February 19, 200719 yr Or you jump on someone early and get Adam Williams or the 7 footer who isn't playing his senior year in high school. It's way to early to offer this guy. Isn't playing his senior year, or sitting the last 4 games?
February 19, 200719 yr Isn't playing his senior year, or sitting the last 4 games? Sorry you are correct, he was just recently kicked off the team.
February 19, 200719 yr Tubby does what you people want and you still aren't happy. You have no idea how good this kid is going to be. Have you ever seen him play? Give me a break man. :thumb: Excatly HT. It is like I have said before - the bashing/complaining would/will go on no matter what Tubby does or doesn't do. The man could go undefeated the rest of the way out, win a national title (not gonna happen this season) and I can promise you that some would still be bashing, the others would be breaking ankles and arms jumping back on the bandwagon.
February 19, 200719 yr This thought process is what has killed UK in recruiting. When a player is trending way up as a Junior you want to get him in the fold ASAP. When you wait around thinking there will be better options at the last minute you get Sheray Thomas and Bobby Perry... :thumb:
February 19, 200719 yr Just a guess, but he'll come to KY and underachieve, transfer, or be as good as a freshman as he's ever going to get. Kind of like Bogans, Prince, Fitch, Daniels, Estill....All those guys peaked there freshman year:rolleyes:

February 19, 200719 yr Sorry you are correct, he was just recently kicked off the team. He didn't get kicked off the team...
February 19, 200719 yr 22 pounds??? He needs to hit the gym. He's around 225. 6'7" is undersized to play the 4. If you're very talented then so be it. Rivals and other places don't have him ranked. Not top 150, not top 100, not top anything. Before this year he wasn't even being considered mid-major and now KY signs him. With OTS's RECRUITING HISTORY.............. How good can he be? Wasn't Chris Lofton a 2 star recruit by Rivals and a 3 star recruit by Scout coming out of HS with mainly Mid Majors recruiting him?? Just curious... Oh, but, he improved and only Ky kids that UK misses on do that...
February 19, 200719 yr Tubby as his news conference today: (this year's team) is "so far ahead of last year, it's a joke." Asked to explain, the UK coach mentioned passing, rebounding and that this year's team is "a little more athletic."
February 19, 200719 yr Just read some information on him and he's considered the #1 forward in the state of Michigan in the 08' class. Plays on Joshua Southern's HS team and he is considered their best player. Averaging somewhere along the lines of 25 and 13 a game. Kansas, Michigan, Michigan State, and Xavier have all showed interest. Someone over at Catspause.com likened him to Marshall Moses only without the academic question marks. Even the most furious Tubby bashers over there seem to be pretty happy with this signing. Remember people he is only a junior in High School. His stock will climb, and he will be most likely be a 4 star player after his senior year. Everyone on here as been complaining about UK not getting early commits, well they've got one now, and from everything I've read, it seems like it may be a good one.

I've been very critical of him not working farther ahead. I like the move...

February 19, 200719 yr Kind of like Bogans, Prince, Fitch, Daniels, Estill....All those guys peaked there freshman year:rolleyes: No but other than Daniels the others were very good as freshman. When Daniels peeked it was because he was playing within 6 feet of the basket almost all the time. Not to mention Chuck Hayes was 12 feet from the basket complimenting him. Bogans, Prince, and Fitch were players as freshman. Sure they got better, but they got older and stronger. Either way that's not many guys over Tubby's tenure at UK.
February 20, 200719 yr Green seems to be a good signee. A class with say Frease, Green, Darius Miller, and a top notch guard would be a great class!
February 20, 200719 yr Sorry you are correct, he was just recently kicked off the team. Still on the team, just not playing.
