Yeah, made it to the final 8 in the state with middle schoolers, no biggie.

 

I dont want to take anything away from them at all. I guess what i am trying to say is that when your team makes it to the sweet 16 it take all 5 players contribuating (?) not just 2 or 3....

This game managed to make WKYT.com:

I dont think he is a future Wildcat yet. I know he has verbally commited but I need to see something in writing. I kow he is to young to sign so I will wait till that day. I was friends with his brother and have respect for him but I think the UK thing will fall off....

Just my opinion....

The kid is a 6' 8" sophomore with three more years to get stronger and develop before he hits the floor with the Wildcats. I think he'll be okay.

 

Lighten up...

I was listoning to the call in show the other night and must have heard more than a few callers complain about how today's UK players dont have enough love and respect for the uniform. You wont have that problem with DE. He will be a hard working productive Wildcat and love every min of it. Much like Farmer Feldhause Pelphrey Hanson and every other KY kid that puts on the blue and white.

Its a sad day when a high school kid (who works his tail off)has to take crap from adults who never played the first min of college basketball (and for some high school ball).

DE is under enormous pressure to perform every night he hits the floor. IF he has a bad game then he is not good enough to play at UK. IF he has 25 and 10 with 3 blocks like the other night well he is not playing any competition. Either way he cant win but despite that he works hard, has a great personality, and is the type of kid you hope your daughter brings home to meet you someday.

We should all be behind a young man like that no matter if he is a Royal, Tomcat, Lion or any other area school. High school sports are for the young and not the adults who get out and try to trash a fine young man like DE.

 

And dont try telling me that thats not what your doing ole happy dad because Im not that stupid.

I thought this thread was supposed to be about a game that was played recently.:confused:

Im sorry to get the thread off track but I felt my post was something that needed to be placed on bgp. WE in the 16th more so than any other region like to tear down the players and teams of the area just to get at other posters or adults.
