Charlotte guard Denzel Ingram is transferring, per the school. Two years of eligibility remaining.

Shot 43% from the field and 44% from 3. Not sure if he would fit but seems to be good shooter.
 
Looks like it could very well be a all SEC final. If that don't make your stomach turn I don't know what would.
 
Manhattan is retaining coach Massiello. Good call for them, he is a very good coach and they are lucky stuff fell through at USF. He can build them into a consistent NCAA/NIT program...

Sad part is he will just leave after next season now.

Wow, Rex Chapman says on Twitter that win or lose, John Calipari will be leaving Kentucky to coach the Los Angeles Lakers.
 
He should coach the NBA. There is nothing left for Calipari to do in college basketball. He is already running a NBA like program at UK. Wouldn't be much different.
 
I used to not like UCONN because of Calhoun, but now I'm happy they are winning for the conference.
 
People take everything so seriously. I'll see it when I believe it...
Chapman is someone who would be in a position to hear things. Also Lakers are a top NBA job. Let see live in Lexington or LA with the cash to enjoy it. Seems like a no brainer to me. Plus the landscape in the NCAA is not that great at this time. Northwestern and Ed O'bannon case iare lurking. If i was him i'd be gone. Hell they were just complaining in Lexington about the one and doners before he went on a nice run in the tourney.

Calipari isn't as wanted by NBA teams as people think. The new wave of NBA coaches like Kidd in Brookyln, Hornacek in Phoenix, Vaughn in Orlando, Shaw in Denver and Jackson in Golden State are all former players.

NBA teams are targeting guys like Hoiberg at Iowa State or Kevin Ollie at UConn before someone like Calipari. I would even imagine someone like Bill Self or Tom Izzo being considered ahead of Calipari.

It seems that the NBA is more about players, if Calipari can attract Lebron or top free agents like Kevin Love to a team, that would make him look a lot more favorable. Phil Jackson was hired for the same reason, to keep Carmelo and attract top FA's.

I don't think that Bill Self or Izzo are being considered above Cal and other coaches. If that was the Case, they would have been looked at before one of the best jobs (Boston) offered and Stevens always was their first choice.

Maybe now that one of the top young coaches NBA teams will look at whales like Izzo or Self.

"The Celtics talked to a few other candidates, but Stevens was the first"
