Earlier this afternoon, the bombshell dropped that Jai Lucas is leaving Kentucky to be an assistant on Jon Scheyer’s staff at Duke. John Calipari is now sharing his thoughts on the news with the Big Blue Nation. In a statement on social media, Calipari writes that Lucas informed him of his decision yesterday and he fully supports him because he’s doing what’s best for his family.
“Yesterday, Jai informed me he was taking a promotion at another school. I asked where and when he told me Duke, he expected me to be mad. I support what he thinks is best for his family.
