Valid points. I'm more coming from the angle of the desirable destination. I don't think Orlando is irreplaceable. At face value, I think he's a good recruiter, but I would be interested to see other comparisons similar to the one you raised. Data aside, Kentucky's willingness to fight for him speaks volumes to me.
If they are staying at an alum's place, and if by chance you are reading this post, charge them out the @$$ for their stay if they end up leaving!It must be nice going on a Great Vacation, knowing you are going to get PAID!
When you get back.

Isnt Kentucky offering 2d asst to OA (behind Bruiser Flint) when he is our top asst? You'd think that would count for some 2d thoughts toward Ky for OA...Illinois' willingness to fight is way more telling to me. For UK, Bringing OA back could just be a way for Cal to hush his critics/boosters... shake up his staff and rehire the asst who was here for the good years. It's not like the level or their recruiting will change, they didn't stop getting 5-stars after he left. Meaning for UK it could be more about perception. And what's a few mil for their boosters when it comes to bball. But for us to start throwing around big boy dollars, with Underwood as secure as any coach in the conference, that to me says they've seen first-hand OA's value compared to other assts out there.
Bring Kenny BATTLE, KENDALL GILL and Orange and Blue-NEONDEON THOMAS as men who played a role in the programs wins and illustrious HISTORY!!!!!! BANG.
Kenny slam33 with 30+ messages since starting account at ~0730 this morning....pretty amazing... and entertaining tooIf Sean Miller can do it,. Why can't I. No you can't, Yes I can. No you can't ,YES I CAN
I think we all will, or maybe some here actually enjoy this madness. Either way, I'm kinda grateful it has taken this long to get an answer. If we end up losing OA and/or RC, the blow has been softened, as far as I'm concerned. If we come out on top, the win will have some extra savor to it2nd thread I've said this, I'll be glad when this is done.

I think you're onto something here, my friend.New guess: OA and Chin weren't happy with how Jamall Walker left the program. They liked Jamall so they didn't appreciate how it seemed like he was sent packing to make room for Gentry.
Alternatively: Gentry regularly talks in the third person and it's starting to drive them nuts.
Super-alternatively: Gentry has started referring to all animals, even birds, as "fur-babies." A recent intervention was unsuccessful, which led to OA and Chin simultaneously deciding to "go on vacation" in disgust.

Wow, completely forgot about that happening. I remember things got a little testy after the Walker demotion.not too shabby.....
I have slowly started understanding his posts and it has me a tad nervous now. I may need to check the batteries in my carbon monoxide detectors.Kenny slam33 with 30+ messages since starting account at ~0730 this morning....pretty amazing... and entertaining too
I thought Walker's demotion was a bit of punishment that opened the door for Gentry to walk into. Was he actually just moved aside to make room for Gentry?Wow, completely forgot about that happening. I remember things got a little testy after the Walker demotion.
Or, hopefully longer.
Just going off memory here and my interpretation of how the news broke:I thought Walker's demotion was a bit of punishment that opened the door for Gentry to walk into. Was he actually just moved aside to make room for Gentry?
