I am going to going to say that Roy Williams is staying put at Kansas. I do not believe that Roy Williams is leaving Kansas.

I'll go on out on a limb and say it's a done deal. No deal has been signed but I feel sure a committment has been made. As Chuck pointed out, he hasn't said that he would not take the UNC job if offered. He simply keeps dodging the questions.

There were two reasons he stayed at Kansas in 2000. #1, Bob Fredericks, the former Kansas AD and longtime friend who talked Roy into staying three years ago, is gone and Roy is not at all happy with the present AD. #2, in 2000, Collison and Hinrich had just finished their freshman year. He had a committment to those two kids.

With all that, it's been widely rumored that Williams has admitted to Dean Smith that he made a mistake in not taking the job 3 years ago.

He won't make that same mistake again.
