Couple of interesting names being floated for a replacement at Memphis:  Tim Floyd and Mike Anderson.

Could this also maybe cause Pitino to think about Arizona possibly?  I'm not sure if he'd be willing to "share" the state with Calipari.

Calipari is apparently receiving over 5 million a year to coach at Kentucky... sick.

Sounds like Calipari is bringing a lot of his players/recruits and most of his coaching staff to Lexington.

Interesting.

I look forward to beating them in the NCAA down the road....again.

$5 mil for Cali? Ridiculous.

I know the Kentucky fans are "excited" about Calipari possibly bringing his players currently on his Memphis roster (namely Robert Sallie, Wesley Witherspoon, and Angel Garcia), but they do realize that Memphis will be able to dictate the terms of their scholarship releases, right?

His incoming recruits under their NLOI releases would be allowed to go anywhere they want (see Nick Williams to Indiana last year).  But Memphis and whomever would replace Calipari there would be able to place restrictions on where those players would be allowed to transfer in their releases.  While they may let them go anywhere outside CUSA, I will bet dollars to donuts they'll prevent them from going to Tennessee and Kentucky.

Last Friday I was watching ESPN's preview of the night games and they ran a tease about Pitino going to Arizona.  I switched over to CBS and didn't see any more.  I didn't know if they were serious or just wanted viewers to stay tuned.
