I would suspect that BYU takes a step back next year. I wonder how all of those "Way too Early" polls will change now.

Breaking news: Kentucky has lined up BYU's Mark Pope to be its next coach, sources tell @CBSSports. Nothing is signed at this hour but the sides are quickly working toward a deal and hope to get it done by the end of the night.

UK should consider a proven winner currently not coaching
”The Bob Huggins”. Hey they would have take the baggage, but honestly is Pitino a better choice? At least a consideration……..thoughts???

@JonRothstein -- Sources: BYU's Mark Pope is a candidate for the head coaching vacancy at Kentucky. Pope was a member of the 1996 national title team in Lexington

This one's a no brainer to me and I think this is the end of their search.

Wes Miller, "wild card" option? https://247sports.com/college/kentuc...all-230284332/

UK's plane is in NYC. Everybody thinks it's Pitino again.

No way---hiring quick Rick shows everyone involved with UK has no class at all. Although, XU did the same thing
hiring Sean Miller-no class ever! JMHO

UK may end up with Mick as 12th choice

Maybe they want a reuben from Harold's.

Seems like there is some pro UK buzz for Scott Drew -- seems like we'd hear something today. Also thought I saw something about Grant McCasland (Texas Tech) being in play for Baylor if that job comes open.

Scott Drew is staying at Baylor, per various national media

Kentucky has also reportedly been turned down by Jay Wright
