The Calipari Homestretch?

by @ 2:31 pm. Filed under Blue Blooded Opinions

Sorry I have been MIA the last two days…this Calipari news has found me on two days when law had me kidnapped. I am back in the mainstream by 8 tonight.

Three quick things….

All Memphis outlets are reporting its done and that he is coming to UK. Cant get any of my UK sources to confirm this….however like with the Gillispie dismissal, I have NO ONE who believes he will not be here.

— I was innudated with calls today after my earlier posts confirming that the 2010 recruits and beyond were a real issue for Calipari throughout this whole thing. I am not sure the issue has been resolved, but it has been a major topic of discussion.

— Lots of questions about the roster….if Calipari comes, I will get into what I have heard at that point.

Stay tuned and we will let you know as soon as we have it….this site is likely to hit over half a million hits today….phenomenal.

    I find myself overcome. I have been begging for Calipari on this blog since the Jai Lucas days and now it has come to pass. The next six months may well seem like a lifetime.

    Nothing going on outside the Memphis AD office. They’re just filming outside the door. LOL.

    How much meat from Boone’s Butcher Shop, Plam Print Promotions, Lingo Tees do we need to buy so that you can upgrade your web server?

  7. ThatsAShame Says:

    I hope he plays some zone or the honeymoon will be over quick!! (jk)

    4. With no due respect please take that trash to TCP, or just find another way of expressing your excitement

  9. SlickRick48 Says:

    I’m really curious about what happens with recruits and current players. I understand many aren’t up to our level, but that is not their fault they were offered. The University does have some obligation to honor its word.

  10. votedmostlikelytokickurazz Says:

    I stand corrected. It seems as though they have shifted coverage to Cal’s house and more people are approaching it…I feel like a stalker.

  11. 3 fan Says:

    The sticking point over the verbals should tell EVERYONE what other coaches think about the talent level of the verbals (outside DFerg).
    They were going to bring UK further down

    Fox new station live stream from John Calipari’s home.

    MATT JONES YOUR SITE IS THE GREATEST THING EVER MAN!! THE INFO THAT GOES THROUGH THIS SITE IS UNREAL…..I CANT BELIEVE YOU GUYS DO ALL THIS RESEARCH AND ITS TOTALLY FREE! IT JUST BLOWS ME AWAY HOW MARC MAGGARD’s SITE CHARGES MONEY FOR INFO THAT WE GET ALOT QUICKER AND ALOT MORE DEPTH!!!….I COME TO THIS SITE ATLEAST 6 TIMES A DAY….THANKS FOR EVERYTHING….ITS THE GREATEST!!…IF IF WASNT FOR THIS SITE I WOULD BE LOST!! AND IF U EVER DECIDED TO CHARGE I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DONATE MY MONEY…JUST BECAUSE ITS WELL WORTH IT!!..THANKS ALOT AGAIN!!…GO BIG BLUE!!!

  14. fearnloathing20 Says:

    11. Great point that has been overlooked in all this.

    Billy really was gonna bring this program to the ground. Dont get me wrong Cal could come in here and get a bunch of NCAA sanctions, but Billy was getting no talent…which the positive people would not hear of. Well thank god that moron is gone.

    8. NUT

    If you want maturity I recommend Tipton…he is FULL of information. Loosen up that tie a little Bible Thumper.

  15. utahdrought Says:

    there’s a whole 5 fans that have gathered at cal’s house

  16. UKfaninAlabama Says:

    I’m guessing that Ferguson is the 2010 recruit that he doesn’t have a problem with…lol. He is the exact type of player that Cal loves.

  17. MEEKSatterson Says:

    8.) NUT NUT NUT…ohh in your eye one time!..nut nut all over your face!

  18. BLUEBALLS Says:

    midnight madness will last 6 months…

    this is more exciting than Pitino! I don’t remember where
    I was when Pitino came over….I’ll NEVER forget today!! EVER!!

    GO BIG BLUE!!!

  19. BJ Says:

    The Memphis news channel (with the live feed of the door) just confirmed Calipari to UK

  20. ColoradoCat Says:

    8) Sorry, I suppose I could go over to TCP, but im only good for about one of those a day (its a part of being middle aged).
    However, for coach cal, i might be able to muster up an exception, if you know what I mean.

  21. ibleedbluedoyou Says:

    Can anyone confirm that UK scheduled a 4:00 press conference?

  22. seattleUKdiehard Says:

    CJ front page with more quotes from Joe B. Hall!!

  23. jon in jeff Says:

    21- haven’t heard of one. Doubt there will be one today if he is still in Memphis. More likely tomorrow morning. If all of this is true.

  24. StitchJonesSays Says:

    Stitch is ready for Coach Cal! GO BIG BLUE!

  25. Chris Minton Says:

    anyone else notice that today is the one year anniv. of mr wildcat passing away?

  26. MattO Says:

    So, assuming this is true… will the pep rally be even bigger then it was for BCG?

  27. BigBlueFan Says:

    26 probably more than the 10 fans outside Calipari’s door begging him to stay.

  28. monstermash Says:

    you know that Boone’s Butcher enjoys all the Bonus Impressions

  29. crazydave Says:

    26….yes, they could probably have it on the 50 yard line in Commonwealth

  30. JerryTownBlotter Says:

    NICK “Butthead” CALATHES declares for NBA draft - not hiring agent yet.

  31. Basteballer Says:

    Chris Minton: I commented a couple of hours ago that I couldn’t believe it was already past noon and there still was no KSR tribute to Mr. Keightley.

  32. quietude38 Says:

    I’ve been trying to click a few ads every day through all this just to help pay the bills.

    Now, let’s get this announced, Mitch!

  33. jon in jeff Says:

    32- If this is true, you will probably not see an official annoucement by UK today. More likely we will get a report from Memphis saying that he has left with a presser from the UK camp tomorrow morning.

  34. jaxcat07 Says:

    MATT-

    It’s been 2 hours. WE NEED AN UPDATE!!!

  35. drmarc Says:

    How’bout them Tyson “Any’tizers”……mmmmmmmmmmm…..

  36. catinlvl Says:

    My computer not showing updates past 3:46 - this is a test to see if the system is just jammed up - sorry.

    John Calipari Reportedly Wavering On Decision
    Staff Writer
    12:25 PM CDT, March 31, 2009

    (Memphis 3/31/2009) News Channel 3 has learned from a source very close to the program that U of M coach John Calipari has met with members of his staff at his home and has announced his decision on the University of Kentucky job.
    All indications are that he is moving to Kentucky.

    HOWEVER, we have been told by someone close to the Calipari family that John Calipari keeps changing his mind and nothing is definite.

    Former Kentucky coach Joe B. Hall told us he did speak with Calipari about the job but that Calipari did NOT say he was accepting the position.

    We have live crews stationed in the area as well as working with our sister station in Lexington, KY.

    I’ll buy.

  44. BigJHagan Says:

    Wow, I think I am running out of positive thoughts.

  45. Browntown Says:

    I’ve watched The Door for hours today. It’s riveting. So unpredictable.

  46. catinlvl Says:

    Memphis news saying decision has become very, very emotional, plane on the way, he may not get on it. WREG, just watched it.

  47. UKfaninAlabama Says:

    42- I like the way Scoop is thinking!

  48. BgallowayUofK Says:

    Now they are reporting he is having second thoughts….

    interesting, if cal were to come, how cousins adds “with coach cal” after the reporter says “but you want to be at memphis.” sounds like playing for cal is the most important thing to him.

  50. UTCATFAN Says:

    Fox 13 in memphis Reports that a chartered jet from Kentucky is on its way to memphis to pick up Coach Cal. If he gets on the plane he is coming to Lexington for good according to their sources
