Per Trilly: visiting Louisville today and I’m...

Says he's likely NOT to take UK job and head...

The big man is expected to visit the Texas Longhorns this weekend. If Garrison gets through that visit without committing, then I am told that he is looking to set up trips to both Arkansas and Kentucky.

According to an article on KSR, they are expecting a decision this evening.

Who you all think it’s gonna be?

I am torn, part of me that wants a complete fresh start but if he has the drive to recruit like he was his first time around it might make sense.

Curious to your thoughts

Still recruiting for Kentucky, he contacted Kris Parker the Bama transfer.

He’s trying to get the final spot on the staff

I’ve been trying to connect the dots. The...

I find it curious Burks has not entered the portal?? I know he has a couple of more weeks, but seems odd.

My wife who is not a sports nut like everyone else in my family was watching the Cal gone, Cal stays, pope coverage for the last 2 weeks. I was trying to explain the transfer portal and she asked if any of these players stayed at the school they originally signed with. Not anymore I told her and she asked Dont they have girlfriends. I wonder if the players have any friends at UK. Wilcat Lodge. Craft Center. Just pure iso. No wonder many feel these players have no program loyalty. PITINO hit the nail on the head
Every player is now a professional. With NIL their are no more amateurs.

Heard from a good source that Orlando Antigua...

Easily one of my all-time favorite players and he's coming to my work on Sunday to promote his new book, do a Q&A, and sign books (tickets are available to the public fyi). We get the chance to talk with him and was curious if you had any favorite memories or good stories or questions to come up with?

I never hear anything about the Bryan Station or NBA days but was curious what people remember about Goose from then.

Heard an interesting comment yesterday and thought I’d share.

Was at a work conference where former UNC head coach Matt Doherty was the guest speaker. He was asked if he were to coach again how he would try to navigate today’s game compared to the way it was in the early 2000s when he last coached.

First words out of his mouth were that he would ask the school what his NIL budget would be because without a good one you can’t compete. Very reasonable answer.

However, it was this little comment he threw in that woke me up, something to the extent of:

“John Calipari just left the Kentucky job because of his NIL budget. Their biggest booster, the Craft family, pulled his funds because he wouldn’t let them use one of his player’s to help Mrs. Craft run for governor, so they just pulled all his funds.”

I know it’s been mentioned here, but I was pretty taken back by how matter of fact he was about it. Can’t help but think that’s how it is being viewed through coaching circles, that the Craft’s just ran Cal out.

Kenny Payne had been in contact with Kentucky but doesn’t think it’s going to happen. Looks like it’s Arkansas or NBA for him.
