Calipari



Sources have confirmed to LEX 18 that John Calipari has accepted an offer from Kentucky to become the next men's basketball coach for the Wildcats.
An earlier report by WMC-TV in Memphis said that Calipari will take over at UK and will bring his coaching staff, as well as at least two current Memphis players, with him to Lexington.
WMC's Jarvis Greer said that a "reliable source" told him that the two Memphis players who will transfer to UK are Wesley Witherspoon and Robert Sallie.
There are reports that at least two members of Calipari's top-rated recruiting class for next season, who have verbally committed to Memphis but have not signed letters of intent, may also follow him to Kentucky. They are 6-10 forward DeMarcus Cousins, and point guard John Wall, who has not verbally committed to Memphis but is considered likely to sign with Calipari.
Meanwhile, ESPN.com said in a story by Andy Katz posted late Monday afternoon that his sources say that the offer UK has made to Calipari is believed to be for eight years and around $35 million.
