March 23, 200719 yr Dick Gabriel just reported that the duo just contacted McDonalds and told them to cancel their dual verbal announcement at the All American game next weekend... Can you at least quote me... :lol:

March 24, 200719 yr This is a mess we are going to be in all sorts of academic trouble when Morris and Crawford dont finish out the semester. Maybe it would have been better to not let these two come back, but it is to late now. Im happy for Tubby cause all anyone did was treat him like crap. Now he is like a king, and now we have no coach and no recruits this is going to be a tough year(s) ahead.
March 24, 200719 yr Sure...but UK has had their most dominant runs in two different 3-4 year runs...the rest of the time, they are looking up...I shall not be concerned anytime soon. Good point.:thumb: :sssh:
April 5, 200719 yr Author Well now how does every one feel? We didn't get the guy we wanted and who knows what we will end up with this. This could turn of to be a disaster just like I thought it would be.
April 5, 200719 yr Well now how does every one feel? We didn't get the guy we wanted and who knows what we will end up with this. This could turn of to be a disaster just like I thought it would be. I feel fine. I still think UK will get a good coach and a better fit for the program. It's not going to be Billy Donovan, but fortunately, he isn't the only coach in the world, so we'll still be able to get a good one and have a basketball team next year. :thumb:

April 5, 200719 yr Now I think anyone outside of Bill G and Matta will now be a downgrade. I don't, but that's just a matter of opinion I suppose. It seems that most people think anything outside of Billy Donovan is a downgrade. In fact, you'd think he was the coach that just resigned from UK the way things are going. Personally, I like Gillespie, Matta, Calipari and Barnes...in that order and would prefer any of them over Tubby Smith. But, that's just me.
April 5, 200719 yr Author I guess we will have to wait and see but at this point it looks like I am more right than anyone has been on this matter. :lol:

And he was pretty successful here as a second choice:D
April 5, 200719 yr I don't feel any different today as I did yesterday. I would have loved to have gotten Donnovan but appreciate his loyalty. I am also still glad Tubby is gone. Anybody that says it's a sad day says it with no validity. The new coach hasn't even been hired much less won or lost any games for goodness sakes!!! I don't think Donnovan turning down UK is a slap in the programs face as much as it is that he is very happy where he is. He has a family, friends, weather etc. Right now he is doing things that nobody has ever done there. I would have loved to have gotten him, I don't think it's the smartest move for him but I respect him for doing what he feels like is best for him and his family. Gee life is awful, we will now interview 5 of the 10 coaches in the country worst case!
April 5, 200719 yr Author ^^ You are right we will have to wait and see but as of right now it doesn't look to good.
April 5, 200719 yr ^^ You are right we will have to wait and see but as of right now it doesn't look to good. Pat Forde has said Barnes will stay at Texas.....Also read that Tom Izzo's people were to be contacted today.....I really like Izzo, but the UK fanbase wouldn't even give him a chance. It's really starting to look like if Billy G. doesn't come, they are going to have to settle for a lateral move at best.
April 6, 200719 yr ^^ You are right we will have to wait and see but as of right now it doesn't look to good. How does it look now?
April 6, 200719 yr :thumb: Remember when we were on probation ,Pitino wasnt the first coach UK offered the reigns to. And he was pretty successful here as a second choice:D Pitino was the third choice behind P.J. Carlesimo and Lute Olson.
