Look on the right side, I can't get the article to come up. Whoa, little early to pull the trigger on that one ESPN.

on the college basketball front page under rumors. insider article so no idea if its just linking to previous rumor..
Even more reason to look at him:
"After leading both UTEP and Texas A&M to postseason appearances one year after poor seasons, Gillispie became the only college basketball coach to be in charge of the NCAA program with the biggest turnaround in two consecutive seasons. Gillispie is known as an excellent recruiter who has managed to put together four straight top-25 recruiting classes. In his three seasons at A&M, the Aggies achieved three consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time ever"
To the people saying he was only good at recruiting because he was in Texas:
"During his tenure at Kentucky, Gillispie snagged numerous high profile recruits. These included three 5* recruits according to Scout.com (Patrick Patterson, Daniel Orton & Dominique Ferguson) and five 4* recruits (Alex Legion, DeAndre Liggins, Darius Miller, Kevin Galloway and Jon Hood)."

It is an ESPN insider article. We need someone who can access that to give us the scoop.
IF YOU ARE AN ESPN INSIDER, look at that article and copy/paste it on this thread
I can physically do it, but I also pay for it. I'm telling you there's nothing new though.
Man I want to win as much as the next guy, but I would really question this move. I am torn. I think Greg is a good coach and an even better guy but it just has not worked here. I would not be upset if he got another year. If we do let him go I would hope we would get someone besides Gillespie.
