You’re definitely dropping, what are your thoughts of Buzz Peterson leaving a football school for a basketball school? Seems like he has some personality. Is he of that caliber?

Final Four Magic run not enough to talk anybody into the Keatts hype train again?

Shaka at UK? Don’t see that working either.

Any chance they could pry Sampson from Houston? Houston seems like such a good fit for him but UK is about the only college job I could see him leaving for. If I’m Mitch and Oats/Drew shoot me down he’s in my next tier of calls with Brad and Sean.

It might be soft to run away from a challenge. It's probably not soft to run toward one. Certain things can make top tier jobs easier, but other things can make them significantly more difficult. Brad wouldn't be taking the UK job because he's giving up; he would be taking it because he wants to take on the challenge. It's the opposite of backing down.

It’s not a challenge to show he can get past the first weekend more than once??

I think since everyone can pay players legally now it’s lost its secret weapon. Now they lose a coach who was basically an NBA factory and as a coach you have to go in and deal with the most delusional and entitled fans on the planet. I think they’re going to end up with someone with Kentucky ties, like Pope.

I just have a really hard time seeing Drew or Billy at UK ...

Oats is out ... Otz would not take it ... Hurley would use it as leverage on UCONN maybe ... But does he even need it ?

Brad and Sean ... Golden ? I mean who else is realistic ... Curious if you guys have any names you might think about if you were AD ?

There’s no way Musselman could finagle out of his contract, right? I’m guessing he would have been interested in Kentucky if it weren’t for the timing?

He’s splashy enough, has an NBA family pedigree …and is proven in the era of NIL.
That would have been hilarious too. Because it would have just been a flip flop of coaches between Ark. & Kentucky. Lol

How about Mark Few?

I get the feeling he’d be another Scott Drew type situation. He’s got it too good where he is I would imagine.

Here’s a dark horse choice for ya:
Geno Auriemma?lol

Underrated as hell. But he’s getting up there & he’d be a fool to go there at this juncture undoubtedly. It would be funny to see the fan reaction.

Would Hurley turn down 15 mil/yr from Kentucky? Can UConn come even close to matching that?
