    It’ll be Pope

    Pope is different like Drew is. Hes a god first guy. He might not be a fit either as strange as that sounds. Mormon at a Mormon school. I know if and when BD turns it down(he may not even be offered) they will be deep in tier 2-3 territory.

    We know uk will get a coach eventually. The problem is the longer it goes the more it eats into uk fan's psychey. How can anyone say no to them?

    We also know once they hire someone their fans will declare it the best choice; their real first choice; and the savior. It's too predictable.

    Hurley has now said no.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if it isn't Oates. I know he’s said he’s not interested, but I’m sure he could be convinced now that Hurley and Drew have said no. 

     

     

     

     

     

    Won’t be. Alabama donors gave him NIL. UK for some reason doesn’t actually have the NIL many thought. That stuff gets around. It’s still a lot but IU has more. Insane isn’t it.

    Scott Drew turns down Kentucky….who’s next on the list…Nate Oates, Chris Beard, Bruce Pearl?

    They are throwing the who bag to Hurley. He will say no. Mitch does not like Pearl or Beard. Pope is like Drew in a way off the court. Going to get a rude awakening. Plus their NIL isn’t as rich as many thought. IU actually has more.

    Sounds like they went to see Drew, but he didn’t come to Lexington?

    On Wednesday morning, a plane belonging to JC Land LLC — a company owned by Joe Craft, according to business records with the Kentucky Secretary of State — flew to the Waco area. The aircraft was headed back to Lexington later Wednesday morning and scheduled to land around noon. Craft is UK Athletics’ biggest booster and a major donor to the university.

    Probably offered, talked but Drew has deep ties to Baylor. Wife is an introvert. Kids are in school and only know Waco. This is not a slam dunk imho. I predicted they will whiff on their top 3 choices. We will see.

    Drew is one they have a legit shot with.  Baylor is only mid-pack in the B12 in terms of endowment and Waco is out in the middle of bumf**k nowhere.  He'd have a lot more resources at his disposal and he'd be closer to home. 

    Drew is the least likely imho. Hes so entrenched in Baylor Christian principles. Some would say he’s a fanatical. (Faith healing, speak in tongues etc). He’s exactly at the place he fits in my opinion. He wants his players saved first before basketball. Is it a bad thing? Just not a fit at a lot of public universities.

    I seen some think they have a legit shot at Hurley. Stranger things have happened,  but I just don't see it. I've also heard from down here that Oats has told them no at least twice.

    I’ve got a bet with a coworker that UK won’t get oats, Hurley or Drew. Also bet him IU will have a better record.

    I’d argue they proved it against everyone minus UConn. UConn was just on another level. They held up fine against a solid Tennessee defense.  

    NC state got every shot they wanted. Just couldn’t hit them. Purdue had the same problem with UConn. Stopped you cold on D too.
