It's looking like a deal will be made soon. Big time move for Arkansas after losing Musselman

Pete Thamel is reporting that it is a five-year deal in the range of 7.5 to 8 million a year

This is the basketball equivalent of jimbo to A&M


I’m skeptical that cal will have success without McDonald’s AA freshmen all over the roster

Arkansas is not excited about the hire. It’s like Les Miles to Kansas

I bet Cal wants out in Lexington, and I bet the blue bloods will help him pack.

Kentucky will go after Oats and a ton of bigger names before Wade...if he leaves Bama or not..who knows. Wade would be literally down in the double digits on the UK list, and that many aren't turning down UK. Coaches like Scott Drew at Baylor, Jamie Dixon at TCU has done wonders there....and did a great job at Pitt. Somebody like him would do great at UK.

This board has a weird fascination with Wade. He recruited well here under the table but he wasn’t a great on the court coach. He won’t get past the elite 8 at Kentucky

Head scratcher. Why move from Kentucky to arkansas? I guess its just to avoid being fired

Arkansas had a shite ton not too long ago. We can get good players and have had them.

I really don’t know what happened but if the salary plus nil rumor is true he can certainly do some good quickly. Idk what to believe as this is a weird hire and don’t know how I feel quite yet
