April 30, 200818 yr Great class for 2010 already, and its so exciting but frustrating at the same time to have to wait and see if these guys do end up on campus. I mean some are calling Euton the next Larry Bird, K.C. Ross Miller and Dominique Ferguson are both studly themselves so its hard not to get pumped for a class like this.
May 1, 200818 yr Talked to Mike Decourcy tonight, and he was very complimentary of the kids game. As is standard procedure, if Mike likes him, he's really good...

We've been hearing about "The Next Larry Bird" for oh what, about 20 years now? Euton will not even be close--just like the rest. I just hope he'll be a good college player.

May 1, 200818 yr Seems like I used to hear Jared Prickett's name used in the same sentence as Larry Bird's. That obviously didn't pan out.
May 1, 200818 yr Seems like I used to hear Jared Prickett's name used in the same sentence as Larry Bird's. That obviously didn't pan out. Are you referring to Jared Brickett?
May 1, 200818 yr Are you referring to Jared Brickett? Although Jared was not a Larry Bird I am not sure that Brickett is a good name for him. He did score just a little under 1000 points 998 in his career at UK. Jared had really one great year and to be honest with you I am having a hard time remembering what season it was. I think maybe it was when Mashburn was there. Anyway the reason he had such a great season was because all the other teams were focused on Mashburn or some big guy and Prickett benefited from it.

May 2, 200818 yr Ferguson has had 2 knee surgeries for a torn patella tendon and a torn ACL. That worries me. Don't get me wrong, I love it that he's committed, but I just hope he isn't injury prone.
May 2, 200818 yr Ferguson is a huge commitment! This is shaping up to be a big class, and it should be with several more scholarships available. As far as Euton and Ross-Miller I have heard very mixed reviews about both of them. But they are both only sophomores and have a lot of time to improve on their weaknesses.
