The rumors continue to swirl about Kentucky basketball coach Billy Gillispie’s future in Lexington.

Friday morning, the Lexington Herald Banner reported one of Gillispie’s assistant coaches was seen cleaning out his office on Thursday. He wouldn’t say why.

The Herald also reported a press confrence was expected Friday concerning Gillispie’s future.

So, what does all this mean for Oklahoma State fans? Nothing yet, but it wouldn’t hurt to brace yourself.

Before Gillispie was hired two years ago, Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart got shot down several times when he contacted coaches about the job. Florida’s Billy Donovan? Nope. Villanova’s Jay Wright? Nope. Texas’ Rick Barnes? Nope.
