It’s Official: John Calipari to Kentucky

After a couple of crazy days, it is finally official, the next head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats will be John Calipari.

This is the home run hire that Kentucky needed.

The madness surrounding Calipari and Kentucky has been huge for this site and we appreciate everyone for checking in with the Pinkie consistently over the past couple of days.

It is our goal to provide the most in-depth Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals coverage, and I think that Guy Smiley has done a more-than-stellar job over the last couple days.

The proposition of Calipari at Kentucky is very exciting. Personally, I do not feel that Xavier Henry or Nolan Dennis should be allowed to follow Calipari to Kentucky since they have already signed LOI’s, but it will be interesting to see what happens with DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall.

We now turn the page from a highly publicized coaching search to roster changes that appear to be on the horizon. We will do our best to keep all of the Big Blue Nation informed on these moves. And there could be a lot of them.

Guy Smiley will be here soon to break down the roller coaster ride that was the Kentucky head coaching search. It was fun while it lasted but I need to get some real work done at my real job.

Now maybe I can do that.
