UK Sports Info

Last week I was told that Calipari would be UK’s second choice if Donovan was to back out.  Friday several minutes before the press conference I was told that Donovan was wavering on whether he wanted to come to UK or not and that I should expect Calipari to start to be mentioned.  The source that gave me this information did not give me any indication on how accurate this was, but he said it was definitely a possibility.

As today has moved along I am starting to see some chatter about Calipari showing interest at UK.  I will be hearing some information tomorrow that hopefully will clear all of this up a little more.  I personally hope this is true and that the folks at UK are willing to make that kind of a move, because it could have a huge immediate impact on the program.

I obviously can not leave out that this would bring the Calipari/Pitino rivalry back into play, which would also be very exciting to watch.

All of the above information is speculation and rumor at this point, and I hope to hear something concrete tomorrow.  If there is no news then we will just still sit and wait for something to happen.  Join the “Bring Calipari to Kentucky” group on facebook, if you would like to show your support.

There is no way I could write a post and not mention how happy I was to see Louisville lose to Michigan State today.
