Isn't this a thread about Kentucky prep basketball players that went straight to the pros?

I'm not sure if there are any, but these guys were close. Tony Key, Brandon Bender, Carlos Hurrtt, Dontae Smith. Not sure where they ended up, but none were in college for more than a minute. Smith went JUCO to NBA route.

Kemp went to JUCO.
