I watched the news this morning and he was talking about blue blood schools and how Kentucky was definitely one. He then went on to say that Arkansas is also one of those blue blood schools.....

Arkansas a blue blood....? Far from it. I thought, "what the heck did he just say.....? lol

I like him more every time I hear him. 

I’d pay to be in the room when a player asked him, “what about LEO?

The last two men’s title games had the two lowest ratings on record with fewer than 15 million viewers. The women’s title game had nearly 19 million

Guess it depends on what you think would surprise/disappoint us? I’d say I’m extremely confident Smith, Loyer, TKR, Colvin, and Heide are staying and those are the only guys I’d be disappointed in losing tbh.

Don't be shocked if one or two of those enter the portal

Purdue degree is huge but a million dollars is hard to say no too 

What if it was Braden Smith?

I expect there to be one or two more that will surprise and disappoint PU fans

Saw Scott Drew had lunch with a Baylor booster

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. 

Yeah, you shouldn't mess with happy. Drew's making $5M at Baylor. Perfect culture fit. They just built a new arena. With the way he saved the program, they would never have the quick trigger there that KY would, if he had a couple bad years.

Looking forward to the announcement that they’ve hired Pitino, then BBN learns it’s little Ricky

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.

Some of the biggest "misses" have been Indiana kids, both who we've passed on and who we've recruited. But don't get tunnel vision. You can't just take an Indiana kid to appease people. It's not where their from but the "Indiana" intangibles that matter. 

Purdue is loaded with Indiana players, but Edey has covered a lot of flaws. Caleb Furst was a can’t miss prospect who’s a bust. Malik has been much better than Trey Kaufman Renn. Other than 3 point shooting, Gallo’s stats are better than Loyer’s. Would Braden Smith be the same player with Zed Key or Dain Dainja at center?

Replacing Edey won’t be easy of course but it’ll be fun to watch what CMP comes up with. 

I’m sure he’s cooking up something

You can save a lot of souls with the pay that UK is throwing around.

I know a guy who always tithes 10% to his church. He never gambles, but the first time Powerball hit $1 billion he thought about buying a ticket but was conflicted. He told his pastor and said what should I do if I win, that's dirty money. The pastor put his hand on his shoulder and said son, don't worry, just give the money to the church and the Lord will clean it up

I had to laugh when he talked about players needing to hear another voice. It isn't as if many of them were around long enough to have his voice become stale to them.

He never said the players needed to hear another voice. He said the program, the university and the fans. It's clear he knew he had worn out his welcome.

If you're being run out of town, get out front and pretend you're leading a parade.

Clingan can shoot out to the 3pt line…he also is able to move his feet and block shots. Edey can’t play drop coverage in NBa. He has no future and I’m not saying that because he is a Purdue player…would be the same if he played at IU. He will be playing international ball or be a clone of this guy…minus the personality and girl obviously.

Seem like a nice couple, but I just don't think they see eye to eye

IDK. He's a Mormon at BYU. Totally different culture. 

Immediately after toppling No. 7 Kansas earlier this week — arguably the best win of Pope’s five-year BYU tenure — the Cougars’ head coach reflected on the principle of Sabbath day observance and how he views briefly resting from basketball preparation as a blessing.

“Sundays are pretty special for us,” Pope told BYU radio broadcasters Greg Wrubell and Mark Durrant. “I’m believing more and more that our prep on Sunday is probably more important than our prep on Monday. It doesn’t guarantee wins or losses, but I’m just a believer ... we’re fortunate that we have these guidelines to follow.”

Just now, Zlinedavid said:

They are out of their collective rabbit-ass minds.  Oats and Hurley already said not just no but hay-ll no.  Pitino's into his second decade of AARP membership.  Donovan has said he doesn't want to deal with the recruiting aspect. 

Beard wouldn't be a halfway bad choice, although he does have some negative PR baggage. 

Their best choice would be Mark Pope. Take that program in a whole different direction than the Calimari drama. Not sure he'd leave BYU, though.

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.

Hurley addressed the opening with a few jokes, telling reporters he doesn't "think that's a concern" when asked about Kentucky. He added they should ask his wife, Andrea, who is also a native of New Jersey.

"Oh my God, Kentucky or anywhere that's going to take her further from New Jersey," he said when asked about her reaction to a potential move. "I mean, we just went to Rhode Island, which I had to drag her to, and then to Connecticut. I got her closer. And now further? I can't afford a divorce right now, too. I just started making money."

Hurley went on to give some insight into what's next for his program: "Now you're thinking in your brain, as I'm looking at the locker room, about the chance to do it three times, like a dynasty in modern times. I mean, that's what I'm thinking about."
