IMO, if IU has made in roads with kids in the portal, then do NOT go after Fland.  He’s likely going to just follow Cal to Kentucky.  Don’t waste precious time and goodwill with the guys in the portal you are recruiting.

I think we have contacted multiple guards who are better than Fland.

Myles Rice over Fland any day every day. 

[LamarCheeks 17,029]

The IU-Kentucky series was set to resume the season after next.

Kinda crazy the lengths Cal will go to to get out of playing us again! 

[RaceToTheTop 24,126]

Your next Kentucky coach

Yes, at least when we are talking NEXT year... 

Now... Somto wants to have a chat about what kinda offer we can come up with him?.. yeah I'm all for that. Exact skillset we need to couple with Malik and I'd think he'd be fine with coming off the bench? 

Aaron Bradshaw still hasn't gotten in the portal? 

[LamarCheeks 17,029]

This made me chuckle ... 

It's almost like this dude is implying that Cal is leaving so he can win a natty. 

Hell, he coulda won nattys at UK (more than one anyway). He chose to focus on putting guys in the NBA rather than NCAA tournament success. Guess he either never learned -- or learned too late -- those two don't necessarily go hand-in-hand.

Talking out loud..  why did Musselman going to USC make sense at all? 

Arkansas is literally a better job. 

Not sure he wasn't pushed out at Ark. 

[IU - Kaulie 1,885]

I don’t think they are getting a Hurley, Stevens, Donovan, etc.  More likely is someone like Beard or Wade.  
I don’t like Coach Cal one bit, and UK fans wanted him gone, but they should be careful what they wish for in my opinion.

Donovan

 

I suspect he'd stay in the NBA if he can. But he's probably pretty close to the end of his second stint and it hasn't been very successful.  If he given more time with the Bulls or another NBA job,  I would think he would stay.  

Otoh, if his time  with the Bulls is up and he doesn't have any HC options in the NBA, going to UK for ~10mil/5yrs is a nice gig for a guy close to 60 with probably only one real big job left.   

Idk...I could see it if things break right for UK.

[68Hoosier 489]

This eclipse thing has everything turned upside down.  Louisville fires their coach, IU wants to get rid of their coach and he won't leave, UK's coach leaves on his own, Moren turns down Tenn job (that one is a good thing), Painter may win a Natty.

Crazy year in basketball.

I seriously don't think there's enough allure in college basketball to land Donovan and get back into recruiting battles and now with NIL poker added into the mix.  NBA recycles coaches or he'll get a broadcasting gig.

It's kind of crazy he still that young.  His back or whatever happened to him has to be one of the most freak things to derail such a good young coach.

[Trish 11,417]

I think Woodson should go to Kentucky! He has string NBA connections, he rather play the NIL game than recruit, and he’s made multiple NCAA tournaments. Would be a great hire for UK!

SIAP, but there were rumors of issues with the NCAA coming. Not sure that should scare anyone away as nothing will happen, but that was the rumor.

Also, he was wearing on key people around the program so the working relationship wasn't in a great place I believe. Agree though, it is a better job than USC.

@Trish you didn't hear? Mike Woodson and Kenny Payne are in serious talks to become CO-Head coaches for UK.

Same things I saw. Read he is 'intense' and burns out a position after a few years. He seemed to really have it rolling there.

Soooo funny seeing UK fans say that they "feel like" Jay Wright "has been waiting" for their job to come open lmao. My goodness... I thought the IU and UConn fan bases were loud and crazy...

[Alford Bailey 12,273]

Shows you can go land a top tier guy if the situation is right and you want to bad enough. Seems like a big F you to UK fans going to a hated conference rival.
