Bring Rick Pitino back in my 63 years more excitement during his UK tenure. Rick played the Kentucky boys Farmer, Pelphrey , Fieldhouse, Padgett, Mills etc. and was a national power. In 96 National Championship, 97 Derek Anderson injury cost him another championship, 98 National Champions a team that Rick left Tubby that was loaded. In Kentucky basketball only Rupp has a higher winning Percentage and he didn't do it with a bunch of 5 star recruits. Recruiting will not be a problem for Pitino they will come and UK will become prominent again instantly. I watched the Cal introduction to Arkansas he is the most arrogant blow bag I have ever heard. With Rick the priority will be about national championships 1st and development and promoting NBA players along the way. I have always said no blueblood on the floor no championship for UK and Reed Shepherd gave us that hope and a spirit to watch again after the disrespectful kneeling in Florida (hopefully they all are gone Barnhart should have fired him then). It would be great if Shepherd stayed another year and Perry joined him in the back court next year. GO GET RICK
