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

[Uncle Adolph]

Tony Barbee

 

[EliteBlue]

Ksr said that if they land the bigger name coach that he will likely bring a player or 2….so that rules out any no active college coaches

 

[moses1uk]

Norman Dale

 

[ftp000]

Good lord.

That'd be a big get! Almost like cheating.

 

[BradleyCrawford08]

Coach Hines

 

[DreadLox]

Jorge Mario Bergoglio

 

[HagginHall1999]

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

Justus just got top assistant job at Ohio State.

The rumor on another board is it will be Kenny Payne. Someone claiming they know it...take it fwiw.

 

[screwduke1]

Matt Jones and Ryan Lemond.

 

[SemperFiCat]

Kevin Farrell

 

[podgejeff_]

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

I know nothing, I was just being goofy.

 

[CaptnMorgan]

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.

I got ya, I've been out of the loop for a bit.

Sorry, but Kenny Payne is not a big name.

 

[Short-Dawg-69]

Tony Barbee

He was head coach of the year in his conference I think.
It’s not him.

 

[d2atTech]

what if it's pitino?

 

[IL Wildcat]

Jai Lucas?
Jon Robic?
Who?

I doubt it would be either of those. I'm expecting a guy in the business who is a friend of Pope (maybe played with him or after him). I heard Nazr Muhammed earlier and that wouldn't surprise me. Maybe Walter McCarty, Scott Padgett, maybe even Sean Woods.

 

[rick64]

Pat Riley is giving up his GM job with the Heat to come home to Lexington and be the NIL GM. 😁

 

[sjk0000]

What i

What is this dude’s name?

 

[Short-Dawg-69]

Dude that’s Labron James right there….. He is not coming here stop wishing….

 

[Skyguyb27]

Dude that’s Labron James right there….. He is not coming here stop wishing….

His street name is DaFugly.

 

[BGWentworth]

Jai Ulis

 

[THE_HOOK]

Damn that is one of the ugliest humans on earth.

 

[Blueisbest]

Rick Pitino and he's bringing his 2 best players with him from St. Johns

 

[On-On-UK]

Hugh Jainus

 

[23jumpboy]

Norman Dale

We can dream!!

 

[Jakerz]

You think they’re gonna hire McCarty with what’s going on right now? Lol

 

[JPFisher]

That'd be a big get! Almost like cheating.

Only Pope would be able to recruit the holy Trinity to coach for us.

 

[Skyguyb27]

I was told it is in fact Jamal that will be joining.

 

[IL Wildcat]

You think they’re gonna hire McCarty with what’s going on right now? Lol

I'm not aware of that. But if you know of something, then he's probably off the list. I was just naming former UK guys around the time of Pope who are/have been coaching.

 

[sportspm]

There’s speculation on X about Jerod Haase who just got fired at Stanford. He was a long time assistant to Roy Williams and it would likely help us land Andrej Stojakovic.
Don’t know if true

 

[TFCats11]

Larry “Legend”

 

[fastpaste101]

Knute Rockne

 

[treyforuk]

Damn that is one of the ugliest humans on earth.

Well, it played an alien on star wars/ star trek...one of them.

I wouldn’t mind that hire at all. Haase is a proponent of the Roy Williams run and gun style where they are trying to push the ball even off a made basket. Me likey. And if it helps us land Peja Jr., all the better.

 

[WildcatFan60]

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.

I saw on Trilly or somewhere, that the new BYU coach is trying to get some of the assistants to stay there at BYU.. Maybe why we haven't heard any announcement(s) today.... I think someone said the postings don't expire until tomorrow at the earliest... so maybe that is another hold up.

 

[MbergCat]

I heard if we can sign this super assistant we would likely get 2 very good players as a result.

Do tell, good sir.

 

[Johnfarrel]

My eyes, my eyes!

 

[dl51344]

Richard Pitino and he is bringing little Mashburn with him

 

[KAB Cats]

Jon Hood. Confirmed

There is actually 5 Stanford players in the portal I think so they may bring another one besides him
