Yeah I’ve seen rumors now that his Mother in law vetoed the move which is weird if true

This must be Drew's MIL....

It's kind of like deciding between Destination A where you're in the middle of nowhere and there are a bunch of crazy zealots or Destination B where you can't find a dentist and there are a bunch of crazy inbred people.

Yes, that is a very unfair stereotypical statement (that was the point), please don't take offense.

Going to have to be more specific on which school is A or B.

B is Iowa City.

If Drew does turn them down, man what an embarrassment for Kentucky. Donovan, Wright, Hurley, Oats all turn them down without even a second thought and Drew then meets with them only to turn them down. I read that Underwood might be the next guy they go to if it isn't Drew.

Also read that Shaka Smart is a name. May turn out to be a positive for ISU if either were to take it.

Damn if they whiff on Drew the drop off to that next group is pretty steep. It’s a pretty unique spot where you absolutely need a glad-hander as much as a solid basketball coach.

Yeah. It’s an ugly group. I don’t think underwood has the temperament for Kentucky.

They might end up with Mark Pope. Probably not a popular sell to their extremely spoiled fanbase, but he is a UK guy.

Yikes.

Yikes.

Watching Bluebloods suffer

 

[Halincandenza]

Read that Drew's dad and other coaching friends are telling him to take the UK job. But who knows what is actually true in these scenarios.

 

[LLCoolCY]

Now what UK?

 

[Messi]

Now what UK?

they can still afford to be patient knowing they have Mark Pope who will say yes to the first offer

Ehhh….they can’t have it look like a ton of people turned them down.

A

Now what UK?

Kentucky fan base can honestly say “ We didn’t want him anyway.”

 

[BCoffClone125]

Seems like a win for the Big 12 to keep one of your coaches away from a bluebood program in one of the rich conferences (SEC and B1G). Hoping Underwood gets poached instead of Pope, BYU being good is also good for the Big 12.

 

[nfrine]

Fran is still available...

The transfer portal closes on 4/30.

 

[awd4cy]

It is nice to see the Big 12 retain great coaches. Low key kinda ok that he’s staying.
