Good Call Andy
>> Tuesday
Here is a free sample of some fine insider information from ESPN.com college basketball analyst Andy Katz (It was in their free preview section, so I'm not violating any copyright laws):
First off, any report that said Donovan authorized his representative to negotiate with Kentucky is simply not true, according to sources close to Donovan, Florida and Kentucky. Donovan is focused on playing UCLA and nothing else right now.
A little bit naive there Andy. While ESPN has apparently taken an anti-Kentucky stance (their success must hit too close to home for the ACCSPN), printing these out and out lies is laughable. People who have followed ths situation closely know that it's Donovan's job for the taking, with it being very likely Donovan will be the next Kentucky coach. While Donovan may understandly be wanting to backpedal away from the rumors, a respected news organization should not be presenting what Donovan wants the people to know. Of course, it's ESPN we are talking about, so calling them a respected news organization would be a major stretch.
Now, there is one positive from subscribing to ESPN Insider: every so often their forced subscription to ESPN the Magazine provides quality bathroom reading material.

For wiping?
Clearly implied, I thought. Or at least to be soiled by its proximity to unmentionable bathroom acts.
Nothing says hush-up like the phrase, "simply not true." It's almost denial-ish. His track record when making such black-white statements is poor, I'm told.
About a week ago, he listed who would not be taking the Minnesota job. On that list, you guessed it: Tubby Smith.
In his defense, no one saw that coming. But the lesson being, don't make cocksure statements like that because it makes you look like a jackass later.
Why would they want Donovan, when they could have Tommy Amaker?
I don't know why people think this will affect the way Florida plays.
"Hey guys, you've probably heard that I'm going to Kentucky next year. I'm not going to lie, it's true."
"It's okay coach, we're all leaving too."
Their top six scorers are all either graduating or going to the NBA. Then again, maybe Walter Hodge feels deserted and will mope through Atlanta, costing them the championship by failing to contribute his 5.8 points and 1.5 assists.
