Good news for sure.
John Calipari says he's not interested in the New Orleans Pelicans' coaching job and is happy at Kentucky.
The Pelicans fired Monty Williams a week ago and the team's NBA roster features former Kentucky star Anthony Davis and Tyreke Evans, who played for Calipari at Memphis.
Calipari said in a statement issued Tuesday by the school that, "Even though Anthony and Tyreke are in New Orleans, I have no interest in coaching the Pelicans or any other coaching position."
A person close to the situation said last week that Calipari and Kentucky are negotiating a one-year contract extension through 2022 that would pay him $54 million over seven years. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no details of the talks have been publicly released.

This is a good sign and should help our recruiting by letting recruits know Cal is here to stay. It might have hurt recruiting these past few weeks but we will be signing the better players in the future.

If we have 7 more years with Cal as our coach we will have 7 more years of winning and hopefully a few more National Championships.
