Reports: Donovan to NBA thunder

[prodigal hoosier 27]

Yahoo has the story, sounds like Durant is personally involved in the effort.

[incrediboy 924]

From everything I've read, it appears to be more or less a done deal.

[swatford 1,235]

So now the SEC is a complete joke as opposed to before when they had one legitimate top-level program.

Wonder if there might be a transfer or two or even a commit that Crean might pursue for Priller's  scholly if Donovan leaves?

I don't know about that. They've pulled in some halfway decent coaches recently. Two of the top 10 recruits in this year's class will be in the SEC…and they aren't going to Kentucky.

well, color me shocked.

 

looks like Billy D is really gonna make the leap to Oklahoma City and the NBA...according to CBS.

I could see Florida either getting Archie Miller or Chris Mack as head coach.

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

Shaka regretting his Texas jump now?? Bye bye Archie Miller :(

[southsidehoosier 5,034]

"Billy Donovan? Was that our special teams coach?" - Florida fans

[Feathery 4,005]

Good for Donovan.

[Hovadipo 56,315]

Donovan accepts the job. For now...

[OliviaPope40 6,532]

How much money?

Hopefully he hates it and we can nab him in a few years

With Donovan off the market, who will Kentucky fans now dream about to rebuild their program when Cal jumps ship in a year or two leaving a trail of violations and NCAA sanctions?

Stevens probably.

[Striper 192]

Stevens probably.

 

I assume his DePauw education would make him smarter than that.

Yeah but UK fans aren't, if they were they wouldn't be UK fans.

[prodigal hoosier 27]

Im trying to digest what this means for Cal. Stevens and Billy have been direclty pursued and hired by the NBA. Cal sh*t the bed in his NBA stint but has arguably done more than those two since then. He hasn't been pursued as aggressively. Aside from the rumors two years ago, is he content to stay at the college level like Izzo or is he seen as a joke to pro teams except for the occasional Cavs type owner who likes to play Dan Snyder with his team?
