Not to worry, Bill Self has not said no yet. And, Calipari said today that he will not go to the NBA, which means our offer is still on the table. Sweet!

Calipari would be a good hire. He recruits so many kids that stay only one year we would not have to worry aboutthem trying to stay eligible each year.

I wish we had the problem of having a bunch of kids so talented that they are one and dones.

Which is worse- trying to hire a coach at a school like LB community college or getting turned down by him?? This search is starting to get really ugly.

Heard a rumor today that we could be going after Pastner. Seems odd, though, with Memphis going to the BE anyway. It would have to be all about money.

I would think we'd have a hard time beating Memphis on money. Basketball is #1 for them.
