If he can bring Edgecombe with him, that would be a good start. That dude can ball.
Drew to UK?
- Thread starter RunninRichie
- Start date
He is not interested in returning to college basketball.
Of course not but no one knows for certain how he would do here. You can’t just take what he’s done at Baylor and project that to what he would do at UK. We have made 5 coaches national champions.
Screw it, get Pitino. 5 years. Year 2 he will be winning ball games. Unlike Captain Fayetteville who can't even beat Evansville, saint peters, Oakland and the list goes on.
Are you listening to this Twitter space by this Nate guy. It’s biggest case of copium from a group of our fans ever. These guys are full on trying to convince themselves Hurley is coming here
Yeah it’s honestly hilarious, they’re examining everything lol
It’s one of the craziest things I have listened to. Them trying to get a damn audio engineer for a 20 second video. These guys are beyond delusional and it’s hilarious
These dudes are literally talking about Hurleys hand movements and how he talks to try and prove that he is coming to Kentucky
During the covid year there wasn’t a tournament, he won the year after the covid year.
clearly the commissioner says the word "offer" in the video, but that isn't that surprising. His name has been put on everyone's list for who to hire, her asking tells nothing we didn't already know. It doesn't even confirm that an offer has been made since she could be asking because of his name being attached to kentucky. And none of it means he is saying yes. There's nothing new to learn even if more of the audio could be heard
It’s insane man. They are literally convincing themselves that Hurley is coming here.
Im so sad after being so happy. You don't loose Cal and go safest bet Barney. Dam so 3 yrs more bs. Then both go I hope. Kentucky needs a big splash not a slip into a warm bath like an old man.
What resources do we have that will give an edge? Sadly, tradition is a thing of the past. The only edge now is NIL.
We're getting Drew. Accept it and let's support him. It's happening.
Unless Donovan is interested, I just don't think there are any potential big splashes out there for Barnhart to get.
I mean, Nate Oats is a young coach who was on the brink of a championship this year and expressed interest (Per Kyle Tucker). Maybe we should call him and see what he's up to?
He literally put out a statement saying he’s not coming. That ship has sailed.
He very well may not be coming, but I’ve been around long enough to see plenty of coaches put out these statements and then leave.
Drew is a limp dick hire when we already haven't seen the FF in a decade. We suck now. It's a rebuild, not Baylors coach. We aren't rushing to a FF with Drew. He'll Edgevomb probably takes his second choice in Dook, making it even worse.
Whoever gets hired it’s gotta happen quick. Transfer portal closes in about 3-4 weeks.
And Roy Williams didn't give a **** about UNC, Nick Saban wasn't going to be the coach at Alabama and coach Brooks was excited for Va Tech's future two weeks ago.
It's coach speak. He literally said the same thing he could have said after a mid-summer practice with that statement. No raise, no facilities promises; just a generic statement about the program.
If he said he's been contacted by UK and "no thanks" that's completely different.
This is a nightmare hire. He's not built to coach here. FFS I KNEW Mitch would screw this up horribly.
Want a laugh? Drew sucks and Edges 2nd school was Dook. So chances are we get double ramroded.
I’d go Rick Pitino for 3 years before I’d go Scott Drew…. Scott Drew is just a boring hire…
PLEASE STOP SAYING DREW!!!
I'm worrying about this. Stop please.
I need hope. For real. My dad had a stroke. I wanna think Kentucky can be Kentucky again.
There is a window

I find it weird that a lot of people that were bashing the Cal people for "lowing the standards" are also ok with getting guys that are "better than Cal".
This is where we are at right now?
We don't just want "better than Cal"............it has to be much much better than the last 5 years of Cal.

Hurley is 51, Drew is 53. Cal was 50 when he arrived here. Joe B was in his late 40’s as was Tubby. Only pitino would qualify as he was 37 in 1990.
Once again, NO it wasn't. They was 26-4 the Covid year and might have won it all that year. The very next year, they did win it all, going something like 28-2. Drew could have very well won back to back titles if not for the Covid year. THERE WAS NOT A TOURNAMENT DURING THE COVID YEAR !! Do you understand now ?
By the way, the first three coaches who will be contacted are :
Hurley
Donovan
Drew
My prediction is, ONE of the three takes the job. Yesterday less than 18 hours after reports came out Cal was going to Arkansas, several posters was saying this guy isn't coming, that guy isn't coming. Cal hasn't officially resigned yet, you can't have FORMAL talks with potential candidates until AFTER he is officially gone. Mitch has not offered ANYBODY yet, so all these guru's do not know jack ****. It was less than a day, and before the current coach has left, with peoples schedule's, it takes time. Relax and enjoy the ride, remember how long Cal took ?
