UK can probably afford to pay him more than whatever UCONN can if there was a bidding war. But money isn't everything.I can't see him leaving Uconn....He is an East coast guy and how much more can he do at Kentucky? He makes 5 million now and I'm sure he will get a raise
Ya' think? Cal makes 8 mill plus. Lexington is a nice place.Painter to Kentucky?
Speculation is they want Scott Drew. I'd guess they may toss out a feeler to CMP who's at the top of coaches right now. If that were to occur, how much would Bo toss Painter's way to keep him?Kentucky is only going to look at coaches with a national championship.
As a kentucky fan. I hope you win so we can get Hurley lol.I can't see him leaving Uconn....He is an East coast guy and how much more can he do at Kentucky? He makes 5 million now and I'm sure he will get a raise
While we certainly appreciate the support, I'd be lying if I didn't say that makes me feel a tad dirty.UK fan here. Hurley should be our #1 target. We’re all Purdue fans for the next 24 hours,
It was the ripple effect that lead to this Arkansas job being opened to start all of this. Maybe it was the eclipse effect.The ripple effect is going to be crazy.
They are going after huge names from big schools. That will open up some huge jobs.

It's almost like they take winning in basketball seriously - wonder if anyone at IU takes noteThe ripple effect is going to be crazy.

Welcome to the new world.
1) Kentucky is a top 3 job in college basketball. Period.not sure why Hurley would leave, UCONN is a blue blood with all kinds of money.
Interesting list.Bruce Pearl, Sampson, Scott Drew all make sense for Ky, not sure why Hurley would leave, UCONN is a blue blood with all kinds of money. Few from Gonzaga is a name worth watching as well.
Basketball reigns in Kentucky too. The northeast has a lot of competing sports priorities. That’s basically what you said in point #1.1) Kentucky is a top 3 job in college basketball. Period.
2) UConn has money, but Kentucky has more. Hurley is currently getting about 5 mil a year. Kentucky could throw 12 at him.
3) UConn's AD is leaving this year and Hurley will have to deal with a new guy soon regardless.
4) Kentucky's NIL is better than UConn's.
5) Kentucky's admission standards are lower than UConn's.
6) Hand-in-had with #4 and #5, it is just easier to recruit to Kentucky. Hurley has elevated UConn to near blue-blood status, but Kentucky IS a blue blood. Every 5* prospect will be interested.
I don't think it is likely that Hurley will leave, but the chances are also not zero. He'll take the call (or at least his agent will).
Not sure I understand how losing tonight would make Hirley any more likely to take the KY job?As a kentucky fan. I hope you win so we can get Hurley lol.
I mean... Rick Pitino and John Calipari were also east coast guys... and they came here...
Not sure I understand how losing tonight would make Hirley any more likely to take the KY job?
Yeah, personally I see it as being the other way around. If he wins, he might have the "Well, I've done all I can here, let's try a new challenge!" mindset.Not sure I understand how losing tonight would make Hirley any more likely to take the KY job?
Let's find out.Not sure I understand how losing tonight would make Hirley any more likely to take the KY job?
Might be a quick 1 year problem, it’s KY, they’ll be fine.. my guess is they pick a Coach later this week to try to salvage players leaving. Guessing Ark might get some of Cal’s recruits though. If I’m betting I’d say Oats is the pick. Bama is a football school, nowhere near the job KY is.Interesting list.
The other question, what happens to all those prized recruits? They didn’t commit to Kentucky, they committed to Cal. If he takes a bulk of them to Arkansas, Kentucky is going to be in a bad spot next year. I know Travis Perry picked them over us, but I’m happy with the 2 guards we signed.
Any way your administration can give him multiple calls today, like say, every 30 mins? Get in his head a little bit maybe? Not have him as focused?UK fan here. Hurley should be our #1 target. We’re all Purdue fans for the next 24 hours,
UK just saved on Cals 33M buyout so they could take that money and use it on Oats buyoutNate Oats is a good pick. Fun offense. But he has an $18M buyout.
I assume all his 2024 class go with him to Arkansas. He can still get them to the nba.Might be a quick 1 year problem, it’s KY, they’ll be fine.. my guess is they pick a Coach later this week to try to salvage players leaving.

Kentucky had locked up the $33M buyout before they committed to another year of Cal. They basically saved $15M.Nate Oats is a good pick. Fun offense. But he has an $18M buyout.
Hearing Billy Donovan is high on the list.
Another decommit from Indinia?They have to wait for him to leave Bloomington though
The AD should do what is right after the season and boost CMP's salary. It's not right that Woody makes more than him.Speculation is they want Scott Drew. I'd guess they may toss out a feeler to CMP who's at the top of coaches right now. If that were to occur, how much would Bo toss Painter's way to keep him?
Strongly disagree. Why wouldn't they go after someone like Nate Oats?Kentucky is only going to look at coaches with a national championship.
They might if they don't have interest from their A-list.Strongly disagree. Why wouldn't they go after someone like Nate Oats?
