Is University of Kentucky's Dynasty OVER?

The only hope for Lexington and the 2008 basketball season was on the shoulders of two high school stars. Patrick Patterson and Jay Lucas were suppose to be a lock to join the UK basketball program. Now it has been confirmed Jay Lucas is not heading to Kentucky and sources close to Patterson say that he will choose against Kentucky. What is a school to do? Wasn't Tubby Smith fired (not technically, but he was basically fired) for not being able to recruit. I don't see Gillespie bringing in any top stars this year. This doesn't end with players either, earlier in the year Kentucky had numerous coaches turn down the position at the once famed powerhouse of college basketball. Is the new basketball team in Kentucky the Cardinals who already dominate the football scene in the state. Please tell me your opinion on this matter.
