Awesome hire for the Wildcats.. no wonder he had been hesitant to sign the long term deal with Texas A&M |

Re: Billy Gillespie to Kentucky
I think he will be a great fit at KU. Still somewhat sleazy that he ended up going there after signing a big extension at TA&M.

Plus, TAMU's AD gave UK permission, he knew what was gonna happen. Gonna be interesting to see who if anyone comes to UK with him, he had the #2 center coming to TAMU. |

Terrible day for Aggies (my brother is one). What Gillispie did at A&M in 3 years was nothing short of spectacular. Hope the UK fans give him at least one season before they are ready to throw him under the bus.

A weak Big 12 has just gotten weaker. Self and Barnes will rule this conference for years to come.

[/ QUOTE ] The lofty expectations of UK fans have been one of the most exaggerated aspects of this coaching situation over the last few weeks. For the most part, Kentucky fans want to be one of the top teams in the SEC and be competitive at a national level most years. We do not expect to win a national championship (or even make a final four) every year. I think the world of Tubby Smith, but he definetely, from a results standpoint, was leading the program in the wrong direction. I would have loved for him to have turned things back around in Lexington, but it was not to be. I am really looking forward to seeing what Gillispie can accomplish here at UK. |
