I live near Champaign Illinois and this morning was listening to a local sport talk show.

The reporter being interviewed is a well known sports figure in this area and generally known for getting his information right.

According to him, Antiquia to UK is far from a done deal. He is reporting Illinois is making an offer of 1 1/4 million to stay at Illinois. He says that would make him the highest paid assistant in college basketball. Orlando said he will make a final decision this weekend.

Sorry, I don’t have a link.

I cannot imagine any university paying an assistant coach $1.5M. That just doesn't sound plausible.

But, if so, good for Antigua!

Illinois knows he's a game changer when it comes to recruiting.

Tip, 1 1/4. Still a Lot of money! I have no idea if it’s accurate but the reporter generally seems to be a straight shooter.

Well, we're losing Justice and Barbee, so just hire Antigua at both of their salaries. Two assistants should be enough.

This link says if UK will match the “substantial offer” made by Illinois, he will accept the UK offer. It also says it will make him the highest paid assistant in college basketball.

Local sport talk show says it all - slanted toward ILL but in fact IF ky wants (or should say Cal) him back it is a done deal!
