Who is the new assistant coach that is going to be announced today?

[MegaBlue05]

Probably Delray Brooks or Herb Sendek.

 

[Blueworld_3.0]

If it isn't Steve Masiello, it'll be a let down.

 

[caywoodcat]

Bernadette Locke Maddox?

 

[Zissou87]

Disgusting.

I would take her over Brad Calipari or Tony Barbee.

 

[BradleyCrawford08]

Coach Carter……

 

[K86]

Rick Pitino.

 

[lpkilla77]

[TankedCat]

Scott Padgett is an assistant coach somewhere right?

 

[JPFisher]

Scott Padgett is an assistant coach somewhere right?

Mississippi State.

 

[Short-Dawg-69]

Whoever it is and HAS ties to Cal.
Also they expect a couple players will follow him to UK.

So my thinking is
Jai Lucas or Joel Justice

Pope is needing a strong recruiter

[UKJon]

Bringing the best college recruiter ever back to UK, Billy Gillispie! Better start getting familiar with 8th grade players.

4 UK in tn

Marc Maggard

What ever happened to Maggard? Jones and him used to have some epic nerd battles. Seems Jones won the war of attrition though.

He's still around. Calls himself MeManBoy or something stupid like that (I think only on Twitter, though).

Please do not speak the name Joel Justice into existence.

Those KSR comment sections and truebluekentucky message boards made for great times during the war.

 

[SemperFiCat]

I also thought he was MagillaGorilla, or something like that.

 

[TFCats11]

Jay Wright

Recruiting coordinator and NIL GM👍🏼

 

[warrior-cat]

Rex Chapman...DEI hire.

 

[Creed Bratton]

He's still around. Calls himself MeManBoy or something stupid like that (I think only on Twitter, though).

So he is out of jail now or does he tweet during his rec time?

 

[CaptnMorgan]

No doubt about that. First they were going to work together on recruiting and insider information, then they split and lines were drawn in the sand you either believed Maggard or Jones. It was entertaining to say the least.

 

[CaptnMorgan]

He's still around. Calls himself MeManBoy or something stupid like that (I think only on Twitter, though).

Does he still try and do recruiting or insider stuff?

 

[trueblujr2]

Seriously speaking, who was the assistant they thought was going to succeed him at BYU but now looks like that job is going to a Phoenix Suns assistant. Any chance that guy comes here? obviously if he was considered a viable replacement he should be well thought of.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Tried to have a competing website called True Blue something and sold lifetime memberships, only to go dark and keep everyone's money .... (disclosure - I never subscribed, but recall the stir it caused). "Insider info" which was basically whatever that Billy G assistant would feed him and/or Antigua in the early Cal days.

 

[TheDude73]

Does he still try and do recruiting or insider stuff?

No clue. I don't have Twitter and have only seen his name bantered about here due to the coaching change. I think there was a bit of him doing the same old misses on insider info.

 

[Farsight]

Billy Packer's clone

 

[TheDude73]

So he is out of jail now or does he tweet during his rec time?

He went to jail? Hahaha!

 

[Farsight]

On a serious note. Imagine if Robic was the guy. That would speak so many volumes against CCC

 

[sluggercatfan]

Jai Lucas?
Jon Robic?
Who?

Wasn't it stated that he'd be bringing a couple guys with him.

 

[megablue]

[Short-Dawg-69]

Please do not speak the name Joel Justice into existence.

I understand but it’s supposed to be someone linked to Cal.
And could bring a couple recruits with them.
Those were to two options that just popped into my head as possibilities.

 

[BlueSince92]

Shaedon Sharpe.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Bernadette Locke

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Brad Calipari and Joel Justus.

Joel Justice went to The Ohio State, that’s how they landed Bradshaw
