According to my sources, Baylor's Scott Drew was never offered the job. He was asked to consider the job and, after sleeping on it last night, he has declined interest in coming to Kentucky.

Insane comeback by the
@KentuckyWBB
team. Knocks off

South Carolina on a Dre’una Edwards 3 with 4 seconds left. The Wildcats 1st SEC Tournament title since 1982!!
Hey True Blue Fans. Become a bigger fan of this kid. In 26 years on the job I don’t think I’ve seen an interview end and a player like
@CedrickDjr
shake the hand of every media members hand and say thank you.
I can confirm that there is NO coach in town today. None. No plane flew a coach into Lexington or the state to bring a coach in for an interview today. Not even from Waco.
The wait continues to find the next UK head basketball coach.

BREAKING NEWS:
Mark Stoops has signed his contract extension.
On the day UK plays in the Citrus Bowl he gets a raise from $4.85 million to $6.35. The last year of the contract from July 2027-July '28 it's up to $7.6 million.

I can confirm all of the national news media. UK is working on a deal to make Mark Pope the Wildcats next head basketball coach. But, I'm also told it's not anywhere near done.

It’s a slower day down here with UK Basketball focused on game 1 but it gave me a chance to hang out with a real celebrity. The Great American John Short made the trip with his friend Earl.

Thursday morning update:
*There’s a good chance we get a Scott Drew answer today. No presser expected today.
*If yes, UK would likely announce today or tomorrow with a press conference—Friday or maybe into Monday.
*It won’t happen on Saturday because of the Blue White game.
Coach Calipari has been talking about taking the electronics away from the
@KentuckyMBB
team the night before games.
What does
@lanceware55
think about it?

As SEC Nation gets close to coming on the air on the
@SECNetwork
, I was reminded of this video I got last week. It was a special moment to see
@TimTebow
spend a little time with this UK fan before the
@UKFootball
game.
Grove St. Party just started playing here at Camping World Stadium and the Wildcats are going crazy on the sideline. May be just what this team needs to help it put away the game with a score.

A deeper dive into that 1920
@CentreFootball
team that knocked off TCU by 56 in the bowl game.
Also beat Transy, UK, Georgetown... and played in front of 40,000 at Harvard.

@CentreC
It was awesome to help bring the
@CoachMarkPope
introductory to BBN along with

I can tell you I’ve also heard from good sources Kofi Cockburn is not coming to UK
It didn’t even get to the point where Kofi talked to Calipari.
UK is focusing its efforts on Jalen Duren.
Excited to board a bus for Urbana, Illinois to cover

Auburn in the opener 5-1. If the Wildcats can win one of the next two games they'll earn a spot in the SEC Tournament.
New UK offensive line coach Zach Yenser tells

says Coach Stoops told him, “I love it here, I love what we’ve built. I’m not going anywhere.”
When

It just so happens Johnny Cox is a cousin of mine and the family was excited to see others help make this happen--including
