Rumor has it UK has found their new coach

[wayne1218]

The Louisville Courier Journal is reporting that John Calipari is the new man in Lexington

ESPN is reporting that he still has not signed?

And I am corrected as wel...thanks CTT!

Either way, you are right Garth...why keep them if they want out.....

Kills me that Tyreke Evans chose Memphis over Villanova last year...wonder if he regrets that decision right now....

The Cards were after him also, bet he does regrett it now

[Three Jack]

Ohhh...I didn't realize that. That's a different story then. Thanks, 3Jack.

Xavier Henry, Nolan Dennis, Will Coleman, and Darnell Dodson signed letters of intent during the early signing period.

DeMarcus Cousins is verbally committed, but hasn't signed a letter of intent.

John Wall hasn't even committed yet, but he said a number of times that Memphis was "leading".

I don't think they signed....just announced their intention to sign (verbally committed).

I don't think Memphis has to let those players out of their binding letters of intent. Of course, they probably wouldn't want to keep any players that no longer want to play there.

KB, you're right about Reynolds and James. wish they'd have been playing in crimson and cream the other day. What a douchebag Sampson turned out to be.

What has always killed me is why sign a contract. The institutions get the short end of the stick. All contracts should be on a year to year basis. The coach can walk away anytime for a better offer with no penalty. The new school may pay something to get him out of the contract but it is generally not coming out of the coache's pocket. But if the institution like Kentucky wants to fire Gillespie they have to pay the remainder of the contract. The school gets screwed coming and going. If they fire a bad coach early they have to pay off the contract. If the coach is successful he can walk away anytime leaving the school holding the bag.

I can sympathize with Mavs, It sucks when you are on the verge of having something really special at your school and the individual who built it leaves for greener pastures.

I feel your pain bro, it sucks and unfortunately its the way the game is played. Hopefully you will find a good coach and he can keep building on what Calipari started. BOL

I take it if he is such a scum bag, then should he turndown this job, you all won't have him back...correct?

Bobby Petrino is the biggest scumbag on the planet.






If he came back to Louisville i would love him

If florida comes in and offers him 10 million a year in 3 years his skirt will be up again.

The only guy I ever expressed any dislike for in this thread is John Calipari. And I think everyone on this site, at one time or another, has expressed dislike for a player, coach, announcer or sports figure.
