Baylor men’s basketball head coach Scott Drew will stay with the Bears and not take the Kentucky job, according to multiple reports on Thursday.

Drew became the Wildcats’ top target on Tuesday after former head coach John Calipari’s departure, and there were notions that Drew was seriously considering taking his leadership to Lexington, K.Y.

But the 53-year-old head coach is reportedly sticking around, as KWTX confirmed the news.

We’ve heard from the man himself. Scott Drew is staying at Baylor.
