Not a good game by Caleb Swanigan:

 

Following his mediocre performance in today’s game at the Bluegrass Showdown, Caleb Swanigan told Ben Roberts Cal has said he doesn’t plan to platoon again after this season. Apparently Swanigan got a little selfish in the second half of his game when his team trailed, something he said won’t fly if he plays for UK in college.

“What I did in the 2nd half wouldn’t work at Kentucky,” he told Roberts. “Coach Cal would chew me out. They play as a team and they play together.”

Swanigan finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds in the double-digit loss, but committed eight turnovers and did not make a bucket in the second half.

He will visit UK during the Cats’ practice tomorrow before playing again at Dunbar tomorrow night.

 

On the other hand Thon Maker didn't disappoint. Also impressed with Thon's little brother 6'10 M . Maker.

 

 

 

 

The Bluegrass Showcase is taking place at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Lexington this week, and two key UK targets are participating. Thon Maker (247sports’ #3 recruit in the class of 2016) put on an impressive performance – finishing with 24 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 blocks. Caleb Swanigan (ranked 18^th in the class of 2015 by 247sports) didn’t have the best game; he tallied 14 points and 12 rebounds, but also shot 3-for-11 from the floor and committed 8 turnovers. After the game, Caleb spoke about how he needs to play better if he decides to come to Kentucky:

“What I did in the second half wouldn’t work at Kentucky. Coach Cal would chew me out. They play as a team and they play together.”

So glad he came back yesterday and had a good game.

 

 

The Joe B. and Denny Bluegrass Showcase has been underway this weekend and its brought some of the best players in the country to Lexington. As such a bunch of those best players happen to be Kentucky targets and several of them had career games this weekend. Last night it was Caleb Swanigan who showed out. Swanigan finished with a career high 39 points, 21 rebounds, and 6 assists in an 83-67 win. The game was a nice bounce back after struggling on Friday with his shot-selection. Perhaps it had something to do with his team watching the Cats practice earlier in the day.
