June 17, 200818 yr Whats everyones feelings on Shawn Kemp Jr? Any chance he tries to make up for dad's mistakes? He is a big body and that is something we need.
June 18, 200818 yr He is a big body and that is something we need. If we miss on Orton I wouldn't mind if Kemp came in. He has been one of the fastest rising players in the class and he certainly has the body and genes to become a solid player.
June 18, 200818 yr He is a big body and that is something we need. He's a big, skinny body. About a quarter of the weight his dad was during his last couple years of his NBA career... He's pretty raw, too. I would liken him to Perry Stevenson.
June 23, 200818 yr Author Daniel Orton's dad is working the UK Father/Son Camp, and told a few people that UK leads for his son and he hopes it works out. Orton is UK's best chance for a big guy. I think he will wait til the spring, and monitor Patterson situation. If Patterson jumps at NBA, UK's chances go up significantly IMO. If he doesn't they still have a decent shot but maybe a tougher road... The Liggins news is all over the place, but most think he will make it...I am still EXTREMELY CONFIDENT he makes it.
June 23, 200818 yr Author Watford had a good NBAPA Camp. Says pretty much UK, UL, Memphis, Indiana, Alabama are the schools showing the most interest. Jon Hood had a really good NBAPA Camp...once he adds some bulk he will be a really nice college player.
June 27, 200818 yr What about John Wall? A lot of websites have him as the number 1 overall player in this class
July 14, 200818 yr What about John Wall? A lot of websites have him as the number 1 overall player in this class John Wall was reported saying that his new top 3 are UK, Memphis, and Kansas, and not in any particular order.
July 14, 200818 yr Brad Reese, a juco player who is supposedly very good could be a late addition for UK in 08. I am not sure all the details, I believe hes just played 1 year of juco. If he can get eligible he is considering UK. He is 6-6, athletic, and a very good shooter based on what I heard.

Seems to be a pattern BCG is attracted too.
July 14, 200818 yr John Wall was reported saying that his new top 3 are UK, Memphis, and Kansas, and not in any particular order. I read last week, from Jeff Goodman, that Wall's top three are Baylor, Oregon and Oklahoma St. Demling even mentioned it in his blog. Seems odd to me...
July 14, 200818 yr Pattern or not, if they have talent this late and you have a need, you take the chance. They are still available for a reason, and that reason may be getting worked out over the summer when most other teams have full rosters. Take the talent you need when available and hope for the best. All coaches take chances on grades, attitude or motivation when gathering talent, early or late. It's a gamble.
July 14, 200818 yr I read last week, from Jeff Goodman, that Wall's top three are Baylor, Oregon and Oklahoma St. Demling even mentioned it in his blog. Seems odd to me... What I saw was a direct quote from Wall from this weekend. I still think its going to be very tough to get him, but we still seem to be in the thick of things.
July 14, 200818 yr If he can get elgible, where have we heard that before. Seems to be a pattern BCG is attracted too. Not saying that its not, but I havent heard anything as far as him getting eligible havig to do with grades. I believe its more about him only being in juco 1 year and then playing.
