It's a done deal...Part II

John Calipari has accepted the offer. It will be announced later TODAY. Memphis has already contacted Missouri seeking permission to speak with Mike Anderson, Missouri's coach who took Missouri to the Elite 8 in just his 3rd year.

  2. I tell ya what, I was already excited about the future of UK basketball when BCG left. Although he didn't win much, he established great relationships with a lot of top-tier recruits.

    It looks like we may have landed a few more recruits & 1 hell of a coach over the past 48 hours. Absolutely amazing!

  3. Yeah I'm pumped. I really hope that contract is smaller that 6 years 40 million. That seems beyond excessive.

  5. Marc Maggard reporting that Memphis matched UK's offer earlier in the day, and that Cal has already turned the counter-offer down.

    Apparently, there is still a last-ditch effort to get Cal to stay at Memphis. Also, Cal is pushing Tony B. (his former assistant & current coach at UTEP) as a replacement...
