Was going to include that.

This article is REALLY interesting:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...8V0F_blog.html

The short version: Cal has offered to former UK players and even Derrick Rose to come to Kentucky to use the facilities. If any of the players decide to re-enroll at UK, they could take the court against the Cats in practice.

Imagine the impact on the court and with recruiting. This is a major selling point for the Cats.

Not a surprise, Knight staying in the draft.

Can't fault his decision at all. Thanks for getting us back to the FF, BK.

That shot to beat OSU will live on forever in UK lore...

Don't forget the Princeton shot as well. If hadn't have hit that one they may not have made it to the Ohio State game.

Only thing I wish was that Knight would have been fouled on the final possession against UConn. Four point play to end regulation and who knows what happens in overtime.

Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition

As its often stated, the draft is so often predicated on potential. I think Jones has the most potential of any of our early entries this year, so there could be some team who said they'd take him in the top 15, thats all it takes, one.

Is it Marc Maggard by chance? I don't have TBK anymore but i'd be shocked if he announced it by Twitter that he was leaving. Good way to alienate fans IMO.

First one was based upon MM. He was (and still is) adamant TJ will be choosing to return. My second post was based upon a guy who lives with some athletes, and is almost always nails saying that TJ is gone.

At this point I'm torn as to what I think will happen, as much as TJ probably is/was. Like you, I can't see him choosing to announce that he's leaving via Twitter.

Go with MM. He's been accurate 95% of the time. I used to subscribe to the premium section to TBK and the only thing I ever remember him being wrong about was Will Barton. He said TJ was coming to Kentucky last year when everybody had him pegged for Washington.

He also was adamant Teague was choosing UK.
