He has Mitch’s Plan A for awhile now. But perhaps the UK Boosters stepped in and told Mitch he used up his credit in hiring BCG. Let’s hope the next announcement we hear is either Hurley or Donovan being welcomed to UK… with the ESPN First Takers blasting the UK job this morning (and somewhat understandably based on the extreme attitudes we sometimes have), it would be sooooo sweet to send them and Tyson some crow to eat.
Drew tweet

Pretty obvious Drew is leaking all of this to get Baylor to pony up. Getting played by Scott Drew... good lord.
A cult follows Matt Jones. He keeps guessing, lugnuts keep clicking, it's pure comedy.
My first thought was that this tweet was a way to calm any Baylor fans down without making any promises. Almost every coach that’s speculated about during a coaching search comes out with something saying they’re happy where they are. It means nothing.
It is a Mexican joint. Not exactly known for the Decorum. But having said that, it is chips and salsa ? HTF do you fancy up chips and salsa up ? Local Mexican joint here in BG where I live is not a fancied up, 5* rated joint, but the food is damn good, real Mexican cuisine. Just had it last night.
I don’t think that’s in Scott Drew’s nature. He’s been at Baylor for 21 years. He has children in high school there. He likes the pace of life in that town. I think this tweet is his way of saying, “Thank you, kindly, but I’m fine with my life and $7.99 plate lunches I eat with friends and boosters right here.”
Yup
Yup. Because there's a huge drop off on the next tier. If I was Drew and someone showed me the posts on here, there's no way I'd leave where I am to come deal with this crap.
National media like Rothstein wouldn’t be reporting of Kentuckys potentially hiring of Drew if it weren’t true. Odds are Kentuckys reps went to Waco to work out the deal and it will get announced by tonight or tomorrow
Agree.For some reason people seem to think Drew is above playing games with people but he loves the green like anyone else and and I think he ends up here.
His phone was probably getting blown up by people wondering if he was in Lexington and he tweeted the picture to let everyone know he's not. Him pointing out the guy is a booster is a bit odd though. Although it's probably just an old friend.
It’s hard to read into anything on social media. I can see it being a little odd, but I will also point out that he posted nothing about Baylor or the future (here I am reading into it as well lol). People do weird stuff all the time, he could stay or he could already know he’s gone and having lunch with a friend.
Hurley for sure. Drew is probably trying to get a little extra out of Kentucky. Instead of 6 million he will get 7.5 or 8 million now
Mitch will also need to pony up some NIL funds to whatever coach we get.It's all the portal players care about now.
The plane tracking group wants Mitch to give Hurley 25 million all together NIL+ contract

Hey didn't you see who got the credit of the celebration picture from Gampel Arena?
Jerry Tipton
I remember a reporter asking Pitino "did you know what you were walking into?"
His response was "I thought I did, I mean I coached the Knicks....but I had no idea"
This is embarrassing
Key word: “potentially.”
I’ll go with Scott Drew’s message: “I’m sending out this lunch photo from a hole in the wall, Waco mainstay Mexican restaurant with a Baylor booster to reiterate I’m comfortable right here.”
He’s not the kind of person to post this one day and announce he’s leaving the next. This post IS his announcement. He’s staying at Baylor.
Do you really want to give Billy the chance the turn you down again?
Billy just asked yesterday if John was still here? I don't think he has much interest at this stage.
