No, like major news outlets and reporters in Fayetteville. No one covering Kentucky has confirmed he is for sure leaving, but it definitely seems like a real possibility.

Live feed. 9;30 PM Sunday night...

John Calipari To Arkansas?!?! https://t.co/bgpxT7RYim

Multiple sources are telling me Arkansas has zeroed in on John Calipari. Barring any last minute issues, I expect him to be the Razorbacks new head coach. pic.twitter.com/L9BSQHFzqW

Holy **** it's not a joke.

It's certainly picking up steam on Twitter, but nothing truly confirmed at this point. Would be an all time get outta dodge move by Cal

If this happens I can't wait to see who Kentucky goes after.

REPORT: Arkansas is in talks with Kentucky's John Calipari to become its next head coach, per @BobHoltADG

This guy has covered Arkansas since 1981

John Calipari and Arkansas have entered into serious talks about its head coaching position, sources told CBS Sports, and Kentucky has been notified on the talks. Calipari’s contract terms mandate he must inform Kentucky if he engages with another school about a job interview.

Very few sources in college hoops more trusted than Norlander.

From Matt Norlander (CBS Sports) on Twitter:

John Calipari and Arkansas have entered into serious talks about its head coaching position, sources told CBS Sports, and Kentucky has been notified on the talks. Calipari's contract terms mandate he must inform Kentucky if he engages with another school about a job interview.

The Tyson family (biggest Arkansas donor) is prepared to make a major commitment to bring Cal to Arkansas, sources said.

Calipari is very close with the Tyson family and has been for years.

The story is gaining volume because major boosters are optimistic this can happen.

Those psychos probably think they can get Dan Hurley.

Nate Oats has to get an interview right ?

Bruce Pearl, Rick Barnes, they can pull pretty much any coach with the history and what they will pay...

If Calipari to Arkansas happens, I can only assume he has suffered some sort of brain injury in the last few days. Just a stunning turn of events.

A smart guy told me that apparently Kentucky has had enough of Cal and are ready for a change.

If John Calipari leaves Kentucky, one name that would be ideal for UK is Alabama’s Nate Oats.

Except for one issue.

Oats has an $18 million buyout.

From the live stream I posted above...

Arkansas offer...

7.5 Million per year

6 Million in NIL

10 Mil with incentives


Another source said that Calipari is in Arkansas currently...


(High end Arkansas source with plane) just said the deal is DONE, 7.5-8 MM per year

I think Cal's on the back end of his career, but maybe he can revive a little something in Fayetteville. I'm not that worried but I do expect him to keep landing some talent.

Cal will always land talent, but would be very interesting to see if he just runs things the same way or if he actually has learned from his failures the last several years.

From Pete Thamel:

Sources: John Calipari is finalizing a five-year deal to become the next coach at Arkansas. The deal is expected to be completed in the next 24 hours.

Uh-huh.

I stand corrected, it appears. Calipari must really hate it at Kentucky.

Holy ****

This is insane.

Wow. Ball sack sports with a hell of a scoop

Why do you people post this crap?

Do you really think that a class of '19 person would break this story?

Or do you just repost anything you find?

Let me get this straight…

Holy *****

Andy Enfield leaves USC for freaking SMU. Cuz it looks more appealing

Musselman leaves Arkansas for USC cuz there was a three way love triangle among dudes and his team fell apart. So hey, why not.

Now John Calipari is leaving Kentucky for Arkansas?!?!

I mean why not?

I'll go ahead and call Billy Donovan to Kentucky.
