Stop the bullshit Kentucky...

[AuHoosier420]

Hire Pitino now. It would be the biggest story in college basketball in years. You complained about Drew being to boring? You arent getting Hurley. Donovan seems unlikely. Please stay away from Pearl. Nothing would be more exciting than Pitino there. He is also the one most likely to win for you next year. Pitino is a top 2-3 basketball mind in the game still. He also knows how to deal with your nutjob fanbase.

College basketball needs Pitino back at Kentucky. A bad decision in 1997 needs corrected.

You’re scared we’re gonna ask Pearl aren’t you?😂

 

[JC for 3]

Too old. Will never happen.

 

[Scotty00]

I do like the Pitino hire though. Would be crazy!

 

[AuHoosier420]

You’re scared we’re gonna ask Pearl aren’t you?😂

of course I am scared. He would kill it there also. going to laugh when you hire mark pope over him.

Just my opinion… but with today’s money and NIL a top tier coach is hard to pull away from the big boys of college basketball. No matter who is calling. Most power 5 schools will match whatever Kentucky is offering.

make pope an assistant and let him take over in a few years

 

[Rod Dangerfield]

KY people like to pack each other’s shit. Just ask @RipThru

Damn, this circus managed to even bring AuHoosier out of hiding...

The talking heads seem to think Donovan would likely take the job if UK is willing to wait a week until the Bulls season ends in the play-in tourney. If it's between making a bonkers hire like Pope right now or waiting a week for Donovan, YOU WAIT A FREAKIN' WEEK.

I would agree. Issue is donovan has been one in the past to back out on something after accepting though

Exactly. Still worth waiting though, imo. It ain't like all the portal players will be committing this week. If they do land Donovan he'll have to build his roster from scratch anyway.

Donovan ain’t coming back to college to deal with bullshit like NIL & the portal.

Are these the same talking heads that were confident in Oats, Drew, Hurley, Wooden?

are you a uconn fan?

Probably. They just like to make noise.

Yeah that's what I said too. NIL and portal ain't really that much work when you have money to throw around though, and since Cal is gone the top boosters are back on board.

They’re talking about digging up John Wooden?!

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Only if we're digging up Sam Gilbert too.

 

[IUBtown]

I think it'd awesome and I'd actually start cheering for UK.

 

[AuHoosier420]

It would be amazing and must watch TV. Could you imagine Rupp next year when cal visits if Pitino is back coaching kentucky

 

[Kevin Bryan]

I would love to see Rick come back for a couple years and then do a total reset (including Barnhart).

 

[lurkeraspect84]

 

[AuHoosier420]

I legit would cheer for UK next season if pitino comes back. This would be so awesome. I am so here for it

 

[IUfanBorden]

Brother text me and said sources from ABCSports that Pitino is interested..

Wouldn’t call that a home run hire. Maybe a balk.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

If Donovan says no, I'm 100% on board with Rick Pitino coming back. Just win baby.

The other one...

 

[FaithPlusOne]

The other one...

I know, I’m just being a jerk.

I’m sure he is, but I have a hard time believing it would happen. I’ll admit, it would be a great stopgap hire for a few years.

What a turd!!!!

 

[WeAreDePaul]

Sign me up for the group that would become instant Kentucky fans if they brought back Pitino.

 

[Scotty00]

This is crazy but I like it. Pope is a good coach and his style of play is pretty good. I’m all for it. Let’s see how he does.

[Bert Higginbotha]

Pope is the man.

How on earth did you manage to catch a ban on the tmb? I thought that was impossible

 

[JC for 3]

$4 mill already from donors today for NIL. Pope will have all he resources he needs. 2 players he couldn't get to go to BYU have already called him back and said they'd go to UK. Wheels are already turning.
