Tubby got pretty scant on that widow's peak real early -- and I'd take a 1998 Tubby Smith and be the happiest Kentucky Wildcat fan in the history of history. Give me class and competence.
UCLA had to hire cronin.
IU had to hire Woodson.
Lville had to hire dork **** face.
UConn had to hire Hurley (grand slam now but not at that time).
FLA had to hire golden.
Michigan hired the dude from FAU.
Getting Scott Drew is 10x better than any of these hires at the time of the hire. I’ll gladly take him. My expectations remain F4 high. I think he will kill it with all the resources UK has to offer.

You're saying that there is a cause and effect relationship between coaching ability and male pattern baldness?
Donovan was approached and for the 3rd time he said no thanks.
He technically agreed to coming to UK just prior to winning his second title and went zero dark thirty and backed out, but he’s passing for a 3rd time.
I think when we all step back and look at big picture, Scott Drew is a heckuva hire. He won a title at Baylor…equivalent to one winning a title at Northwestern or Vandy.
Not lost in all of this… if finalized quickly, we’ll have a coach in place within 2 days of our previous coach being introduced at his new gig.
If that’s the case then I would be the John Wooden of GYERO
Yeah, man. Been following this so closely for too long. I’m a mess. I don’t even know what I’m saying. Know what I’m saying?
Sounds like we just gave Coach Kelsey his new UL nickname: Dork **** Face really sticks. HCDSF or DSF in front of comp’ny

I haven’t. Feels like it, tho.
Staying sober to support my new coach!

Apparently that VJ Edgecomb guy Drew got over us and Duke that’s a top 3 recruit can really fill it up. Would be a beautiful replacement for DJ to pair beside Reed. Just sayin
I assume the news is coming fast because our psychotic former coach held up the ability of our people to get information out. This stuff all probably happened 24-48 hours ago.
Rackety rack that Crumbl take too. Blargh
That butthole is just saying that so he can add another name that supposedly turned down UK.
I’m not sold on Drew having the personality to take on this job. It’s kinda hard to get excited about this hire, but that’s mainly because Hurley is out there killing it right now AND he has a personality that is built for this program and its fans. I definitely hope I’m wrong, but I feel like Drew is more of a Tubby-style hire. He’s….safe.
Welch not following Cal to Arkansas. I got a feeling that there won’t be near as many people following him to Fayetteville as he thought. Recruits included. He will always be able to recruit on a somewhat high level, he did at Memphis, but I don’t think he will ever be 2010-2017 level again.
The hire needs to be Donovan if we can't get Hurley. Uconn could maybe go on a dynasty run here. We need to get someone in here who can challenge them. Like Lakers/Cetlics.
What's up Gtown?
Well, it IS caretaker time in the cycle:
Legend / Caretaker / Drunk
Legend / Caretaker / Drunk

Wish people would STFU about Donovan - he’s not coming.
Haha…it’s coach search time. This is like 100 Christmases!
Timing just sucks and he would have to do a lot of work to get a decent roster in place next year unlike Drew.
F next year. If you can get him you get him. Period
My wife is sick and bitching about me being on my phone, texting so much, etc. "Why are you on your phone so much?" To paraphrase Chris Rock, this is Central Kentucky -- the jury would understand my side of the story.
I mean, a coaching change after 15 years of the whirlwind that was the Calipari Era is literally why we do this.
As a distinguished poster said before the tournament: War footing.
Possible Drew got a noncommittal offer and he's basically on retainer if Hurley says no.
Damn, Billy wants the job from all those answers.
You wait on Donovan only if you know he’ll accept the job as soon as he’s allowed.
You can’t wait that long to simply begin the pursuit.

One of the big problems with Donovan coming here is we still have a lot of people hanging around the program with MS Paint images of him as Eddie Munster.
Going to take a lot to get over that hump

Toots Palumbo has been crying all day, fyi.
So, according to Tucker, Welch was going to leave the staff PRIOR to Cal deciding to head to Arkansas?
My God! Losing your best assistant to Fresno would have triggered a response from the fans that would have been unrivaled.

I mean I feel Donovan could probably talk 80% of our team and recruits to stay. All Cal pitched to everyone was NBA NBA NBA feel an NBA coach would probably get their attention. But I’m not getting my hopes up for Donovan. Between the eclipse and him I might just keel over.
I think Drew could keep our class together for the most part also, and bring at least VJ with him.
Although I'm obsessing over the search for a new coach and following every scrap of info and trying to read the tea leaves like everyone else, if I'm honest with myself I'm pretty sure nobody really has a GD clue, and I should put my laptop down and use my time more productively.
I won't, mind you, but I should.
