Not sure his hire would make Kentucky fans happy yet. If Hoiberg can have sustained success here before Bill Self retires then I would worry, but we probably would have had some great seasons if he lands that job so…

Yep, Kentucky is big game hunting. Billy Donovan makes a ton of sense.

So, a Kentucky coaching search is triggered by a guy leaving his job to go to SMU...  By the transitive property of coaching, that means that the SMU job >>> the Kentucky job.

I'm surprised that Cali lasted as long as he did. After Adolph Rupp, Kentucky has managed to turn over great coaches like used roadkill. 1. Joe B. Hall 2.Eddie Sutton 3. Rick Pitino 4. Tubby Smith 5. Billy Gillispie.

Sometimes being able to buy groceries is more important than money

It’s hard to turn down Kentucky if they come calling.

No offense, Cazzie, but I don't think Kentucky is calling you...

The real concern here is if Kentucky for some reason goes after Otzelberger, then we'll really have something to worry about...

Do they make size extra small Kentucky polo shirts? If so he might be interested.

[AuroranHusker]

Kentucky will go for a much bigger fish........

I don't know if Pollard would take Fred back.  I suppose fan pressure may allow forgiveness.

Pollard would be drawn and quartered at midfield of Jack Trice Stadium by angry Clone fans if he didn't do whatever it took to get Fred back at ISU.

I am not concerned about Hoiberg to Kentucky in anyway.

I am slightly nervous about who takes that job and what other spots open up but like others have stated, would be a little nervous with ISU.

Still think Fred wants to make it work here.

People on Reddit are saying this is not a reliable source.  Not saying that Drew isn't in the mix or even that he hasn't been offered, but take this tweet for what it's worth I guess.

No idea what happens but here is a reliable source stating the same thing

Sure, but targeting a guy is a lot different animal than putting an offer on the table.

[49r]

and let me just add that Scott Drew would, IMO, be a perfect fit at Kentucky being a midwest guy and he and his dad are both legends at Valpo.

[Vinny]

Would step seamlessly into the coach Cal role of first winning a championship, then pulling in crazy talent and getting bounced the first weekend of the tourney.

JESUS himself would be the only "perfect fit" at UK.... walks on water, championship mentality. Sacrifices for the masses.
