It would appear the Kentucky is about to make a major change to John Calipari’s staff by bringing back a fan-favorite assistant: Orlando Antigua.
According to KSR’s Matt Jones, Kentucky is poised to bring back Antigua barring any setbacks. Jones adds another assistant coaching hire is close to being made but isn’t finalized yet.
Antigua left Kentucky for the head coaching job at South Florida back in 2014. He ran into some trouble with the NCAA and was fired in 2017. Soon after his dismissal from Tampa, he joined Brad Underwood’s staff at Illinois and helped usher in a bit of a rebirth for the Fighting Illini. With Antigua’s help, Underwood was able to secure players such as Kofi Cockburn and Ayo Dosunmu while earning a No. 1 seed in the 2021 NCAA Tournament.

I think Antigua was instrumental in recruiting our string of amazing point guards, just as Payne was the guy who landed the best of our big men.
I would welcome Antigua back in a heartbeat.

Skyy Clark said it was Justus leaving.... some are saying he may leave uk because Justus was the one that recruited him the most.

That would definitely be bad news if Clark doesn't come to UK.
