With Drew out of the way I'm gonna be shocked if it's not Pearl. And he'd be a good hire. He's a bit of a whack job. But I can see him going all out and that first title still alludes him. He could get it at Kentucky.

If a man says he’s going to pray on it, and decides to stay at Baylor, I’m not sure how much more you could’ve done.

His whole family is from Waco. He's got kids at Baylor and he's religious. I definitely can understand it. And there's a lot of pressure here.

Jeez Jtodd is Mitch that out of touch that he thought this guy wanted to coach at a public university and under that kind of pressure.

Kentucky had to make Dan Hurley say no. According to sources, they made him a $100M+ offer (Craft plane is in NYC, where Hurley's agent is located).

He said no.

No surprise there. Can't blame them for leaving no stone unturned though.

I guess we wait till next week and hope the Bulls don't advance past the play-in.

My only issue with Donovan is that the portal closes on May 1st, with no freshman recruiting class to flip. That first year could be really rocky.

Maybe we should interview his wife first.

[DamnYanks2]

Yep the wives are killing us lol

Mark Pope is a candidate?

I like Mark Pope, but there are many coaches who need to say no before we settle on Pope.
