re: Hearing Nate Oats will be the number one target for the now vacant spot at Michigan

Almost anyone would leave almost anywhere for Kentucky.

Why? Oats has already proven he can get good enough talent that he could win a title at bama. Same goes for Bruce at Auburn.

Why go to the pressure cooker that is UK basketball (and well earned), when he could win a title at bama without the extra outside distractions. Again, same with Bruce.

If Oats or Bruce were to win a NC, they would each be instant legends at their current school. If they win one at UK, it’s “Good job, now go to the back of the line”. Much like a football coach at bama. Dabo would be nuts to leave Clemson for bama (not that bama would ever offer) because the best he could ever be there would be #3 or #4.

I’ve been wrong many times before, but, unless bama has not shown Oats the support he thinks he needs, I think he’ll stay. Bama can definitely compete financially.
