Kentucky Fans Chase Tubby to Minnesota

What really hurt Tubby was overlooking Lofton and taking Crawford and Bradley over him. Crawford and Bradley are horrible.

Bradley looks like beetlejuice

Passing on Corey Brewer b/c he "was too skinny" hurts; same goes for Derrick Byars, SEC player of the year. Not great at evaluating talent, although Lofton probably wouldnt be who is had he come to UK.

I honestly believe Pitino could walk right through this door... or Donovan will beat him to it. I think, deep down, Pitino would rather be at UK...this is his chance to go back home...the fans will forgive him after a national championship...

I agree, and I think had Louisville not gone on that winning streak (starting with the upsets of Pitt and Marquette) and made the tournament with a good run, he'd be coming to UK. It's the longest of shots, but it wouldnt surprise me.

The best coach that could completely turn this program around is Billy Gillispie. And I hope to God Kentucky snubs their nose at him because Kentucky would immediately become a National powerhouse again(and I really dont want that)

ATM better pay Gillispie the bucks or they will have a losing basketball program in addition to football.

Word is that we're looking at him pretty hard, actually was the first name that I heard come up. There are concerns about him (I think he's a great coach and cheered my ass of for him, AC, and the rest of the Aggies) namely that he's not a proven coach and people question if he's a good recruiter. Seems the Aggies this year were led by juniors and seniors, he didnt recruit them correct? I think he's a really good coach and would flourish at UK and he'd be able to recruit just fine, but I dont know if AD and Boosters agree.

AC Law got himself into the NBA because of Gillispie having faith in him and making him work his butt off. Law was at best average. Billy likes recruiting in Texas though. That may be the thing that keeps him in Texas. He sees untapped talent. Recruiting wars may not be one of his desires. And wars must be fought at Kentucky. Good to hear the Wildcat boosters and AD dont like him, because even though I am not an Aggie fan, I appreciate good solid basketball by good coaches. So I get to see a lot of ATM games.

Rumor has it, he's got a little Eddie Sutton in him.
