"I was pursued pretty aggressively by them and we’ll just leave it at that out of respect for everybody involved," Stoops said, per On3's Andrew Graham. "There’s a lot of people over the years and a lot of interactions between people, but it was very brief. I was pursued, I had a job to do."

Stoops confirmed in late November that another school contacted him, but he "knew in my heart I couldn’t leave the University of Kentucky right now."
