I thought today on Mike and Mike, Gottlieb brought up a good point on his recruiting..

At Kentucky, he won't have to reload, year after year.....that Kentucky can be more appealing to the kids from 2 parent, middle class households that mightstick around 2,3,4 years. Not havin to take a Juco kid or 2 ever year.

Only Problem is they might not be Cal 'tough' guys.

it's not, but it shouldn't be that hard of a sell. did you see our PG play this year?

Allen, I agree as well. keep the Darius Miller's and Jon Hood's (KY kids who will be nice, 4 year college players, don't ask me why we letPettigrew go to Western) in-state combined with "Cal guys."

University of Memphis coach John Calipari met with his players this morning to discuss his involvement with the University of Kentucky opening, according to a source close to the situation.

While Calipari did not say explicitly what he planned to do, players left the meeting convinced that Calipari would take the job. According to the source, Calipari told the team that Kentucky was the Notre Dame of basketball.

Meanwhile, ESPN.com reported Monday morning that Calipari met with Kentucky officials over the weekend to discuss an outline of a deal to replace Billy Gillispie.

A source told The Commercial Appeal on Sunday that Calipari had expressed interest in the job and could meet with Kentucky this week but that a meeting was "not definite."

Memphis officials, according to multiple sources, had no direct knowledge of a meeting between Calipari and Kentucky if one indeed took place over the weekend. Kentucky still had not asked Memphis for formal permission to speak with Calipari as of 9:45 a.m., according to sports information director Lamar Chance.

Either way, Memphis is expected to make a strong bid to keep Calipari with a financial package that would make him the highest paid coach in basketball, according to another source.

how do you tell YOUR team that?

Like, I've been saying, Ego is a HUGE factor.

It could get very ugly very quick if Cal goes to UK, bring's his recruit's, and Pat and Meeks stay.

[trillipinotrapstar]

If Cal leaves Memphis and goes to UK.....

If it actually does happen, UK's roster will be no joke next season.

Damn... I really don't understand this move for Cal. It's not like he's not landing 5 star recruits at Memphis. I think it's a mistake whenguys jump to a "tradition rich" school like Kentucky just cause they have more history, because other that, Kentucky is not a better program themMemphis. All they got is their history to fall back on.
