June 15, 200719 yr He attended the UK Elite camp. He's being pursued much harder by BCG than OTS did. If you're 98NCC and of his ilk, do you count this guy as signed, sealed, and delivered to Bloomington? I'm not worried.
June 15, 200719 yr Sounds like the only reason Mackey verbaled so early is because Tubby wasn't showing him any interest. Probably had a 2 star recruit in Iceland he was busy looking at.
June 15, 200719 yr I say he signs the LOI with IU. I'm not sure why UK would go after him. He's a very good player, but he plays the same position as Meeks and Legion. I just don't see the need for him at this point.
June 15, 200719 yr This is the only quote I could find, but it's why I'm not worried. Mackey and five Scott County teammates will also compete soon in a team camp that is part of the University of Kentucky series of camps in Lexington. Johnson was pretty clear that Indiana fans should have nothing to fear about that news. "That is just something for them to play against good competition from around the country," said Johnson. "He is definitely solid with his (Indiana) commitment." Johnson added that the coaching change in Lexington has not caused the Mackey camp to think twice about last fall's decision to become a Hoosier. "They didn't make any coaching change at Indiana," said Johnson, "so there is no change in the commitment."
June 15, 200719 yr ^I never said he wasn't good enough, in fact I said he is "very good". Point is, Mackey fills the same role as Porter, Meeks, Legion, and possibly Jasper. UK needs size and a pure point guard for 08..... Good point Nature Boy... I feel the same way. Mackey at times was brilliant but is too skinny and UK needs a strong point guard who deals and has a good handle. Mackey is a scorer and has Tayshaun Prince attributes.
June 15, 200719 yr Kentucky has 3 scholarships right now for 08. Are we sure about this? We lost Morris, Woo, Perry, Thomas. We got Stewart, Williams, Patterson, Legion. Anything beyond two next year requires some rearranging unless I'm missing something. Those options get smaller if BCG gets another scholly open this year.

Scholarship players right now for 08-09 are: Meeks Jasper Porter Stevenson Carter Williams Harris Patterson Legion Stewart We did not have all 13 spots filled the previous year. This leaves 3 spots remaining.

June 15, 200719 yr The word here in Scott Co is Bud doesn't have the ACT scores right now to attend IU or anywhere for that matter.
