Channel 18, WHAS, wikipedia, and WMC out of Memphis are all reporting that Calipari has accepted the job.  I also reported that earlier, which I believe was little premature.  Currently he is meeting with Memphis Boosters to either discuss more money at Memphis or to try and get one of his assistants to be his successor.

All other major Media Outlets are reporting that the deal is getting closer but Calipari has not accepted the position yet.

I am sure that most everyone that reads this post already knows this information, but I am trying to keep the updates on this site just in case.

This has been a roller coaster ride of a day, and I expect tomorrow to be no different.  Today started out with a lot of excitement and started to look like Calipari would be accepting today.  By the time the afternoon hit, people started to think the deal was falling apart and Calipari was not sure what he was going to do.  Now, as the day is winding down, things are starting to look positive for the University of Kentucky.

I expect to hear some information from the UK players meeting at some point tonight or in the morning.  Jared Carter is the only one that made any comments to the media, and he did not give too much information, except that UK thinks they have a new coach and shrugged his shoulders when asked if it was Calipari.

I also saw an interview with a Memphis player and he said he did not know which way he is leaning, but other Memphis players seem to think he is all but gone at this point.

As the Big Blue Nation waits impatiently we will just have to keep waiting and see what tomorrow will bring.  So, say your prayers tonight and hold your breath.

It is great that UK is getting so much publicity out of this, and hopefully this is just the start to seeing UK in the main spotlight again.
