Scott Drew will stay at Baylor, turning down interest from Kentucky after John Calipari left to take the head coaching job at Arkansas, sources told FOX Sports' John Fanta.
Scott Drew is staying at Baylor, and the Kentucky search rolls on. The 53-year-old Drew has made the decision to return to Waco for a 22nd season and will continue to call Baylor home, sources told FOX Sports Thursday morning. With three children in high school and college, Drew and his family reached the choice to pass on Lexington and a blue-blood program to stay on with the Bears. With that, Kentucky's search continues.
Drew's choice to stay at Baylor comes just three weeks after he took himself out of the running for the Louisville job despite a lucrative offer of over $8 million per year from the Cardinals, according to sources. 'I am locked in on Baylor University,' Drew said at the time in an interview with Baylor flagship radio station 1660. 'Baylor is my home and my family's home.
