April 10, 200719 yr I like the following quotes from Vilarino's dad...per TCP. "When I found out coach G was being considered for the job, I was incredibly excited because I started thinking about the opportunity that my son may have to still play for him and be at a place like Kentucky, the mecca of basketball," "I'm glad we did because it's such an honor for my son to get this opportunity. You're talking about Kentucky. It doesn't get any better than that. I know this is going to push him to work even harder to be the kind of player he wants to be." "There's a lot of blue-chip guys in this area and Texas in general who would love an opportunity to play for coach G, and now that he's at Kentucky, look out," Vilarino said. "When you talk about Kentucky, you're talking about one of the most storied programs out there. There's only four or five that's even in the same category. Kentucky recruits itself, and now that coach G is there, that's scary."

April 10, 200719 yr It's great to get in on a kid early, but with what has happened in the past you have to be skeptical b/c of guys like Adam Williams. It is different that this kid is ranked so high. Hopefully its a great pick up.
April 10, 200719 yr Sounds great...but way too early to get too darned excited. I would say most are excited not so much by the player (who seems to be a good one), but rather by apparent new emphasis on recruiting, which has been somewhat lacking the last few years.
April 10, 200719 yr I like what I see so far. Simple as that. He's excited and working hard as his job. I dont know if he can coach yet or not,but from past teams , Coach G sure can recruit. If a coach has the players then coaching becomes a lot easier.:thumb:
April 10, 200719 yr 6'0" 150 I hope he is not done growing yet. Bulk him up. He is in the Class of 2009, how old would that make him ? 16 or 17 ? He might have a growth spurt left in him. That would be real nice.
April 10, 200719 yr He is in the Class of 2009, how old would that make him ? 16 or 17 ? He might have a growth spurt left in him. That would be real nice. He's finishing up his sophmore year. Makes him probably 15 or 16. He could definately get bigger, but he's already bigger than Jai Lucas.
April 10, 200719 yr Billy G is definitely going to work I would agree if you mean work hard. But if you mean "work out as UK's coach" that is far down the road for us to be able to say that.
