I believe if we retain Oweh, Garrison, Chandler and Kriisa, we will be a lot better than most on this board believe. I’d expect we could be top 10 depending on what the rest of CBB looks like. Having multiple players already acclimated with this system is huge, aside from individual player progression.
I wouldn’t think twice about hiring him. Nothing was proven on that and by all accounts Florida had zero fear as an administration about the legitimacy of any of it. Anyone who avoids hiring the guy will have pie face. Indiana should go all in, so should North Carolina if he’s available when Hubert gets fired. Both schools are too sanctimonious to see that though, I’d bet
He could be the most bland vanilla human being ever. If he can coach, which he can I would gladly take him here one day
I agree that we will need to wait and see. Sometimes you just get lucky. All three of those guards can shoot the lights out but took time to develop. SGA and Reed are our examples of guys developing from lower rankings but the Kentucky effect sends them to the NBA immediately if they show development promise.
Todd Golden looks like a software engineer to me.
Agree with cawood.. all your posts are pessimistic or backhanded complement to pope.. If you are a fan you sure as in hell don't write like one....
Hahaa, true. That escapade alone is why he'll never be at uk. One of my Gator alum buddies said golden has been talked to by the athletic dept about some of his coed interactions. I don't know if the salacious stuff is true, probably not. But I guess he was nosy with some coeds and was not particularly careful who heard.
Sounds like just as credible as the "sources" of posters saying Billy D was moving to kentucky and bought a horse ranch back in 2007.
Dont get too worked up buddy, my friend is very active in the gator booster events and this is what he was told. I never said it was a meeting with an AD. Good lord.
You got me.
Something about being a Florida sport coach that makes you be inappropriate with women apparently.
we will see
Golden has definitely benefited from the "fifth year effect"
His 7' 9" project may be a difference maker. Only time will tell but Golden is not a flash in the pan. We will be dealing with him for years. It would be next to impossible to get an existing SEC coach that is successful to come to the pressure cooker of UK. Bruce and Oats did not show any interest. I'm sure if either had any interest in us, their agent would or could have made contact. Ask yourself if you are making $5 or $6 million per year, woud you leave Bama or Auburn to come the the pressure that comes with being the coach here. Don't answer that with your heart because you can't get your head around not being a Wildcat. Answer it a a business decision. Why do you think we ended up with Pope? I hope you don't think he was anywhere near the top of KY's list. Pope or his agent I'd bet my arm on was the contact side, not Barnhart. Not negative of Pope, but he was not on the radar the first week of a coaching search. Beard might be in a different situation because he needs to rebuild his image. What better way to do that, than to be the head coach in Lexington.
I think Todd will eventually make a move to the NBA.
None of those three were holdovers from Mike.
