    He IS a great recruiter, but it's hard to not wonder if he's doing anything shady. I mean, he's got the #1, #2, and #3 rated kids leaning towards Memphis, along with 3 other 4-star athletes. What's he doing to get the absolute cream of the crop?!

     

     

    I only think Henry might choose Kansas, as he came very close to coming to KU, and his family went to school there. Maybe he'd like his chances of going further in the NCAA tournament in 2010 with Kansas rather than Kentucky.

     

     

    I'm hearing Missouri is doing all possible to keep Mike Anderson. Would Memphis be a better job than Missouri?

     

     

    Lets say he is clean. Only way I can see this is that he tells the high level recruits that if they are one and done that's fine with him? Some schools would shy away from this. I think.

     

     

    No way Memphis is a better job than Missouri. Anderson has already been in CUSA once before. I wouldn't think he would take a step back. Also, he would have to live in this shit hole.

    That's not a given.

     

    Xavier Henry signed for Memphis. He would need a release from Memphis OR sit out a year.

    Demarcus Cousins and John Wall can go wherever they want....they haven't signed. Cousins might decide to go to Kentucky, but Wall might be interested in Duke or Kansas.

     

    Calpari is a great recruiter but maybe just a decent coach. His team look horrific defensively against Missouri...inexcusable with that athletic talent.

     

     

    I'm a believer of recruits commit to a coach not a school unless they are home bred.

     

    One Tiger recruit could go with Calipari; Xavier Henry has no opinion yet

    The mother of one University of Memphis basketball recruit says the letter-of-intent he signed with the school in the fall would allow him to follow John Calipari to another school. The brother of another recruit says no opinion has been formed about the possible departure.

     

    Carol Dennis, the mother of University of Memphis recruit Nolan Dennis, told The Commercial Appeal today that the letter-of-intent her son signed last fall contains an addendum that would allow him to follow Calipari to another school.

     

    Carol Dennis said neither she nor her son had heard from the coaching staff at Memphis about whether Calipari planned on leaving for the University of Kentucky.

     

    However, she also said it was not fair to say that her son would definitely ask out of his letter if Calipari were to go to Kentucky.

    Calipari deal with Kentucky 'close, but it's not quite done'

    Tell Gary your opinion!

     

     

     

    Kentucky officials expect John Calipari to accept an offer to become their program's next basketball coach, a source close to the school told CBSSports.com on Monday. The source said UK believes it could introduce Calipari within the next 48 hours, that athletic director Mitch Barnhart is merely waiting for the "Yes" he believes is imminent, barring an unsuspected hang-up in the final stages of negotiations.

    From the local sportswriter page here in Lexington...

     

     

    If UK gets cal, they jump to having the number 1 recruiting class in the country. Cal has 3 of the top 5 recruits in the nation committed, and they will all follow him.

    Yeah, not bad. I'm just happy they're done with Gottfried. Always had good players but very rarely could he keep them in school. And they never quite played up to potential. I was sort of hoping for the Missouri coach, but this should do.

     

     

    Mike Anderson will come back to arkansas some day.
