Make sure you roll all the way down to stay up to date on what happened.
KSR’s own Matt Jones posted a series of tweets Wednesday afternoon suggesting that changes may be underway, and things are getting even more interesting after social media remarks revealed that two of Kentucky’s assistant coaches, Joel Justus and Tony Barbee, have switched has. their profiles on Twitter. The Athletics’s Kyle Tucker also lit the fire slightly, adding that changes in coaching are “definitely” coming.

Changes are coming …

There are definitely several important moves for the Kentucky basketball coaching staff. Amidst all the recruits, transfers and staff upsets, this spring boils down to a major recharge for John Calipari.

Digging deeper, it looks like Coach Justus recently changed his profile photo of a photo of himself wandering around the sidelines as a Kentucky coach to a photo of him and his girlfriend.
As for Coach Barbee: if you use Twitter on mobile devices and refresh your page, it looks like he (or whoever manages these accounts) has removed the UK logo that was previously his Twitter background and now leaves it blank.
We will keep you informed as information is released. Let the speculation begin …
[UPDATE] 19:08: Orlando Antigua back to Lexington?
