I'm pretty sure you have to contact a school in order to contact a coach who is under contract.

Paperwork in Lexington!!!!!

Bill: Thanks Richard, I mean.............. Rick Gotcha

So you are sure Minnesota is committing NCAA infractions????? Wasn't Mitch contacted in December? No leaks since then..... He left 3 months later..... and that's plenty of time to talk to Tubby. Lord knows he wasn't spending the time cleaning his office or recruiting.......

Being blindsighted is impossible. Minnesota couldn't have talked to Tubby unless UK gave permission. When he left the first thing I thought was, boosters just forced him out because Billy D is coming. Take the CATS roster, add PP, Lucas, and any Florida player who follows him and UK might not be "down" at all next year.

There is no "off time" with coaching college and in the NBA there is a lot. However, in the NBA you travel almost daily and in college you don't travel so much.

Smith didn't play college hoops because he was so good at football. Then he went to NKU after he had gained a lot of weight. He was better at Highlands at B-ball than he was at NKU. His size was a huge advantage over Pelle. Pelle isn't very tall and Smith was 6-6. Smith could also play guard with relative ease. Does anyone know if Pelle is playing for Pelle's this summer in softball? He's a pretty good hitter.

The fact that PP hasn't signed and was interested in UK and Floria doesn't make you think. If I were BD and taking the UK job PP woul be told before ANYONE!!!

That sounds like he might think Billy D is going to UK.

About 10:30 when the plane lands!!!

I really have nothing to think about..... I'm thinking and thinking and thinking and I got nothing. This is odd.

Which could describe the unknown arrival time and name of the plane. This is very weird...

UK should use BCS money to pay Donovan!!!!

How far?

Amazing athlete and pleasure to watch in football and basketball.

I agree.....

I have no idea where Hibbard came from...

Durant being 18 and Oden is 19 and there isn't any difference. It's a pointless point. If I call someone 18 or 19 there is no (significant) difference. Melo did what Durant did several years ago and did it better. He carried his team to and through the NCAA Final 4. Durant didn't and neither did Oden. Being the best freshman in college basketball has nothing to do with who will be better in the NBA.

Maybe he wouldn't recruit or didn't get his players into shape then blamed it on his PG. OR did he play his son at QB?

I agree, I just HATE that he's at Louisville. However, it's bitter sweet because it adds to the rivalry and makes me follow U of L a lot more than I ever thought I would. I wish both UK and U of L would return to NCAA Elite.

Ok how about Memphis......... How About Florida?????????? How about the teams that look more like NBA guys???????????? 5 up with him against Memphis and 5 down without him. Tehn he returned and dominated. How about dominating 2 lottery picks (3 counting Hibbard) in the final 4? If you don't see potential mixed with talent mixed with freakish size and athleticism you're watching someone else. If he "fails" he plays in the league for 15 years. College basketball is guard dominated and has been for a LONG TIME!!!! The NBA isn't.

Other than....."I've watched them more" you've made zero points. I've watched him way more than that, more than I've seen Durant, and I can't find anyone or anything anywhere calling him lazy. He's developing yes so he struggled some. Not that much. The foul trouble I give you, but often big guys get into foul trouble early in their careers. When Oden bumps a college player that player moves resulting in a foul. He was punished for being bigger, stronger, and more physically gifted than others in college basketball. Against Horford and Noah who physically match up better he didn't get ANY cheap foul calls. Look at the past centers who have struggled with foul trouble.

January is a great determining factor for a team...... Remind me where they finished with him......

Why couldn't he be??? There's been nobody in college basketball that even compares at the 5 since Duncan. Before that there hasn't been anyone since Shaq, before that Ewing....... Why is that a reach?????????? Did you watch him this year at all? He's got every single tool, great heart, great moves, unlimited potential, and freakish athleticism. Since when has that not been the recipe for success in an NBA center? The last highly touted "scorer" that couldn't miss (ALA Durant). Freakish skills, body, the college numbers, and a scorers mentality........ Who was it? He missed. He was 1 overall and never lived up.

Ok without Oden do they still go home earlier. Surely they would have lost several games through that winning streak and there is no chance they get as high a seed without Oden.
