🛬 Cincinnati Come greet @CoachCalhoun_UC tomorrow at 1 p.m. at Fifth Third Arena!

@getrichordietri @PeteThamel Well this insecure little man can’t even use google

@PeteThamel Congrats Cincinnati, you hired the guy who turned Utah State into a tournament team for one year. Hope the $22M+ deal ages better than the last coach’s tenure🤣🤣

Jerrod Calhoun has agreed to a six-year with Cincinnati deal that starts at $3.7 million per year, per ESPN sources.

“I was reading my Bible this morning - Mark 9:23… All is possible with the one who believes. That’s what I was thinking in my head the whole entire time.” - Sebastian Korda after upsetting World #1 Carlos Alcaraz at the Miami Open 🎥: @TennisChannel (HT @BrandonDeRousse)

ICYMI: @RobDauster on Cincinnati hiring Jerrod Calhoun 👀 "I do think this is a really good fit because you got a Cincinnati guy. A guy that came up under Bob Huggins and really understands Cincinnati basketball who can really coach." 🎥: youtu.be/iFKRgMiR6mg

Kentucky’s opponent on Sunday, the No. 2 ranked Iowa State Cyclones, are one of the seven teams who meet the historical criteria to win the national title, including the following categories: - Didn’t lose three out its last four games - Didn’t endure a five-game losing streak - Wasn’t unranked in the AP poll for entire season - Didn’t lose before the semifinals of the conference tournament - Weren’t seeded No. 9 through No. 16 - Enjoyed a six-game win streak - Did not suffer a 25-point defeat - Top 12 in AP poll by week six On the flip side, Kentucky just missed out on some of these groups, and the Cyclones may be without Josh Jefferson, their leading rebounder who also averages 16.4 PPG and 4.8 APG. Definitely going to be an interesting game. 🎥: @TNTSportsUS | #BBN

Jerrod Calhoun is an ELITE ball coach What he did at Youngstown State, to anyone who knows anything about that job, is NOT normal He pushes his guys, plays to each player’s strengths, prepares at a high level, and has a great staff

@UNMLobosEnjoyer @BradenTClark Just real fans holding people accountable for making stuff up

@BradenTClark was not expecting this to get deep in the Cincy world lol. this place is ruthless

Remember all the craziness surrounding Kalani Sitake to Penn State back in December? I'm gonna need that level of crazy for Utah State. The Aggies are not going out without a fight, that's for sure.

@BradenTClark @UNMLobosEnjoyer You love when people talk about things the have no idea about. He will be working with upwards of $10Mil next year lol

There's a lot more to it than that. Cincinnati is so far removed from the top of the Big 12 in terms of investment into the program. Jerrod Calhoun, if he were to accept it, would need guarantees that they're planning to compete with those schools. He's not going to leave to have to fight uphill to win championships.
