I really hope Hurley also tells them no thanks

Now it looks like Louisville folks are razzing the UK folks about Drew's family seeing Lexington and then saying Hell no.

Give credit to Arky. They really put Kentucky in a tough spot. Kentucky had to make a call on offering Calipari more to stay before they could execute a coaching search.

Generally, you wouldn't fire a coach like Calipari unless you had a slam dunk (Hurley) lined up. Kentucky wasn't afforded the luxury of handling it that way. Kentucky, discontent with Calipari, rolled the dice and lost. Quite a coup by the Hogs.

If Drew leaves, then all the best of luck. He would go down as the best Coach in Baylor History. Sorry Kim.
Since when is 3 < 1?

When one is clearly dedicated to the school and the other is not.

CSD also started from a complete disaster and did his championship in a sport (MBB) where parity is and has been out the roof. WBB has never had that type of parity. Getting to just the second round of the men's NCAA has been harder than getting to the second weekend on the women's side, especially prior to 2021.

How early can we get the Drew kids enrolled in a Baylor graduate, PhD and post-Doc program? Can admissions just go ahead and do that when admissions receives the undergraduate application?

Kentucky probably wouldnt do it at this point of their careers but they should seriously consider Tang or Wes Miller at Cincinnati. Those are who I thought we should be shooting for if we had the opening.

Spot on.

Guys that succeeded at Kentucky (Calipari, Pitino) have a lot in common - the tough, loud, ******* personality. Guys that failed like Tubby Smith were well regarded as very nice, great men. Drew is clearly the latter. Hopefully wanted to stay at Baylor, but if he did not want to go to Kentucky he's wise - better to be coaching at Baylor in 10 years vs. coaching at UCF after a failed stint in Lexington.

Tubby failed? 76 percent winning percentage, 5 SEC championships, 5 SEC Tourney Championships, numerous 16's and 8's and a national championship.

This is why UK is having a tough time. That is seen as failing.

A lot of people were ready to bury Mack over losing Drew.

So now....thanks Mack? Or are we giving this all to Mrs. Drew?
I hope Drew was able to milk more NIL money from the donors. Hard to build a top 10 roster these days if you're fighting an uphill battle due to inadequate NIL money.
Perhaps that is what the treaty of Mi Casita was about.


The Treaty of Mi Casita is now the official name of this event. Well done sir.

Apparently a willingness to be stalked is a job requirement in Lexington. It's little wonder they can't get a coach to say yes.

So much misinformation out there…but FWIW.... from a UK beat writer about an hour ago




This guy is just tweeting random garbage at this point.
Actually, he was pretty much spot on throughout this process. He was the first to report a lot of things that turned out to be accurate. Clearly, he was one of few with good, well-connected sources.

Maybe, but I was referring to the Matt Jones' tweet that it's quoting.

Hey my Baylor friends , just the Ol KU Jayhawk lifer that put my two cents in yesterday.- - Saying I didn't have a iron in the fire, but I thought you guys were going to be fine. - - See you were fine guys.

I said yesterday Scott has invested 22 years at your School, that means something these days, hard to find. Scott I think is a loyal as loyal can be to your university, you need to thump your chest and be proud of that.

As a life long KU fan - - a Big 12 fan - A Basketball junkie I myself am happy too , look forward to more Baylor/KU battles in the future. I think Drew represents Baylor 1st class all the way- -he represents your University top notch , good for you -I'm very sincere in these words you have a great Coach and glad he didn't leave for that cess pool.

I'll say this about Kentucky- -& their fan base. Kentucky fan base think they are the most entitled , arrogant golden spooned group I've ever known- -always have been. always will be. - - They think just because they have all this money and they are KENTUCKY that if they offer you the job - -you have to take it, because they said so. Well here is a news flash, they are about to get those golden spoons yanked right out of their mouths. Coach's are catching on to Kentucky , sure they can throw money BUT money can't buy happiness. Why make that money if your miserable where your at ? Not the only reason but a huge part why do they really think Calipari left. - he was due to make right at seven Mil next year at Kentucky - - -he left and took the Arkansas job for a lil over five Mill he came out and said him and his wife wasn't happy - -I wouldn't of been either

Pretty funny actually and the longer this drags out the worse it's gonna be, they have already lost seven players rather from current roster of incoming freshmen be it portal or de-commit. they think they can just run to the portal and get whoever they want, because again WERE KENTUCKY- - and ? -now what ? ll--these player s in the portal like they might have got before -- not so much , they came to Kentucky for the Coach - not for the School -- Coach is gone, not the same boat lmao

OK this ol Jay Hawker has bored you all long enough. just wanted to say Congrats to you the Baylor fans, The School and yet most of all Great job Scott- - wanted to say I know it's a great day in Waco, welp until we meet on the hardwood again take care guys & gals- - - -ROCK CHALK

Even the city making a push



Does Louisville really have a Mexican restaurant? If so, do they have one with TexMex? It's quite different in California, NM, etc. is it any good? Doubtful. Very unlikely that any place will have Mexican food comparable to almost anywhere in Texas. I've actually tried it a few times out of state (& even in Europe), and it's not the same, not as good.
