I'm not fond of anonymous commenters, but I got one that probably deserves a reply:
Jay Wright to Florida???
No. For the same reasons as Kentucky. He was a blown knee away from a Final Four, and maybe even a national championship. Seriously. Put a healthy Curtis Sumpter on the floor, and that 2006 team would have been more than legit enough to win it all, given how wide open things were that year.
If he can get the guys he gets -- and coach the U.S. Pan Am Games team to boot -- while on the Main Line, playing a few times a year at the Wachovia Center and being front and center in the Big East, why leave?
And in particular, why leave for a football school whose now-former basketball coach was reported to have been occasionally dissatisfied with that school's attitude towards his sport?
Oh, and furthermore: Virginia Commonwealth's Anthony Grant is clearly the Gators' top choice, which has been reported by a bunch of people on ESPN.com. The latest news comes from Mark Schlabach, who writes here that Florida AD Jeremy Foley has already sought and received permission to talk to Grant.
