January 3, 200818 yr per Rivals. 5 Star Patterson Crawford 4 Star Jasper Meeks Stevenson 3 Star Bradley Stewart Harris Carter There is plenty of talent on this roster. Stop using it as a crutch. While the bottom of the roster needs an upgrade, UK has plenty of talent to win games... Hmmm, they have good talent...but they still lose to Gardner-Webb and UAB??? what could be the problem......
January 3, 200818 yr Show me a roster with 5 top 100 players in their class and I'll show you a team better than San Diego. While your point is taken, the "UK doesn't have any talent" cries are off base... 1's - Matt Scherbenske G 6-0 175 Fr Dwight Perry G 6-0 180 So Dusty Mills G 5-8 165 Fr Derrick Jasper G 6-6 213 So 2's - Michael Porter G 6-2 191 So Jodie Meeks G 6-4 212 So Ramel Bradley G 6-2 199 Sr 3's - Mark Krebs F 6-5 200 So Joe Crawford F 6-5 221 Sr 4's - Patrick Patterson F 6-9 219 Fr Ramon Harris F 6-7 216 So Mark Coury F 6-8 230 So A.J. Stewart F 6-8 208 Fr Perry Stevenson F 6-9 192 So 5's - Jared Carter C 7-2 250 Jr Morakinyo Williams C 6-11 270 Fr 1 - I see no talent at the 5 2 - I see one STUD at the 4 and a bunch of projects. 3 - I see no TRUE 3 - no dominant athlete who can be a lock down defender, mismatch in the post or perimeter, or a true scorer and a kid who did not work hard to reach potential. 4 - I see 1 solid talent at 2 and one kid who is all about himself. 5 - I see a talent at the 1....1 though, that has not played healthy yet. 6 - I see 0, and I mean 0 leadership from a SR, or JR.....BECAUSE TUBBY swung and missed with those classes on talented and character guys. When healthy UK is talented in 3 of the 5 positions, BUT 0 backups. Without Meeks and Jasper this team is not more talented than G-W or SD, period.
January 3, 200818 yr Hmmm, they have good talent...but they still lose to Gardner-Webb and UAB??? what could be the problem...... See Post #10
January 3, 200818 yr Good point GT.......I think to add to some of the previous posts, there has been almost no development of players the past few seasons (and this year). It seems to me that there is no significant improvement from year to year... Guys like Joe Crawford come in as a 5 star recruit but are still playing at the same level their senior year as their frosh season, the only difference in numbers is playing time and number of touches...
January 3, 200818 yr Crawford plays like a 4 star. Bradley plays like a 4 star. Patterson and Meeks play like 5 stars, and the rest of the team plays like 2-3 starts. The real problem is this: 1. Lack of Heart 2. Lack of Desire 3. Lack of Hustle (except for Bradley.)

January 3, 200818 yr Carter and Harris 3 stars. That tells me all I need to know about the high school rankings.
January 3, 200818 yr Crawford a "5" and Stevenson a "4".I could care less about rankings in high school.
January 3, 200818 yr Crawford a "5" and Stevenson a "4".I could care less about rankings in high school. Crawford was one of the best 2 guards in the country coming out of high school. He was ranked higher than Lofton was which is one reason why Lofton is in Tennessee.
January 3, 200818 yr Crawford was one of the best 2 guards in the country coming out of high school. He was ranked higher than Lofton was which is one reason why Lofton is in Tennessee. Crawford was an excellent high school player I was always hoping that he would step up and play like bogans did, but that never panned out.

January 3, 200818 yr Thats great for an average program. But this is Kentucky where players should be no less than 3's with the majority being 5's. Can you give me the #'s on North Carolina,Duke, Florida, or even a team like UConn? UK should be right with these teams and they are not. Right now Kentucky is an average program that is used to be at the top.
January 3, 200818 yr UNC has 11 4 and 5 star players... :eek: And that my friend is why they dominate...
