NEERFAN Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The Ohmer to WKU thread had me reminiscing about other Sweet 16 legends of the past. What other players can you think of that left Freedom Hall/Rupp with much larger offers? Troy McKinley- His '81 performance landed him in Lexington. Anyone know where he was leaning prior? Paul Andrews- His Shot Heard Around the Bluegrass in '82. Was he WKU before the UK offer? Richie Farmer- Who was on Richie? Antwain Barbour- 72 points in two games on Saturday in '00, Wow! Where was he heading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gchs_uk9 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Richie Farmer- Who was on Richie? Someone can help me, but I'm thinking Richie was headed to LSU before his Kentucky offer came. However, I think Kentucky may have offered before his final appearance in the Sweet 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think Kentucky may have offered before his final appearance in the Sweet 16. I'm pretty sure it was an SEC school. I thought Tennessee but that's just a guess.

silo11 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hawkins secured his UK offer as I remember Cal was there to watch him first hand as well as watch Bolden. He almost got Jordan Majors to walk on at UK that year as well because of his S16 performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurplePride92 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Anthony Hickey's performance got him to LSU. Jarrod Polson's performance got him from his Liberty commitment to walking on at UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistolPete4 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Adam Wing (Rowan County) committed to Oklahoma State and then de-committed and played 4 years at Evansville. He had 4 spectacular games in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hawkins secured his UK offer as I remember Cal was there to watch him first hand as well as watch Bolden. Hawkins had offers from WKU and Morehead prior to the tourney. As you stated UK called after the tourney as well as other SEC schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Dickie Beal decommitted from Depaul after Joe B. Hall showed interest after the 1980 state tournament. Joe B was on Dicky way before the state tourney. I saw Joe B at games in NKY watching Dicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
