...could Derrick Rose from Simeon come with him? Rose is the second ranked point guard in the nation and signed a LOI with Memphis. If Calipari leaves, Rose's brother said Derrick could reconsider IF Memphis releases him from the LOI.

 

Rose is 6-2, 180 and Scouts ranks him the #2 guard in his class. Illinois would be another consideration for Rose.

I think UK would be well off getting a coach who has a good recruiting class coming in, so at least we could get a few of those to come with him.

Another guard would be nice, but without Morris it becomes a luxury next to signing a big man with immediate impact.

Anthony McClain is the last unsigned top level recruit big man. It would be nice for UK to sneak in and offer immediate PT and steal this kid out from underneath someone.

He does have an offer from Billy D, and Florida. It certainly would help things immensely if it were to happen.

It's very rare that a recruit follows the coach if they change jobs....

Not going to happen...

If Calipari comes to UK, I think that probation follows. I do not trust him.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Calipari wasn't actually sanctioned with any violations, wasn't it Camby, he was the one wearing a Mr.T starter set. I don't think he will become the next coach at UK, I think it starts at Donovan and probably ends with Gillespie but the guy gets a bad rep because he's been associated with bad things and he looks a bit like a mobster.

Tubby gets blamed when things happen on his watch....Why shouldn't Calipari??

It's indicative of how loose a ship he runs.

With rumors swirling that Memphis' John Calipari could be leaving for Kentucky, Simeon (Ill.) High School's Derrick Rose could re-open his recruiting. "Illinois and Indiana were the next ones after Memphis,'' said Reggie Rose, Derrick's older brother.

And their both near kentucky...

I think Calipari is the right type of coach for a program like UK. Hes a great recruiter and would really have the fans fired up!

If Calipari comes to UK there will be alot more red and alot less blue in my closet.
