I've got a gut feeling that Rocket might prove a number of scoopers wrong. I really would enjoy that.

Has anyone said he was wrong?

Correct.  Goodman was reporting he was staying at Baylor.  Nick Saban wasn't leaving the Dolphins.  Entirely possible Drew still ends up in the 'ville

Kyle Smith to Stanford. Good hire IMO.

Not only that, but it's not as though rocket pretends to drop insider information here regularly. He's been on the Drew to 'Ville thing for awhile and even mentioned Bryce at one point. He clearly thinks he knows something - and maybe he does!

Wild possibility: if Kentucky moves on from Calipari (they are apparently meeting about it today), could Louisville turn around and hire Cal?  Pitino coached at both schools, but he left UK for the NBA before returning to college.

West Virginia is hiring Darian DeVries from Drake. Feels like a great hire for them.

Yeah that seems like a great hire.  And Kyle Smith to Stanford is a great hire for them.

Why would Louisville want Calipari? He will cost a ton, and it seems like he can't really get it done even with the talent he brings in.

I don't think Calipari is a bad coach or incapable of getting it done. He seems to have trapped himself in a vicious cycle of relying heavily on one-and-dones that no longer works. Leaving UK and starting over (at Louisville or somewhere else) would give him a clean break from that.
Which isn't to say I think Louisville should make a play for him. I just think he still could be successful in a different environment where he's not required/expected to load the roster with McDonald's AAs who have no interest in sticking around for long.

Don't you read Scoop? Money is not an issue for schools.

He created that environment. Would he want to do it differently? I guess that was my assumption...that he would take what he did at UK to Louisville.

And then I would ask, if he actually wanted to not reload on one-and-dones, would he be the right coach for that? Because his coaching IMO has not be terribly impressive.

And Sprinkle to Washington should be good.

My only concern for Sprinkle and Smith would be transitioning to the B1G.  We'll see how that goes for those schools.

I think he wants a reset on expectations and culture.

I guess my assumption is that he's smart enough to recognize - like everyone else recognizes - that what worked for him 10 years ago isn't working now.
But that's just speculation. I have no idea what he's thinking.

Why do you think that? He's 65 years old and been doing it this way his entire tenure at UK - about 15 seasons.

And then I would have to ask, if he does WANT that reset, why didn't he do it at UK? He had all the power and authority to make such a change, but never did so.

When I think culture, one of the first schools that comes to mind is Louisville.
The shaka sign, sometimes known as "hang loose", is a gesture of friendly intent often associated with Hawaii and surf culture.

Will be curious watching the new hires at Stanford and Washington.  Think the travel issues ate a bigger problem in a bloated basketball league than football. 

Don't think Washington is a particularly good job anymore

I just received an ESPN text that the new Washington coach will be the now former Utah State coach.
