Billy G

It looks like Kentucky might finally have their coach. ESPN is reporting that Kentucky has permission to speak with Billy Gillispie, and that he will likely be named the new head coach, maybe as early as Friday.

I expected everything to move quickly after Donovan said he wasn't interested, and it looks like that's what is happening. It's good to get this done and get on to recruiting.

I'm very happy with Gillispie as the new coach. He is a big rising name, and will want to make his mark on the program. He worked wonders at Texas A&M by turning around their whole program. He is going to inherit a much better situation at Kentucky, and he will have them playing hard all the time. There might not be a ton of talent at UK next year, but you can bet that Gillispie will make sure he gets results. He won't let his first year in this program be unsuccessful.

But, he isn't officially hired yet, and that means anything can still happen.
