So Arkansas - who cannot bring in elite talent the same way Kentucky can - is going to hire him for a few twilight years?

Arkansas had the number 2 recruiting class in the country and a top 5 transfer class in 2022.

Nate Oats and Scott Drew. Oats is the better candidate, but Drew is good friends with the Kentucky AD. Maybe Chris Beard gets an interview.

I figure Oats will win the battle because he would generate more booster $$ with Oats

So is uk being investigated for recruiting violations? Isn’t that the only reason he ever moves?

They haven't won more than one SEC tournament game in 4 or 5 years either. He's been awful in the postseason for a while now i bet Kentucky fans are ready to move on.

It’s done. It moved fast, but he’s going to Arkansas. What a wild Sunday night story.

Sounds like $8M year/5 year deal, $4M pool for assistants.

Bama losing 2 of their greatest coaches ever in the same year would be….

If he gets offered the job he is. You don't stay at alabama over Kentucky in basketball.

Recruits will flip, but most of the guys staying would have been sitting next year. He’ll pull his recruits and hit the transfer portal hard.

His buyout is $18M, but that won’t bother Kentucky. I think their first call will be Scott Drew because of the relationship with the AD, but Oats is a better candidate/fit for Kentucky.
