Report: Baylor's Scott Drew Seen as Kentucky AD's Top Choice to Replace John Calipari

Baylor's Scott Drew is reportedly seen as Kentucky's top choice to replace John Calipari, who shocked the basketball world Sunday night to leave for Arkansas.

Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Drew are on "friendly" terms, and many have believe Barnhart would push hard to have Drew come to Lexington, per The Athletic. It's unclear if Drew has any interest in the vacancy.

Baylor and Drew recently agreed to a new contract, which could complicate matters even if he's interested.
