Calipari to UK, sorry Memphis

[wannabe]

As a lifelong blueblook University of Kentucky Wildcats fan, I heartily welcome our new coach John Calipari to the program!!

To all the Memphis fans, sincere thanks for the University's allowing UK to talk to coach Calipari and allow him to realize a dream of his, and for all the support you gave him and his family during his tenure there and in the wake of this decision of his. You are truly classy fans, and I will always be rooting alongside you, except of course when you play us.

Go Big Blue! take your pick which one. :)

And if he doen't get the program back to the final four in three years, UK will fire him and go after the next flavor of the year. Calipari's a great coach and a great recruiter, but let's face it, if this year's Memphis team was in the Big East, The ACC or the Big 12, they'd have finished in third place in the division at best...

Good luck, Kentucky, we all hope to see you back in the Tornament soon.

But let's face it, 3rd place in the Big East, ACC or Big XII this year (and most years) wins the SEC...

not just a great recruiter, quite possibly the best ever! he will have UK back in a final 4 within 3 years.

looks like he will be bringing he two top recruits with him to Lexington. that should have an immediate impact. No doubt Kentucky will be back to elite status is a year or so.

The only reason I used to like UK was because of Tubby Smith, and now he's gone. I still like them, though. Jodie Meeks was awesome this year.

What about Memphis recruits now?

Xavier Henry may not go to Memphis now. Xavier, if you're reading this, come to Kansas! Join Elijah Johnson, Thomas Robinson and possibly Lance Stephenson - come to Kansas and win a title.

Man that's a lot of money...At least he doesn't have to worry about Memphis' free throw coach anymore...Lol. I still love Memphis though, but man they ruined my bracket for two straight years... I hope they're still good without Calipari.
