March 21, 201313 yr Kentucky commitment Randle a humble star Julius Randle was a scoring machine as a sophomore at Prestonwood Christian Academy. He was already a nationally known recruit by then, and he already had a state championship under his belt. Randle averaged 25 points per game that sophomore year, but Prestonwood failed in its repeat bid with a loss in the state title game. When new coach Chris Mayberry arrived at the beginning of Randle’s junior season, he asked the star player to tone down the scoring. Mayberry wanted Randle to excel in other areas and get his teammates more involved. “He did everything I asked of him,” Mayberry said. “It was always for the good of the team.” Randle averaged 21 points per game as a junior, and Prestonwood won another state championship. That’s Mayberry’s story for critics who are afraid the Wildcats’ 2013-14 lineup will have too much star power and only one basketball. “He’s going to do whatever he needs to do,” Mayberry said. “Whatever the coaches want him to do, he’s going to do it and he’s going to fit in great. He’s going to be a pleasure for Coach Calipari to coach.” Read more here: Kentucky commitment Randle a humble star | Basketball recruiting | Kentucky.com
March 21, 201313 yr Here is my favorite prediction in that thread... I'll say at least Elite Eight to be safe but I really feel Final Four. Cal has proven that he can take a team deep into March with the talent he is pulling in. How many other coaches can win a title, replace all 5 starters and your 6th man and still be in the hunt for the title and preseason top 5 team? The game has changed and Cal has mastered it. At least Elite Eight without Bennett. With Bennett.......... What a UK homer you are ..... PP92 :lol2: :banana: Just trying to keep the peace. Can you imagine if I had said what I really feel....(that UK would suck this year and that they'd lose to Robert Morris in the first round of the the NIT) then people would have said I have no credibility and that my hate blinds me. :idunno: Just kidding. :smug: Cal has sucked me in too. What can I say? He's good. He's real good. This season was shocking and uncalled for IMO. Complete failure from top to bottom. Cal says it will never happen again. We'll see. I'll make that exact same prediction for next year's team. At least the Elite 8. If not.....then there's a problem somewhere.
