Low game: 33 points vs. Brookville. Crazy! I hope Cal can get it done, I am almost salivating at the chance of having a backcourt of Ulis, Booker, Newman, Kennard, & Matthews/Vaugn. I mean obviously someone would have to play out on the wing as a three considering Kentucky will fail to have a true 3 but I still like their chances to score the ball (if they can share it). Can't see Booker going after next season, so if Cal can lock up Vaughn this year and Newman and Kennard next year look out. Charles Matthews likely in there as well considering his friendship with Ulis, I just hope it doesn't get too crowded. Going to be a solid team with post guys returning like Dakari (possibly), Towns, Lyles, Lee, and Willis. That's not even mentioning any big they may get in 2015 like Skal or Bragg. Really getting excited for this 2015 team somebody needs to slow me down and tell me to enjoy this season first.

December 28, 201312 yr Author Great kid I'm gonna go watch him play in Franklin next week with his aunt and family. He is a great kid. My aunt and Luke's family are very close.Her and my uncle had Mark, Luke's dad in class at Franklin. We are going to watch him when they play in Louisville in Jan. I have been keeping up with him since he was a 8th grader.
December 28, 201312 yr Author Luke still plans on cutting his list in January. His father isn't sure of every team that will make the cut, but the Wildcats will. That's a guarantee. "No doubt," Kennard said. "There's no doubt they make it. Definitely." http://kentucky.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1590999

You can watch it here: HTC Connect | Beach Ball Classic Streaming Video Luke has 25 points at the half. Wow. That's quite an achievement. Clay County played in the Beach Ball Classic a few times IIRC. Anyway, my AP Anatomy teacher in HS was a really good player on one of those teams. He showed us his program from the Beach Ball Classic. There were something like 3-5 NBA players in there, but two of them were Jason Kidd and Rasheed Wallace. The talent at that tournament is just insane.

January 3, 201412 yr Author Two of UK’s top basketball recruits in the Class of 2015 will face each other on national television Friday night, 1-3-2014 Las Vegas power forward Stephen Zimmerman and Cleveland power forward Carlton Bragg are scheduled to play at 7 p.m. on ESPNU. The game is part of the Cancer Research Classic in Wheeling, W.Va. Zimmerman — ranked No. 3 in the junior class by Scout.com — was one of the first players from that class to receive a scholarship offer from UK. He has said in the past that he plans to visit Lexington before making a college decision. Coach John Calipari and UK assistant Orlando Antigua have made separate trips to Las Vegas in recent months to visit with Zimmerman. Bragg Bragg is not among the seven 2015 prospects with a UK scholarship offer, but Calipari and UK assistant John Robic have been to Cleveland several times in the past few weeks to see him practice and play. Scout.com ranks Bragg as the No. 9 overall prospect in the Class of 2015. He has offers from Kansas, Arizona, Louisville, Michigan State, Ohio State and many other top schools.

January 5, 201412 yr Ben Roberts @NextCats 1m To recap tonight: Luke Kennard 53 points, Trey Lyles 45 points, Tyler Ulis 30 points, Karl Towns 29 points & 21 rebounds. Wow.
January 5, 201412 yr What kind of competition has Kennard been playing against ? He's putting up crazy numbers. I'm not sure I could average 40+ against an average middle school team.
January 5, 201412 yr Author What kind of competition has Kennard been playing against ? He's putting up crazy numbers. I'm not sure I could average 40+ against an average middle school team. Played in the Beach Ball Tourney last week. I watched it online. Had like 45 that game. He is very unselfish with the ball, just not many on his team that are scorers.
