This morning, Kentucky made the hiring of Bruiser Flint official. According to a new report, an announcement about Jai Lucas isn’t be far behind.
Sources tell Pete Thamel that Lucas is finalizing his deal to join John Calipari’s staff in an off-court role. Last week, word first broke that the Texas assistant was in talks with Kentucky, bringing a 14-year connection with KSR full circle. The 31-year-old has been with the University of Texas since 2013, serving as a special assistant under Rick Barnes before being promoted to director of basketball operations under Shaka Smart in 2015.
