GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Before Kentucky hired Billy Gillispie as its new men's basketball coach, the school reportedly told Texas coach Rick Barnes that he was their top choice. So why did Barnes turn Kentucky down? Perhaps he's just happy at Texas, or perhaps he thinks the expectations at Kentucky are too high. But another intriguing possibility is that he decided to stay at Texas because he thinks his superstar, Kevin Durant, is coming back for his sophomore season.
The return of Durant would make Texas one of the favorites -- if not the favorite -- to win the 2008 national championship. But would Durant really turn down the NBA millions?
It seems unlikely, but Barnes talked to Durant before he said "no thanks" to Kentucky. And the Austin-American Statesman reports,
the Longhorns keep Barnes, who has a decent chance of getting Kevin Durant back. Barnes still puts the chances of him staying at 50-50. Expect a decision perhaps as early as next week after he visits with his family during the Wooden Award weekend in Los Angeles this weekend.
I still think Durant will go to the NBA. But this has been a week of good news for Texas fans. Maybe next week will give them some even better news.
