The portal would instantly be filled with unexpected new transfer candidates.
If its true Billy D Is interested

Gawd I hope you are not trolling us because I think this would be fantastic. Also MB would get a lifetime contract for pulling this off..
Plus Chicago/ILL and their taxes SUCK..... he'd get a hell of a pay increase just with that.
I still think it’s a long shot. Got this info from the Pelphrey family. They stressed money isn’t a factor. His has a house paid off in St Augustine, a huge house in Gainesville and a paid off Brownstone in Chicago. They are rolling in it.
I still wouldn’t hold my breath, his absolutely will not quit on the bulls and timing is an issue. But I was happy to hear it wasn’t an automatic no.
It would be a hire that moves the needle. We need a hire to make us the story of college BB again and not the punchline. Hurley would do it as well.Fingers and toes all crossed.
I’m hearing some great stuff about Drew now. If he comes he is bringing a major weapon with him. Billy Armstrong, Bill is at link academy with 5-6 pros. He’s jasper johnsons coach.
Agree. I'm not as high on him as others are. O actually put him at the same level as Scott Dres, if for nothing else Scorr Drew has coached in this era and he's going to have guys coming with him, and not have an NBA season in the way. Billy D, to me, really just provides the NBA level of expertise and experience, and that is a factor.
But it's on par with what Scott Drew brings. Scott Drew could win a title in year 1 with JQ, VJ and his recruiting class, and others. Billy D probably needs a year or two just to get acclimated.
Lol. He's interested.
I think so too considering the pros is where these changes first take place.
Doesn’t matter what we want, Mitch is gonna do what he wants to do.
It is going to take a new AD to see real change.

If Donovan is interested, it’s nothing to do with money. He’s filthy rich. He is going to come here because he wants out of the pros and back into the college game.
He sounds interested. If he wants it, give him a shot. He’s the only hire that most of us will be excited about.
We don’t need to worry about the timeframe. Just hire him and he can get his assistants in Lexington to get the recruiting ball rolling. Bring in Pelphrey to start with. Have him start by getting the Sheppards on board. Then the rest of the players already there. Then start working the portal.

Barney isn't even going to go after him. What a joke. He has his buddy Drew locked in and isn't even going to try the pie in the sky names. Fire this idiot!
I could see winning multiple titles at two different schools being a motivator for BD.
I mean assuming the pie in the sky guys (Donovan, Wright, Stevens, Hurley) are a no..who else would you like?
I refuse to accept they are all pie in the sky guys. I'd add Pearl and a 3-year Pitino to the list.
I just watched that interview.
my impression is he is saying he wants the job
my impression is he is saying he wants the job
for being committed to the Bulls, he talked for 15 minutes on Kentucky
Once again, Donovan is not a fan of recruiting. That's been one factor that's kept him in the NBA.
If Donovan were truly interested he would reach out to Kentucky thru his agent to let it be known he is interested.
What I found to be interesting, he’s been keeping up with what’s going on at Kentucky, “Has John even left yet?.” If not following somewhat closely, you’d thought Cal had already left by the news cycle.

I'd take an NIT team next year if it meant we landed Donovan.
Is one bad season worth landing a better coach? Yes.

so Billy Donovan, who absolutely gave the “probably interested” line, is sitting getting ready for a Bulls game, and doesn’t just shoot down the speculation. He’s preparing for THE BULLS in the PLAYOFFS, and instead of saying I’m done in college and no I’m not interested nor speaking with Kentucky, then goes on a 1 minute rumbling rant outlining how speculation is wrong and he DID enjoy recruiting in college, and continued to make a case for why he WOULD return to college?
Then, Kentucky, who would absolutely name their guy by now if it were Drew, and Drew, who would have absolutely tweeted out he committed is to staying at Baylor if he wasn’t interested, is totally totally silent?
MEANWHILE Kentucky is still sitting and waiting when they absolutely WOULD NOT be doing that as they know John Calipari is steadily trying to rip away the recruits from this program.
And Oats who has not been contacted by UK declines UK. Hurley, who is NOT COMING to UK, has his name mentioned as the hold up late last night?
Looks like it doesn’t take a genius to figure this out. Donovan is the holdup but we’re giving him the respect of waiting this out and trying to figure out how he’s going to exit. I do not believe they will give Donovan the week, the only way that would work is if he announces it anyway and continues to couch, having his guys start to handle the work load at UK.

I want Mitch to hire a coach that would make the whole country absolutely **** a brick. So many people wants us to fail with this hire. We hire Billy D and all the haters will be worried
