Donovan to KY? (VERY Interesting-hopefully true)

KY,
Thanks for the clarification. I know they'll lose a lot to the NBA and to graduation after this season, but this will be 2 straight years where they've made the Final 4. I'm assuming the recruiting classes that he'd bring in in the next few years will more than make up for that.

There's only 3 instances in the last 15 years I can think of where teams went to the Final 4 two years in a row, and weren't able to maintain their success. 1st was UNLV- but that got messed up because of Tark and the sanctions.
2nd was Arkansas in the mid-90s. For whatever reason Nolan Richardson wasn't able to maintain that success
3rd was Tubby Smith at Kentucky- Although they keptwinning under Tubby, no more final 4s after his first season.

But seriously- Kentucky is rebuilding as much as Florida even if Florida loses all those players this year. There's less pressure at Florida, and Donovan should be able to build on his recent success with strong recruiting.
