Where we stand

Its a very awkward feeling today knowing Kentucky won't be showing up on any NCAA brackets, but its happened before and i will happen again. Hopefully, just not in the near future. One thing is clear though -- while most people might like to see a change in coaching before next season, odds say it probably won't happen. The one thing UK has going for it now is next year's recruiting class. And if Gillispie is told to hit the road, you can take it to the bank that some of our #14 rated recruiting class will have second thoughts about coming to Lexington. Here's what Jon Hood's father said to Jerry Tipton at the SEC Tournament:
But a Gillispie firing would give the Hoods pause.

"I don't think it's in the realm of possibility," the recruit's father said. "If it were to happen, it's something you sit back and re-evaluate. He signed with the University of Kentucky. At the same time, the guy he plays for matters."

Is it worth it? Especially when a homegrown Kentucky boy's (who is being compared to Rex Chapman) decision hangs in the balance. I say no. Next year will be a defining moment for Billy Clyde.
