UK has permission to talk with Donovan

According to WKYT-27 in Lexington, Kentucky has asked for and been granted permission to talk to Billy Donovan. I don't live in the Lexington area, but I watched their late news on the web, and they did indeed say that this is happening. They said that their sources had given them this information, but did not say who that was.

This was reported at the same time as Andy Katz was on Sports Center on ESPN2 reporting that Florida had not yet been asked by Kentucky for permission to speak with Donovan. I believe Katz was just going off of what Donovan had said earlier in the day. Just because Kentucky has been given permission, doesn't mean that they have spoken to him yet.

Many people seem to think that the decision has usually been made when a school asks for formal permission, but that might not be the case here. I do think that there will be a decision by Saturday at the latest. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be tomorrow night, but I wouldn't count on it.
