I wanted him to come to Kentucky, because he is one of the top 5 coaches IMP. With that being said, I don't fault him for wanting to stay in Florida. He has 4 kids in school. He and his wife actually started ($$$) the Catholic school their children attend. both sets of grandparents have moved (winter time) to Gainsville. He did not reject Kentucky, he just wanted to stay in Florida. I truely feel, if his kids were older or a lot younger, he would have come to Kentucky.
If I were offered another 50K a year to move to Gainsville, I would not go for the exact same reasons. My kids are in school, both sets of grandparents are 5 miles away. It would not be a big deal for me personally to move, but would be a hardship on my family. I wish Donovan the best, because he is the best.
1st pick of the 2023 baseball amateur draft
John Pelphrey.
And yes, I am dead serious.
He would do a phenomenal job at UK.

Now that I've done some reading, I now think Gillispie is the best candidate, as well as the one that will take the job.
More updates : Pat Forde works for ESPN now but used to work for Louisville paper......
Forde says Gillispie is the guy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Said on ESPN he expects BG to be wearing a blue tie in Memorial Coliseum tomorrow
If so...after BD said no...this was our best bet more than likely !
Why not Tom Izzo? If I were Mitch Barnhart, I can't screw this up or it's my job. If I pick a guy who has been to 3 or 4 final fours since 99, and has won a National Championship, and it doesn't work out, Mitch can say he picked the guy with the best track record. Tom is the "safe" choice. Gillispie is a "up and comer" who my never "come."
1st pick of the 2023 baseball amateur draft
Reportedly Tom Izzo makes around 7 mill./season at Michigan State.

Not very accurate. Here's a look at his deal: http://images.usatoday.com/sports/gr...anstate_bb.pdf
Even with the fat (and I do mean fat) bonus he's getting, it doesn't make 7 million per.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Gillispie to be introduced at 12:45 presser, according to "sources."
