Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
Congrats on the recruit. Hope the qualification isn't as difficult as I've seen reported.
Amused by the IU fans who are offended by the shameful affront to the fine university experience of the One and Done's at Kentucky. It's shameful alright, except when it was Eric Gordon, or when it will be Hanner Perea, or when it will be Gary Harris who IU went after hard.

Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
I haven't heard anything about a difficult qualification. He wouldn't have reclassified otherwise. You can always count on Thameltoe trying to be a wet blanket, however. Especially when it doesn't involve Syraccused.

Flipped by it as they were showing some Noel highlights.

Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
I'm glad they landed Nerlens, if for no other reason than we'll need something odd to love about a player now that Davis' unibrow will be gone.
Can't wait to see some fun shirts featuring the hair:

Noel's wingspan = 7'4" per draft express (same as Davis FWIW)

Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
Looking at who we have and who may commit, still seems to lack a second point guard in case Harrow gets in foul trouble or whenever he needs a break. Is this correct or am I forgetting someone ?
Makes me wonder if Cal thinks/knows one of either Lamb or Teague is returning....(last year Lamb ran the point when Teague on bench) |

Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
Kentucky has only one shooter-- if you assume all five starters are indeed gone.
And, while he may be among the best shooters in America, Wiltjer can't do it alone. Look for shooters to sign or stay, one of the two.

Re: University of Kentucky Men's Basketball -- 7th Edition
I keep hoping Lamb gets a 2nd round projection and stays... hoping in vain, I'm guessing.
Goodwin and Poythress are both underrated shooters, esp. Poythress, IMO. I think Poythress is better than Terrence Jones right now. I've heard Harrow's shooting is much improved. |
