Getslow Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Except for Archie, we think a lot alike. A terrifying reality that Jumper_Dad now must face. I'm sorry JD... I'm so sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurplePride92 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 No one can question Saul's consistent effort. At the same time, no one can question that the only reason he started as UK's point guard is because his Dad was the coach. And because there wasn't another option.

Randy Parker Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 And because there wasn't another option. There wasn't a better option on the roster, but Tubby is the one who constructed the rosters. If Saul's last name is Williams or Johnson, he never wears a UK uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Saul's last name is Williams or Johnson, he never wears a UK uniform. Sean Sutton was the same, by the way, except he was less deserving to be a UK player than Saul was. That's why Sean is on my first team and Saul the 6th man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Man I completely forgot Sean Sutton! He has a spot on my team too...I didn't like him at Henry Clay either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrillVille Cardinal51 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Cousins. Some of the stories that I've heard about him off the court are ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachBuckett Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Good Thread I would like to know people choose certain players. Richie Farmer - Was not very good player - yes he could shoot but should have never got an offer. Jared Prickett - over rated as a player Patrick Sparks - See Richie Sean Sutton - was teririble only played because of dad Saul Smith - see Sean Sutton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Prickett - over rated as a player Patrick Sparks - See Richie Sean Sutton - was teririble only played because of dad Saul Smith - see Sean Sutton I forget, wasn't Ritchie a Sutton recruit that Pitino inherited? Back then, I think with Ritchie being Mr. Kentucky Basketball (a sad fact for our state), there would have been a ton of pressure to offer a scholarship to him to anyone who was coach of UK. Today that same pressure doesn't seem near as strong. I think people have finally accepted that just because someone was considered the best HS player in the state means they will always be a great college player. Sometimes they are but it cannot be simply assumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Yes Eddie was drunk and offered him.... LOL Like I said, I cannot beat up on Sutton too much. It seems like back then (much moreso than today) there was an expectation to offer players like Richie or else the fan base would get all bent out of shame and coaches like Sutton and Hall probably didn't have the cajones to go against the fan base like Pitino did (Cal probably also).

Cats3x Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Patrick Sparks & Daniel Orton were two of my least favorites. Obviously Michael Porter should be on anyone's list. Richie has to be on there. Travis Ford is on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
