    Kentucky hater? Me? Whatever gave you that idea?

    Mike Davis is a fabulous recruiter! He'll take the Wildcats to the next level. That's a sincere endorsement...

    We are serious about Davis. Great recruiter, had the Hoosiers in the title game, tough disciplinarian, great with the press. He's your man.

    I can't even remember how many times I heard him say in a press conference something like "I can't make them run the plays I call."
    "I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."

    Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.

    On a serious note, did he not at one point say he hated Kentucky?

    Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
    Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
    Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
    University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
    Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

    I think he did. He played at Alabama so I'm sure there was some animosity there.

    I just took a look at Rick Barnes' career record, since he's being touted by the media as the next choice, and I am UNIMPRESSED! What exactly has he done to deserve this status as the second choice?

    Please, no Barnes!

    I think my top two choices are Mark Few and Tom Izzo.

    As good as Mark Few has done recruiting at Gonzaga, hopefully he'd carry those west coast connections with him and hire some assistants who know the south.

    I don't think Mark Few is going to leave Gonzaga - just a feeling I have. Not yet anyway.

    How dare you suggest that Mark Few wouldn't take the UK job. You hate UK and all it stands for and are a boob.

    I can practically gaurantee that Mike Davis would take the UK job.

    At this point, I think Pat Summitt would be a safe choice.

    Cedric may have had the best recommendation of the thread - Todd Bozeman.
