“Any news on Patterson or Lucas?”
It’s the question that launched KSR to the mainstream back in 2007, and thirteen years later, here we are again. In case you missed the bombshell news yesterday, sources tell KSR that Kentucky is close to adding Jai Lucas to the coaching staff. Should the deal go through, the former Florida Gator turned Texas Longhorn turned Texas Longhorn assistant would take on a primary recruiting role, while Indiana assistant Bruiser Flint would focus on the Xs and Os. Neither hire has been made official yet, but it’s clear that John Calipari is ready to get creative with Kenny Payne’s $900,000 per year salary.
