I've read a lot of posts (not just here) the last couple of days about Vic leaving. I've also read a lot of posts stating how far back we'd fall when he does leave.

If we can assume that he would leave us for A&M, shouldn't we assume Matthew Mitchell would leave Kentucky for us? I haven't seen anybody mention it but that would be a great replacement if and when the time comes that Vic does decide to leave.

His resume:

He's from Louisville Mississippi.

An MSU Alumn

Coached high school basketball in Mississippi.

Spent a year under Pat Summitt.

Been the head coach at Kentucky for the past 11 years.

Has a 256?117 (.686) record at UK and is 108?64 (.628) in the SEC.

8 NCAAT Appearances

3 Elite 8 Finishes

2 Sweet 16 Finishes

Never lost in the 1st round in post season.

2x SEC Coach of the Year

Just something to think about. I don't claim to know his situation, nor Vic's for that matter and this may not even be a possibility, but maybe life after Vic won't be as bad as some might think? Would think this guy would continue the tradition of dominating in-state recruiting.
