-
Things see to be matching up. — FitzGerald saying no, that Tang was in Phoenix where the final four i being played— -well umm was being said that Tang and his wife was flying out tonight to finalize the deal to become head Coach- -So Fitz saying Tang is in Phoenix - just so happens the Arkansas Ad is also in Phoenix - - -hmmm
-
BREAKING NEWS: Tang announced Head Coach at NASA! NASA officials excited to bring the high-sugar, artificially-flavored drink back into the fold.
-
Jesus
Tang’s bagRising during Easter
-
@drgnslayr nice.
-
Very interesting Tang has announced that he is staying at KSU. My Arkansas guy says they want Brad Underwood or Andy Kennedy and never even got legs with Tang.
-
CAL TO ARKANSAS MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING
-
@FarmerJayhawk what?
-
Should be announced some time tomorrow. Going to be really interesting to see who UK ends up going after. Gotta believe their first call will be to Dan Hurley. Could also see them going after Bruce Pearl.
-
-
And, isn’t it just like Calipari to take the spotlight away right before the championship?
-
Wonder who Kentucky will go after
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Oats, Hurley, Drew, Jay Wright?
-
Phil Jackson is only 78
-
I think jay is really happy where he’s at!
-
@FarmerJayhawk if drew left would tang threaten to leave to get more money and then stay?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 if God tells him to
-
Hearing Scott Drew will be the first and only call from random posters of the internet
-
I’d guess the Kentucky recruits follow Cal not Kentucky. Anyone?
-

Likely they will
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yeah Jayden quaintance dad said they’re rocking with cal earlier and he’s the only guy we care about in that class
-
Truly shocking turn of events there
-
WOW , friend told me this morning . I mean I knew from reading their boards frequently that the Kentucky fan base was not happy at all with him, and wanted him gone , then again when is the Kentucky fan base ever happy.
My friend I were talking and I said yes, I know he might not of been the best when it came to game time , and game time decision making on the floor at times , you know for the amount of talent he has had come through, you would think could of been much better results , BUT one of the biggest reasons this talent came there was because of Coach Cal and his ability to get them to the NBA. A fact my friend saw to verify that was in Calipari’s 15 yrs at Kentucky is during that time he had thirty five players taken in the FIRST ROUND on the NBA draft- - - THIRTY FIVE , that’s crazy. Again might not of been the best X’s & O’s during game but still got kids where they wanted to end up.
One thing about Cal walking away is he saved Kentucky around 35 Million but leaving instead of the University having to pay him. With him walking Kentucky owes him nothing. - – It’s going to be real interesting what happens with many of the current members on the roster & the what happens with the incoming class. Again had I think either the number one or Numbe two ranked recruiting class this coming year, now what happens ? - I bet the fan base is going nuts. Sure they wanted him out BUT he left alright lol and went to another SEC school lmao - -talk about him throwing salt in an open wound – gotta love it.
-
@rcjhdraft how many in this years class are going pro-cals boys? Wonder if Arkansas guys are following coach. Crazy.
-
I’ve heard rumors the Iowa State coach Otzelnerger might be in the mix for KY, ARK or any other openings that might come up. It’s like a game of dominoes though…

A lot of Kentucky fan base off their boards feel like they will lose just about everyone on their roster except Perry. They feel a few will follow Calipari-- Feel they have lost their entire incoming recruiting class of 6.
Some feel that like most a few will stay upon who the new Coach is, they feel like you can take it to the bank Sheppard is entering the NBA
-
The names being thrown out for new Coach : the top two being mentioned the most are - - Nate Oats, & Scott Drew. - A lot of people are hoping it’s not Drew, said would be a terrible hire, I don’t think Scott goes there BUT a lot think that’s who they think Mitch WILL HIRE calling it a safe hire.
Others mentioned , a lot of people say they want to see go after the main one is Hurley from U Conn - - – Jay Wright - -Billy Donavon - - -Sampson was mentioned but said he was to old - - - -Bruce Pearl.
They said their # 1 - they want is to throw the bank at HURLEY make him say no, – Then Oates if Hurley says no-- -gonna be interesting
-
I could see Bruce pearl.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2024 Coaching Carousel:

Supposedly Barhart doesn’t want someone who’s had a show-cause penalty before so he may not be looking at Pearl even though that would be good fit for both parties.
-
They were talking about Oates and saying his buyout is 18 Mil - - Scott Drew is only 4 million, lt of talk about Drew , not a lot of Kentucky fan base would be happy with that hire BUT Mitch Barnhardt they say might hire him anyways a a safe hire – -I don’t think Scott would go.
Was talking might be ok, but what if he is not winning ? --would be ugly
-
First question is who is paying his buy out?
-
@kjayhawks said in 2024 Coaching Carousel:

If you’re referring to Calipari, there is no buyout on his deal for this move.
-
And so it begins for Kentucky. - - - -Aaron Bradshaw one of the 7 footers that saw quite a bit of playing time transferring out.- -One of many I’m sure
-
Overrated player tbh
-
Per Sidelines-Arkansas X account “Arkansas now has 0 scholarship players on the roster and 1 incoming Freshman.”
Lots of playing time available.

1st of many that will be gone. Fanbase thinks all 6 of recruiting will be gone from Kentucky and lose just about everyone other then Perry. - -Being said Barnhardt better have already had a list made of of potential replacements, could be a long couple of yeas.
Fan base saying go to the portal get 9-10 transfers and win immediately guys that are mature and mess. - Well it’s not just that simple-- -takes time to find right players. I don’t think Kentucky can get 9-10 players like that from portal - -to many and to many other schools dipping into portal
-
Joey Hart Uk - -entering portal ( Surprise ) - -5 * - – Catrre Know - -re-opening his recruitment Uk- -so that’s three right off the bat, they said they thought they could lose entire roster other then Perry.- - off to a good start lol
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 so how does that work? I’m not a legal guy at all but could they sue Arkansas and Cal for breach of contract? Maybe the clause is only under firing?
-
I’m hearing Cals family was receiving death threats was a big factor in his leaving
-
Since Bill Self can’t coach anymore maybe Kentucky will take him off our hands.
-
@wissox Where’s that sarcasm font?
-
@wissox You said it - you meant it.

There was no breach of contract. Calipari resigned his job to take the Arkansas job. Calipari had no buyout clause if he resigned. The buyout was only if Calipari was fired. Cal did Kentucky a huge favor by voluntarily leaving UK.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I see figured it had to something like that, their AD announced just over a week ago they were proud to have him back for next season.
-
Just read on Kentucky boards a couple of minutes ago. ----Oates is rumored he is happy where he is – - -Wright has said no, and I gues some talk about Calipari had got cold feet and I guess maybe tried to come back to Kentucky or wanted. - -Board told Mitch Calipari either goes to Arkansas or they fire Calipari for breach of contract lol.
Now can’t sear to this but guess that what Mitch Barnhardt said—Cal might of got cold feet. – Arkansas had cancelled multiple press conferences- - but still ends up at Arkansas sound like Kentucky said nope your not welcome back
-
Oats is a no. Drew come on down! https://x.com/nate_oats/status/1777501746614440385?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ
-
Hurley may be lured although he has hinted on staying put a UConn.
-
Hope its oats.
