Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 08:04 PM) I'll guess that Henry and Cousins will both now go to UK probably and Evans will likely go pro. Henry can't go anywhere, as he's already signed a LOI. Cousins, as you stated, most definitely would probably follow Cal to Kentucky.

chimpy2121 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Talked to Solomon Alabi after class today and he said Hansbrough is tougher than Thabeet based on his experiences playing against the two. I thought that was a little interesting. Also, I got my laugh for the week as Hamilton has been rumored for the UGA job. I don't know what's funnier, the fact he would go to another rebuilding team or the fact that UGA wants him. Don't get me wrong though, I love Ham as a person. He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said some summer thing a couple of years ago (before Alabi hurt his leg). It might have been U-18 or one of those Big Men camps. That could mean that Thabeet wasn't fully developed, but I still thought it was interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it was a couple years ago I wouldnt really look into it. 2 years ago when Thabeet was a freshmen he wasnt nearly the player he is now. At that point, he had only been playing basketball for two years so that wouldnt surprise me if Hansbrough was tougher at that point.

nitetrain8601 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Apparently, Henry has an out in his LOI stating that if Calipari were to leave, he would be able to leave the school without any problems. I've heard this from different sources. The thing is though, does Kentucky even have enough scholarships with Meeks and Patterson both staying?

No, but keep in mind scholarships are technically reviewed every year, so there is a way around that. It would be pretty scandelous, but it could be done. I know of one coach of a prominent collegiate team in the midwest who used this loophole to get around keeping players who he considered not good enough when he first got to his new job years ago, and I know he's not the only guy to do something like that. Then again, this was a football coach, and something like that is a lot easier to do with 85 scholarships than it is 13.

Palehosefan Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 NCAA can't let those kind of agreemants stand. Otherwise the coaches have ALL of the power. They can move about freely if they don't get enough money and bring their players with them. Pretty absurd. Henry should be able to attend any of the other 323 D-1 schools, but not Kentucky.

Henry should be able to attend any of the other 323 D-1 schools, but not Kentucky. As long as the coaches have control of what personnel is on their team (which they obviously do with recruiting) and are the only ones getting paid out in the open (although we all know that most players at bigger programs get something under the table), they do have all of the power.

chimpy2121 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) DETROIT -- The Memphis coaching search has turned into a complete mess , and sources have said the name bouncing around most at this moment belongs to Florida State's Leonard Hamilton, which would be fine, I guess. He can get players, and assistant Stan Jones (a former Memphian) can help coach them. So that might be OK -- although I'd be skeptical of hiring a 60-year-old man to rebuild my program, but maybe I'm just stupid. Ugh. I don't mind it except I don't want to lose Snaer. Outside of that, I would love to see what a good X's and O's guy could do here with the talent. That seems like such a bad choice for Memphis though if true.

FedEx Jet: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N9FE I feel the same way about Bruce Pearl. I was hoping Memphis or some other team would steal him away, so we could hire an actual good X's and O's guy to see what could be done with our talent. Unfortunately, he just restructured his 6-year deal and doesn't look to be leaving any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
