One of the best things that might have happened for Preston this year was the first game against Mason County. That game was played on a Saturday afternoon prior to the Kentucky-Florida game. Florida had two assistant coaches at the game primarily to watch Darius Miller. They were both very impressed with Knowles (remember he had 17 points in the 2nd quarter) and told a well respected former college coach that he could have helped Florida this year (as if they really needed a lot of help). I've always believed that coaches have a herd mentality and, after that game, word really started to spread about Preston.

Yes talked to that former coach and he told us the same thing. :thumb:

A surprise that he led his team to the Sweet 16? No - we've seen him in the 10th for years.

 

A surprise that he got a scholly to Louisville? Maybe, but only slightly. He had D-1 coaches looking at him for much of the year.
