Same dude that will have Brea news tonite.
I'm also reporting that Coach O will not return to Lexington next season.
I am very interested in who Pope will have recruiting. This needs to be homerun dudes. I guess we wait.

Let’s go Coach Pope……. Can I get a OH HELL YEAH…..
Interesting. I have a feeling there’s gonna be a coach or two that Antigua clearly would have been a better choice than so either promises were made or the University as a whole wanted to clean out the whole cupboard.
If I was Antigua and wanted to stay in Lex, I’d take my buyout and go coach a mid major close to Lex or something

To be honest I’m down with a total purge and fresh start.
If true, does UK fire O and pay the bonus? Doesn't seem like he is leaving until that bonus is paid.
They will probably reach an agreement on a buyout amount.

I'm glad. I want no more Cal ties.
Bummed. He wants to be here, is a great recruiter, and would choose us over cal.
OA wasn't exactly recruiting homeruns.
No, he just didn't want to move. That's not enough reason to justify keeping him on the staff. He's a Cal guy.
O is probably a top 5 recruiter. I really want him to stick around
Good call and I would've done the same thing.
There's a whole different mindset now with how to build a team instead of just recruiting the same type of one and done guys over and over again.

Payne or Antigua on the staff would've sent my conspiratorial brain into overdrive. I'm glad we're moving on with a fresh start.
Is there really no clause that would void the assistants contracts if the head coach leaves? Seems like that should be thought through when making the assistants contracts
Big gamble...great recruiter with lots of contacts. In Pope we trust.
We should be. Pope has a completely different vision and method for everything. Keeping on the old regime does not work.
Hope Pope has a guy that recruits as damn good as O did. I would’ve stuck with him at least one season to see how they worked together.
Excellent. ALL Cal tentacles needed to be removed.
I do not agree with this. He's been a coach here for a long time. Recruiting took a upturn when he came back. He knows the landscape of college basketball recruiting as good as anybody yea?
I can't believe the stupidity I've seen from this program over the last 2 weeks. One after the other. One after the other.
We used to always make the best decisions.
it's Orlando antiqua. wake up! It hurts Cow to lose him and it hurts Cow even more to keep Orlando.
ESPN would cover this news. I know them. They would find this interesting. As they should because it's his fault not ours. This is more to our side than his. Keep Orlando it's a good move.
Damn for a minute I thought we made a genius move. He's already lost a 5 star player to ohio st and a 5 star recruiting coach. That says something...

I'm thinking Pope didn't' want a possible situation where OA is leaking info to other coaches ...... (cough)

You need to make your way off this site. You're not a UK fan. You're a Cal / NBA fan. We needed a culture change from this OAD Primadonna nonsense. OA was a big part of that previous culture.
Will be interesting to see who these other coaches are.
It's 100% coach decision so will support him.

Just trying to show why would we should keep him. Idk. Maybe im wrong. Well anyway i got zoloft to crush up and wegovy to shoot. Who knows what I mugh't think next
What did his post have to do with defending Cal? I actually agree with him and I think Coach O would have been a good guy to have on staff (may change my answer once we see who we are hiring). Doesn’t feel like a crazy take to me
OA had gotten comfortable and lazy just like Cal over the past few years.
Good riddance.
Good riddance.
News coming out of Lexington that Coach O will not be retained.
I agree keeping away from Cal might’ve been a good move. And maybe it lets you keep a guy like JQ.
I also get wanting to flush the entire thing and start fresh.
This is one of those 4th an 1 kinda things. If it works you’re a hero. If it bites you in the ass, you’re an idiot.
