Cousins and Wall are verbals. They'll be fine. Henry wrote his LOI, but he can get out of it if Memphis lets him.

Memphis has no say in it... Him and Dennis can be released from their LOI if Cal does indeed go to UK it was a clause put in the his signing. Which means Calcan potentially bring the #1,2,3 and 47 prospect to the blue grass with him... The Opposite of Handsom... EARLY.

Somebody has to be in the know about Kentucky's Scholarship status???

"Hypothetically Speaking" wouldn't it be crazy if UK had about 3 McD's AA as walks on next year.....With Fafsa paying their tuitions...

Do you know what FAFSA is? It doesn't pay any tuition. Its a financial aid form that determines need and from there the school determines how much you have to pay.

Yea I definitely worded that wrong, I was more so trying to say that Fafsa guidelines will determined that they wont have to pay tuitions, thus mycomment.

But you knew exactly what I meant...

And he'd be adding the #1, #2, #3, and #47 ranked players to the #22 and #32 ranked players

I can only imagine how salty some of these other coaches will be if Cal pulls off getting all that talent.

 

[wildkycat]

LOL

 

[biggie62]

Flordia, Tenn, and w/e other SEC teams that were thinking they were going to be competing, well you'll be competing, for 2nd place in the SEC for the nextcouple of years. He might not win the Championship, but he'll be winning the conference more than likely.

 

[bleepthat]

What happens to UK's recruits now?!

 

[bigmike23]

so what round will cal have KY choking in for the next few years?

lol, no kidding. You can have all the shady dealings in the world to pull in five-star recruits, but you still need to coach those recruits

KY has been a non factor the last few years , any thing would be appreciated up there

wasn't he in the NC last year? they did choke, but you can't really hate on that.

*for the record, i don't even think Calipari is that amazing of a coach.

Wall, Orton, Hood, Henry, Dennis, Cousins...

u see what happend when UAB wouldnt give cousins that same deal with Mike davis? he wouldnt sign there, i dont see anything wrong with what mempis did

 

[wildkycat]

what a day...i finally got to my comp. i got some catching up to do...

but i just caught the local news, they said that a deal is being finalized and they showed a vid of Xavier Henry's brother talking about the meetingbetween Cal and the players.

i think a press conference will be early tomorrow to make the official announcement.

you will soon get the feeling of high class recruits (you know #1,2,and 3 on rivals ),winning, and possible championships

Memphis on the other hand, hopefully the school isn't too cheap to get Tim Floyd

Orly, thought this was done deal today

i think hes gone though

Just hate Witherspoon and Sallie will have to sit out a year if it does happen and they transfer

 

[bigmike23]

what kind of offer can memphis come up with to try and keep him?

he's only owed like 2.8 M or so, i guess more money or higher raises per year

He must want one more crack at a national title ; if he can't get it done next year , retire

maybe...who knows really? lol, don't be sorry for me tho...i told y'all i wasn't going to get too excited about any of it...buty'all making it hard not to.

i'm just glad that Barnhart is swinging for the fence. If Cal doesn't accept, he's a *+%!%#% idiot...as is Billy Donovan.

it really can't be stressed enough how PERFECT he is for the job.
