Billy... come on, buddy. Third time is the charm. Don't break my heart again.
Man, hearing Billy talk about all of the things that people downplay in regards to his ability to return has me convinced he'd crush.
I'm curious how people make comments like Billy not being in college since most recruits started playing, etc. Let me tell you something, they watch the NBA and the Bulls will forever be a draw for Jordan alone, they know who he is.
I especially honed in on his answer about "If you were asked what would you say" where he went into detail about focusing on this group and "finishing out the year". Never once explicitly said "No" outright and left a huge crack in the door based on his answer.
I think he'd get along fine with Mitch.

If it's not Hurley, I hope he demands enough of a raise from UConn, to bankrupt them.
Wouldn’t a follow up question be, “well Billy, if they did reach out to you would you listen?”
I've tried telling you all that _chase_ is a little bitchboi. For years, I've said it.
I bet Mitch has Drew higher on the due to the timing issues and that rebuilding a roster would be a lot easier for Drew. He could bring recruits and transfers from Baylor. Billy would be starting from scratch with a tremendously late start and it would have to be portal heavy for him next year and the portal seems to be underwhelming this year.
If we don’t have a coach by next week though, it’s possible he’s waiting on him then.
I’m intrigued by Beard being mentioned today as an option a tier down from the big 3. Surprising Mitch would entertain him but he’s been mentioned today as a possibility.
If that’s the case, then he probably was open to Oats as well but Oats wasn’t interested.
College players watch more NBA than college I’ll bet money. They all sure as hell know who he is. He’d absolutely slay it here.
Let the Hurley saga play itself out, then ask Donovan.
An 8-10 year run with Billy D and a title would be a nice final chapter for him anyway. 1 more title ties him for 4th all time, 2 ties him for 3rd with Rupp.
He’s unlikely to do anything historic in the NBA, obviously he could win a title but there are 9 active coaches alone with a title BUT it would put him with Larry Brown as the only two coaches to win one of each.
Just thinking of what he may be pondering historically.

Guy just posted on HOB that Oats is separated with 3 kids in school. Sounds like he’s in a bad spot.
Damn, he has kids in school…that’s crazy.
So if he moves he can’t see his kids most likely? That would be an instant no for sure. But wouldn’t the wife still want that sweet sweet UK money since they’re not divorced?
He and Stoops could go crush all kinds of *** at Ruby’s every night!
Pilgrim just posted what was going around yesterday saying the boosters wanted to go after Hurley but would support Drew too. His guess is Drew but we are making UCONN nervous.
We need a guy who’s married to the game of basketball. Surprised no one ever thought of that.
Today would’ve been my grandpa’s 92nd birthday. He never liked Cal and I like to think that just like the Florida streak in 2018, he somehow willed this to happen. Kentucky grandpas have magical sports powers, even when they’re gone.
We said that about Gillispie and look how it turned out. Give me a calm demeanored, X's and O's slanging son of a gun and I'll be happy.
I don’t understand why Sean Miller would be on the trickle down list but not Pearl. Unless it’s just because Mitch hates him on a personal level.
That HAS to portend good things...
The Jews killed Jesus IIRC
Donovan is a better hire than Drew. Why rush over one year? This **** is about playing the year 3 game.
That's why you make an absurd offer; like 13 million a year, for 8 years, with no buyout. UConn's only possible response would be, "Well, we can give you 7.25 million, and you'll get to keep the house in Jersey City..." That's it. That's all they can do.
You MAKE him turn that down, or, as you said, bankrupt UConn...
THAT is how you let the rest of the country know that, when it comes down to it, Kentucky basketball can swing it's nuts anywhere and anytime it ****ing WANTS to. You might keep him, but we're going to MAKE you pay a lot more money for him.
Ellen is pissed at that dummy. She’s a good wife. 
to her!
to her!TECHNICALLY, it was the Italians...
I've heard enough about Hurley's wife. Joanne Pitino didn't want to move to Kentucky either. You think a young "hair on fire" Rick Pitino gave two fvcks what his GD wife thought? No, he didn't. And that is why he was a badass...
Italians woulda let Barabas sleep with the fishes…alas
I thought that was Sahvir in the video… I get confusedEllen is pissed at that dummy. She’s a good wife.
We need more info. You're hearing......?Ellen is pissed at that dummy. She’s a good wife.
I think in the video she didn’t look like she wanted to move to Arkansas.
I'll offer up all the gyero hens if he comes here.

My brother had to move his family to Kentucky for a job. A good job. Lasted a year. They all hated it so much he gave his notice and was back in CT in a year. Some of the stories about the people, places, general culture were just wow. Just a different world and not in a good way.
If anybody had any doubts about Uconn not being that hateable.

The “We never liked you, either” sign directed at Joanne Pitino is an all time Billy Joe Wildcat moment.
@HymanKaplan and @UKRob 73 being very charming tonight, I see.
She has shut up for 15 years. While her roomate/husband has ran off at the mouth. Always supporting him. She loves Kentucky and UK and actually means it. She had a right to tell the fans goodbye.
You had strung together a few good posts and and blew it.
