    Fuck Calipari and his greedy ass. He is the second best paid coach in the country and he still is looking for more moeny. Not to mention all his recruits will follow him to Kentucky.

    Is he second?
    I thought he was at least third, I thought Donovan and Self were higher, but that's a wild guess.

    Cousins hasn't signed yet and the reason he went to Memphis is because of Cal. They all follow him to Kentucky.

    Not coming here to say I told you so, but I can confirm that Calipari was talking with Arizona through back channelsall year and before Billy G was fired from Kentucky Cal was very likely headed to Arizona.

    Kentucky can suck a fat one for offering up not only the most rediculious contract in all of NCAA sports ($6.67 mil per for a college coach) but buying out Gillespie at the same time. That is just unheard of, especially considering our economy.

    I cant stand Kentucky and I already hated them nearly as much as UCLA/Duke.

    By the way, when the rest of the details of the Calipari deal to Kentucky come out Memphis fans are going to hate Calipari.

    There is a good possibility Memphis has as much of a recruiting class after Calipari leaves as Arizona does right now (0).

    I have a question Tucson, a greedy one. Kansas got a Center named Jeff Withey, but i don't know much about him, and i guess he left Arizona after Lute left. What do you know about him. Sorry to go off topic.

    I believe he set the single season shot blocking record for the state of California his senior year. He definitely is a very good recruit, not really a traditional post up big man but he can step out and hit some jumpers. He is athletic and is pretty good in transition. I think he will turn out well no matter where he ends up but he was expected to be a shot blocking force in the paint.

    I would say he could be somewhat comparable to a Heyvelt w/ less range, am I right?
