want more. I would think they would see Brad as very underwhelming.. even though we know he is an ELITE coach.
Sean & Golden would be my top 2 for us …
Kentucky will be half happy/half upset no matter who they hire …

A bird in the hand...
But man, if either option could end up with CF, TA, and OA all on the staff like you all have hinted is possible...
Agree
You are tight with Sean. Would Sean have interest in the KY job?
Not at all where I thought we would be, but in some ways this is pretty complimentary. UK took two assistants and we reloaded. Now they could have interest in our coach too? We are doing something right and honestly if Sean would be the next guy, that’s not a downgrade by any means….that being said… I want Brad to stay.
Yeah, Scott Drew just seems all wrong for Kentucky. He’s turned down big jobs before..and not left.
I like that Arkansas and Kentucky have both publicly whiffed. Lol
Apparently it isn’t gonna happen but I think Beard & Musselman would have been scariest (in this era) with Kentucky resources. JMO
