Doing some digging. Just got this from someone in the industry

“All I've heard is that he actually did a lot of the scouts for Kentucky when Cal was there.

When things started going sideways for UK under Cal, Riley Welch was kind of pointed to as the only "new age" guy on the staff.

Think he does a lot of analytics etc”

As soon as I saw his name, that's what I assumed. Hopefully, he works out really well. Thanks for all the updates, Pete. Welcome to the U, Riley. Hit the ground running. P
