He ended up a lot closer to home but didn't pick the closest landing spot of the schools that showed interest.. UK is about 190 miles away from Linton, while IU in Bloomington is about 40 miles away...(Assuming that the family still lives in Linton..) Still, a 3 or 3 1/2 hour drive home isn't bad, and we don't know what each school offered...

After his father lost his coaching job, the family was considering a possible move to wherever Joey went to school... (Apparently his dad's other job lets him work from home...). Anyway, I wish Joey and the family the best.

He's supposed to be an excellent shooter. If true he'll get his minutes . We'll see.

Calipari is on some thin ice there. They don't have a stellar season and I can see him being fired.
Last I checked he could not be fired…lifetime contract. I suppose they could buy him off…for a LOT

I don’t think he cares. He likes working with top 1 and done kids and getting them to the NBA. If he can win a title along the way, that is gravy, and he knows it would be better to have some older players on the roster, he just prefers being an NBA pipeline. And as someone else said, if they fired him he would have a job the next day.

Calipari isn't about winning championships. He's about putting guys in the NBA. The NBA playoffs were full of Kentucky guys.
