Derrick Rose Scenarios

Well, with the news of Tubby Smith taking the job at Minnesota, there is already speculation that John Calipari, coach at Memphis being the replacement at Kentucky. Should Calipari actually be chosen, there is a chance that Derrick Rose could be released from his commitment to Memphis, and reopen his recruitment. Apparently, his brother, Reggie Rose has commented that they could reconsider Champaign if that scenario happened. This is probably a 100 to 1 odds scenario, but stranger things have happened. Rose being added to Illini's 2007 class would put the class in the top 5 or 10 in the country, in my opinion, and reposition Illinois' prospects for next season. It would also provide some great freshman matchups against Indiana next year with Eric Gordon.

Go John Calipari!

Coach Webber has already said it will not happen! So get off the horse. It's been dead for over 6 months since letter of intent day!

Ron, Not going to happen.

I think Illini fans would be best to move on.

Ron,

First two are mine. I forgot to Id the first one. I sent Mike over! No surprise there. Check the IP's silly.
Tried to get Shelly to come over too but she is not a sports geek.

Move on Dude! No way Rose will ever be an Illini. Support who is on your team not waste time dreaming about what was never gone to happen. At the legal pub we have a saying:

Want some cheese with your whine! Start talking football.
