So if we land John, will those who hated on HY apologize?

Not only that but I'll donate $5.00 to Edge.

[Pighair]

He was great when recruiting didn't involve NIL. Idk about now?

5 dollars a month even.

I remember being in high school and opening up a SI (or maybe ESPN magazine) and reading about Cal and his iteration of the dribble-drive motion in his early Memphis days.  Was always a fan of his since then, to the point of at least not hating him while he's at Kentucky... except for when he's playing Arkansas.  Fuck him on those days.

Cons: He's old-ish and the style is so common now. 

Pros: Have you seen the facilities at Kentucky, that were paid for by the success of his recruiting and winning a shit load of games?

It's funny though. Cal would cost more than double what Muss got paid. Maybe $10mill. For that kind of money almost any coach would take the job.

Why Cal? Why not someone younger? Unless this is one rich man's dream of a hire that won't pay for anyone else.

The latter, if it comes to that

He had the #1 class in the country last year.

If it does come to pass, there will be multiple SEC teams shitting their pants about their coach leaving for UK

Seems like he brings a lot to the table in our current predicament of not having a team.

Lets be honest this has the feel of a retirement gig for Cal. BUT I think he's still got it enough to get to a final four or two. I don't see Ark paying 10 mil per though.

someone on the rant said he is good friends with one of the big swinging dicks.

if this somehow turns out to be true, then yurachek didn't go thru jans, tang, or maybe even beard to 'fall back' on cal.
it would not have been a "hey john, everybody turned me down, you wanna be our coach"? situation.

If someone's flipping the bill for Cal then maybe NIL money will be there as well. The roster may refill quickly.

Might have been. HY might never have considered it a possibility, and then someone like Tyson reached out and Cal said he was interested

Chance to catch lightning in a bottle in a three year window with a guy who will be hungry. We're back up.

it would mean that the Tyson family is back in the Razorback game. John has been on the sidelines after getting crossways with Long. This is huge.

If it's Cal, there likely have been intentional leaks to divert attention elsewhere.
