Return of the Roman Empire?

2 years ago, I was an advocate of this man John Calapari to come of the bluegrass.  At the time, he had yet to make his run to the championship game and cement his reputation as one of the best coaches out there.  Also there are rumors of possible NCAA rule-breaking that always seem to follow Cal.  It seems the tide may have turned.  Fresh off the firing of a coach hired only 2 years ago, it seems the administration is feeling the heat to make a big splash this time, and John Calapari is now the target.

Here is what is rumored (let me say that I have no direct sources on any of this info)

• Like I stated, the UK administration considered Cal too much of a risk 2 years ago and maybe even early on in this search process.
• Their stance on Cal has in the VERY least softened and they are now considering Cal as a candidate for the job
• Rumors are rampant that Cal reached out to UK to plead his case to take the job, and it appears now a conversation between Cal and the administration HAS occurred.
• Gotta love this: a facebook group has popped up to bring John Calipari  to UK.  Supposedly John's 2 daughters, Jodie Meeks, Patrick Patterson, Perry Stevenson, Ramon Harris, and DeMarcus Cousins (top 5 2009 recruit, committed to Memphis)

Will all of this come to fruition?  Remains to be seen, but there is quite a bit of smoke.  Maybe a little fire?
