January 17, 201412 yr SN: When people ask you about John Calipari, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? TOWNS: Loud. I mean, like he told me my first day with the Dominican team, ‘I’m not screaming at you because I’m mad, I’m screaming at you because I’m Italian.’ Coach Cal is such a great coach and such a great guy and a great human being. I’m just blessed I was given the chance to be his little apprentice and learn under him for these years.

January 28, 201412 yr Dante Exum has declared for the draft, stating his intentions today. Thought he would.
January 30, 201412 yr All four recruits announced as McD's All-Americans. So glad Ulis got the nod, I was afraid they'd pass him up but no way you can look past that monster season in a super tough Chi town area schedule.

January 30, 201412 yr Author A "source" of someone on Twitter FWIW said that Cal is telling the NBA that as of today the Harrisons will return BUT it could change.
January 31, 201412 yr A "source" of someone on Twitter FWIW said that Cal is telling the NBA that as of today the Harrisons will return BUT it could change. Would love to see it. I think another year would do them both some good and with the talent/depth coming in I think it would be the perfect scenario for the team. Ulis/Booker isn't thrown into the fire to have typical frosh growing pains and criticisms and they can just develop at their own pace. Neither are expected to be one and done so we may finally have some guys who can develop without pressure and scrutiny. Harrison's both have a lot to work on to be ready for the league, I think their reputation in high school allowed them to get by on their own work and merit without being what you would call "coached hard or pushed". I know they trained at Lucas' place but their dad was also their AAU coach. I'm assuming there are a lot of nuances they never had to worry about picking up until now and it's showing. Another year in a structured college game would do them both some good in learning how to overcome certain deficiencies, deficiencies that are just getting exposed at the college level (as they were use to bullying smaller, weaker guards in high school).

March 26, 201412 yr Cats eyeing UNLV senior transfer Dejean-Jones Monday, UNLV announced junior guard Bryce Dejean-Jones wouldn't return for his senior season. On Tuesday, UK assistant Orlando Antigua inquired about the 6-foot-5, 210-pound guard. If UK loses those three guards, the Cats would have a thin backcourt next season, justing bringing in guards Tyler Ulis and Devin Booker. But if the twins return, Kentucky might not be the place for Dejean-Jones. Dejean-Jones averaged 13.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and three assists per game for UNLV this season. Proving himself on the court has never been an issue, but with his next college being his third, off the court issues have followed. He originally enrolled at Southern California in 2010 and left midseason. Reports of altercations with teammates and administrators surfaced and Dejean-Jones ended up at UNLV. But Udo-Ema said he doesn't think the issues should keep teams away. And with UK, UCLA, Florida State, Marquette and Cincinnati among the teams inquiring, it hasn't. "He's a great kid," Udo-Ema said. "He's a very competitive spirit. Very competitive. That's what drives him. That's what makes him a guy that has a chance to play in the NBA. "…Some guys don't know how to reel him in. I never had any issues with the guy, never." Udo-Ema coached former Cat Daniel Orton, so he compared Dejean-Jones' competitive spirit to Orton's former teammate DeMarcus Cousins.
