Tough to compete with rampant cheaters when you run a clean program.

Simmons is related to a coach on staff and Blakney is good friends with Simmons

That wasn't hard to "wonder"

Sure, makes total sense that a "friend" would go and repeat to a reporter that BD was tired of getting beat.

Donovan really wasn't the best gameday coach and X/O for that matter. Brady used to own him.

Donovan is 1000x the coach Calipari will ever be. I can't wait till you mildcats meet NCAA Probation coming over the middle.

everybody knew Billy hated recruiting, not the type to kiss arse. You're either in or you're not. He wasn't going to risk that by doing sleezeball shite like the guy at uk

Donovan is a great coach. Hate to see him leave the SEC. I doubt he left because of Calipari. Recruiting is cyclical. Possible UF hires:

Archie Miller
Baby Pitino
Mark Gottfried

Timing is bad in that S. Smart has already inked with Texas. I'm sure UF would have made a run at him.

LSU also benefited from AAU politics with Blakeney. Otherwise he was probably good as gone to Louisville.


The big picture is that it's incredible all of these 'croots are considering LSU in the first place. A nice moral victory to take away from the Newman sweepstakes, Elijah Thomas too

Last I checked, Cal was 12-5 against Billy. My math is fuzzy, but that doesn't equal 1000x.

I don't want little Pitino.

Archie would fit what Foley usually looks for. Is he ready to move? Don't know.

Pitino jr is definitely not on the list, neither is Gottfried. Miller is the prime target according to our beat writer. And the timing def sucks, because you could bet your arse Shaka would be our coach.
