Wish we’d post an “anticipated opening” or whatever to get the clock started on our hires.
I would be surprised if Underwood hasn't already had discussions with potential hires and maybe even have an offer out to at least one assistant.

This is so interesting that Ayo would only pay respects to Chin and not OA.
If Ayo isn't mad, how can we be?
When players transfer, I wish them the best and hope they find success. In this case, I know it's business. I don't wish Kentucky success. I don't like Kentucky (or Louisville), and I live in Kentucky...but, I wish Chin happiness and appreciate the job he did at Illinois.
Chin and Orlando are gone. Cannot sign replacements until June.

Why not until June?

Is this because of State law? Because I'm pretty sure the Lovie, Underwood, and Bielema hirings show otherwise.

Chin is a Chicago guy, nothing to see here.
Glad it's over

Still. His relationship with both of them has grown here for years. And let's not forget how close the team has been the last whole year.

Chet reminds me of Chet Walker, "Chet the Jet"... Bradley and Bulls great...7x NBA All-star...2x Consensus first-team All-American.

seriously. Wake me up for the first game. Not interested in the inevitable coaching search threads followed by attempts to spin hires into “sneaky home runs” who can really recruit Europe for us.*
*I’ll be glued to the threads.
It’s hard to spin how thoroughly disappointing the last couple of months have been for this program. Did not envision this in February.

If it was just one, I could see your point..."hard to argue", but forgive me but I think this is worth ...arguing...or at least being incredibly disappointed.
Both got great opportunities here....
Chin is most disappointing....hope he gets buried at the end of the bench behind Bruiser.

I mean barring us losing more players, this hasn't been all that disappointing of an off-season. Kentucky has the funds and a coach that has experience at all levels, who knows how to get AC's to the NBA. This was bound to happen eventually. Meanwhile, we've added some solid recruits and transfers to keep us in the top 25 again next year.
As long as we hang on to the recruits and the commits this is not that big of a deal
