This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Geno’s 3 wins behind her and she had six seasons on him. Assuming he doesn’t decide to walk away this offseason he is 100% a lock to pass her

Kentucky fans are tracking a private jet from Waco to Lexington. Most seem to want Hurley, but let's be real, he ain't leaving UConn. Donovan hasn't been a college coach in years and has never had to deal with NIL and the portal, so I was never sold on him actually being able to succeed. Nate Oats seemed to take himself off the table, and I don't know that Barnhart was high on him anyway with all the off the court gun stuff last year. Scott Drew may not he the flashiest hire, but it seems like he's been Barnhart's main target, and he built Baylor from nothing to a contender, so I'm willing to give him a shot with the resources Kentucky has. What's the worst that could happen, one tournament win over a four year stretch?

Yeah that's where I'm leaning. Being exposed to Kentucky fans probably wouldn't help Beard's domestic problems.

In any case he apparently already turned down Arkansas before they hired Cal, so it sounds like he's staying put at Ole Miss.

Soooo many Kentucky fans on Twitter are really really convinced they're gonna get Dan Hurley, and that any news to the contrary including Hurley himself saying he is staying put at UConn is a fake news deep state hoax.

Dan is probably getting a money truck backed up to his place as we speak, why the gently caress would he leave?

Is this right?
As a Kentucky fan, I'm much more skeptical that UK is going to hire anyone that will satisfy the basketball bennies. The insanity of this fanbase w/r/t basketball is going to destroy anyone without a Cal-sized ego. And nobody with a Cal-sized ego is going to want to immediately follow Cal.

NIL is a significant issue at UK because UK sold its media rights to JMI Entertainment back in 2010 or so. Any business that might consider entering into an NIL deal has to pay $250,000 to JMI on top of the negotiated NIL to the player if the intent is to use any UK branding at all in the advertising. Outside of Morgan & Morgan, there aren't any local ads or businesses advertising with fball or bball kids because JMI is the logo landlord.

i don't think Kentucky will have a Sidney Lowe hiring process (publicly rejected by multiple candidates of decreasing status before frantically reaching out to a former legend who's not even really qualified for the job) but it would be extremely funny if they did

Their sbnation site’s comments seem focused on Donovan, though some people still think Hurley is a possibility.

As a UConn fan I’m still a tiny bit nervous, but I feel like he’ll probably announce he’s staying at the victory parade on Saturday

They keep saying that the plane flew into LaGuardia to pick up Hurley. Feel like there's a better chance that it's Pitino since St. John's is like 12 miles away from LGA.

Here's my thoughts on the coaching search: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have no say it, but I'm going to pull for my team to win no matter who it is. Just please no Chris Beard. I don't care about violating NCAA rules because gently caress the NCAA pay the players, but gently caress domestic abusers more.

So Drew is out, Hurley is out, Oats is out, Donovan is out, Pearl is probably out.
