I would expect Billy Donovan to be at the top of their wish list. |

Personally, I think Matta sees the benefits of football being king at Ohio State as a total positive. It absorbs most of the pressure and "nutjob fans" that would fixate on him at a place like KY or IN. Seeing as there's no difference in his ability to recruit, facilities or salary, why go to a place like Kentucky where the fanbase will demonize you and run you into the ground the minute he fails to live up to their outsized expectations. |

not that far fetched. i talked to half a dozen or so guys at the bar in between the sessions thurs and that name came up.
the reality is rupp is a hole. its big and loug. its a hole. the place is over 30 years old and really could use some money dumped into it cuz its never had it happen. tradition is great. but they kids you have coming in now were in diapers when uk was last a solid basketball team. that is harder to sell sometimes than a "hot program"
should be interesting who they pick.
tubby to minnesota is interesting also. i always thought he was overrated. good ingame coach, not great. and recruiting wise ive seen better. | |
