The general consensus here is that he's sort of mailing it in. The knock on him at Kentucky was that he was a lazy recruiter. A lot of fans are starting to believe that to be true and the development of his key recruits is being brought int to question as well.

In his defense he's had two blue chip recruits transfer (one never played a game) for various reasons but he's frequently in on kids way too late in the game and has wiffed on a lot of his guard prospects. I just don't see him leaving, especially when his agent was in Minneapolis last week talking about an extension to the 3 years left that Smith currently has. But if he really wants to leave I won't cry over it. You don't make 1.8mil per and come up empty handed every year in the post season.
