I've also heard they'll reach out to Painter this week.




If UK fans were upset about Cal's NCAAt performances of late, they would not have given Painter the time of day for what he has done at Purdue. It took him 11 seasons to get past the Sweet 16, and he only got there 2 times in his first 11 years. He completely missed the NCAAt 3 times in his first 11 seasons. He has lost in the first round 2 of the last 4 seasons.

This isn't an apples-to-apples comparison. Since 2016 which is eight tournaments, Purdue (again, Purdue not Kentucky) has gotten:
(1) Five Seed
(2) Four Seeds
(2) Three Seeds
(1) Two Seed
(2) One Seeds

Kentucky has the same number of Final Fours and missed a tournament in the same timeframe. Painter at a less-prestigious school and with lower level recruits has had just as much success as Calipari over the last nine seasons. It makes sense that they would at least reach out. Plus his buyout is a little over $1M, which is easier to knock out than some others.
