Bye Bye Billie

Just yesterday, the University of Kentucky was saying that they would take their time to evaluate Coach Gillespie's tenure at UK before making any decisions about his future in Lexington.  Today, he's gone!  Mark Story has a great story about who might fill his shoes.

Without a doubt, UK fans will be pushing for Billy Donovan or John Calipari.  Both of those would be outstanding in Kentucky blue.  It seems that Donovan might be a better fit.  He would love to get to a real basketball school.  Calipari completely controls his sad conference and certainly gets paid handsomely.   Travis Ford is a hot coach right now and Izzo may have run the course in East Lansing.  Lots of interesting names out there, especially when it is one of the top basketball schools in the nation.  How about Jeff Capel?

I'm guessing it won't be Capel or Ford.  Kentucky just got burned on former Big 12 coaches.  Look for Billy Donovan to be the guy!

Here are the candidates!

Here are the basketball schools in order:

1. North Carolina

2. Kentucky

3. Kansas

4.  UCLA

5.  Duke

Kentucky's biggest fan, Ashley Judd, could be their best recruiter!
