Calipari to Kentucky

Not much to say here, other than it generally sucks to be a college basketball fan. If you're a fan of 95% of the schools, any success your team has will be followed by the coach who built that success leaving for one of the other 5% of schools, also known as the traditional powers. If you're a fan of one of the traditional powers, it's also depressing because the only acceptable season is one that results in a championship and that happens once a decade or so even in the best programs.
Cal to Kentucky is part of life in college basketball. He'll probably do fine there, because he's one of the best recruiters around. No one can blame him for going after more money and probably a better chance to win championships than he had in Memphis. The pressure will be ramped up, but he seems like the type who will thrive on it.
As far as the prospects involved, I suspect this changes the status of Tyreke Evans entrance into the 2009 NBA draft from probable to certain. I have little idea what affect it will have on Pat Patterson or Jodie Meeks. I doubt Patterson will be affected much, as he's a talented player who would do well in any system. Meeks seems like more of a beneficiary of a system to me and he may never find his draft stock higher than it is now.
