((HT: WREG-TV3))Of course, Memphis coverage is wall-to-wall...
We check in with Glenn Carver who has some interesting names to take over should ((or "when")) Coach Cal ((pictured, thanks Memphis Commercial Appeal)) leaves for Lexington...
Those of us at OSG HQ have our own name to add, but we'll hold off for a day or so...
Let the presser happen, then we'll let you know...
Jerry Tipton's blog in Lexington has the process wrapping up...
UK president Lee Todd declined to confirm Calipari as the leading candidate. But when asked about the process on Monday, Todd said, “It’s going to move quickly.”
Stumbling blocks include the contract- the length and the compensation- as well as the recruits, both sets of Gillispie's that were headed in and Calipari's that were headed to Memphis.
Does Coach Cal dig any of Gillispie's guys...? Is he bringing all of his kids from Memphis...?
John Clay's blog has word from the MCA that Nolan Dennis' mom has said that there's a "deal" where Dennis would be released from his LOI if Cal leaves Memphis. Dennis, then, could follow in the caravan to Lexington.
Dan Wolken's work in the MCA follows that thought with two important others:
1) Calipari may have been lobbying for current UTEP coach, and former Tiger assistant, Tony Barbee in a meeting with high-falootin' Tiger boosters this afternoon.
2) Wesley Witherspoon, Roburt Sallie and Angel Garcia all may strongly consider transferring from Memphis if Calipari accepts the Kentucky job.
Memphis is expected to make a strong bid to keep Calipari with a financial package that would make him the highest paid coach in basketball, according to another source.
More when we know more...
