This is no April Fool's. While many will say this is the wrong Billy, I am perfectly ok with this decision. Billy Gillispie will be announced as the new men's basketball coach for the University of Kentucky at 12:45 P.M. today, April 6.
He turned around a struggling Texas A&M program in two years.
Previosly 7-21, he took them to a 70-26 record over the past three seasons and a Sweet 16 birth in this years tourney. With our facilities and national prominence, he will obtain great recruits. He already has a head start after beating Louisville in Rupp earlier this year.
Congratulations Billy, I am looking forward to it.
