The Fall of Kentucky

[BlueintheFace]

Apparently early reports from various news sources proclaiming Donovan GONE from Florida were inaccurate. ESPN and Gary Parrish are reporting that Donovan isn't going anywhere. What a drama. Who needs daytime television?

Cal says he's staying home. I'm not sure if that will hold true, however.

This is looking bad for Kentucky.

If they don't hire a top gun, who would more likely bring some big basketball boys with him, the Wildcats and the Commonwealth are in for another possible NIT season.

What a train wreck.

Why would Calipari want to go to UK? He has a much better situation at Memphis. Kentucky, doesn't have that much on the roster, particularly if Meeks and/or Patterson go pro, compared to Memphis. I think all this talk of Donovan and Calipari has been wishful thinking on the part of Kentucky fans and boosters.

I think UK is going to have to go after some successful up-and-comer. I don't think they can offer that much more $$$ than other top programs and they don't have nearly the prestige or the players that they used to to lure an established big name coach along the lines of Donovan or Calipari.

This could be interesting.

I thought I'd add a little history lesson to this thread for the younger posters.

Kentucky and Duke go way back and Kentucky looks to rise again...
