Former Memphis coach John Calipari has reportedly moved on to coach at the University of Kentucky.
This move suprises me a little because he has all the convenience in the world at Memphis. He can call the shots, he can bring in all the best recruits, etcetra, etcetra. Now all that is gone, he is going to a program that is demands much more than a Conference USA title every year. Just ask Billy Gillispie about that.
At Kentucky, you have to win a National Championship every third year or your as good as gone.
What does this mean for Memphis? I think it means they are going to lose their highly touted recruits and become a little bit worse but still should have no problem taking care of the rest of Conference USA. As long as Tyreke Evans stays aboard they can be real good.
What does this mean for Kentucky? I think this means that they are serious about getting back to being a title contender by "bringing the G-squad to Lexington" as Mike Fant puts it. Calipari has no problem reeling those guys in. But in all honesty, I think that Calipari should be what UK needs to get back to the top.
