      Default Landon Slone

      I did not watch Landon Slone play in high school but I hear he was a great scorer. Can he make an impact at UK?

      He can shoot that ball. The kid could probably make some contribution as a role player. With no scholarship there should be no pressure.

      He can shoot it but I don't see him making much of a contribution. I hope I am wrong but don't see it happening.

      He should get some PT as a Jr and a Sr. He will end up being a Ravi Moss type, role player.

      In order to understand my train of thought you have to put yourself in my position. You can't expect me to think like you because my life is not like yours.

      Will Slone end up being used like former Paintsville great that played for the Cats, Todd Tackett????

      I was thinking more of a Cameron Mills, but any contribution would be great from a walk on.

      I think the Tackett analogy is more accurate than the Moss one. I saw all three play in high school, I was not overly impressed with Slone. He was a good high school player, but I don't see his game translating well to major D1 basketball. He is a walk-on, so there is really no risk.......

      I don't see him contributing much this year but I do think by the time he is a junior he will be a role player.

      You know Gillespie says that he plays the players that work the hardest in practice as example in Coury. You just never know when his time comes he just has to be ready.
