Scott Drew is a good coach and a reasonable hire. Not sure he is the right choice for UK. Maybe.

He is an upgrade over Calipari, but that’s an easy bar to clear in 2024.

Listened to the Goodman podcast today. Evidently Drew’s daughter is a sophomore at Baylor and his other kids are younger. I don’t think he leaves Baylor while his daughter is there.

I didn't realize Drew had a college-aged kido at Baylor, great insight.  I've also heard anecdotally that Drew is a deeply religious man and the orientation of Baylor and Waco, TX in general suits him and his family well.

I didn’t either. Goodman did say he was told the buyout is only estimated at $4.5 mil. So it’s financially doable. But to your point about being religious at a Christian university is a good fit. With Oats staying out I think UK will end up with Pearl or Wade. Maybe beard but the baggage is too much imo.

Yup. The Kentucky fanbase constantly screaming “fire Drew” and telling him and his players to go ‘f themselves after every loss is not something Drew has experienced.

The entire Drew family is very religious. Homer set an awesome example

I don’t fear Hurley going to UK. I fear him going to Rutgers. 

Fun fact... they fired him when he was an assistant back in 2001. And as a SHU guy, he will never end up at RU so don't worry. Now, if Shaheen ever went elsewhere and Hurley was ready to transition into the cushy semi-retirement phase of his career... that could be a possibility IMO
