February 21, 200917 yr It doesn't even begin to compare to the SEC East in football. No, because the SEC in football is a beefed up BigEast. But give BCG some credit, the team he was left with as pretty horrible. Bradley and Crawford were terribly underachieving, and he turned that team around and went 12-4 in the SEC and beat both of the top contenders for the SEC crown last season. I think people are quick to jump off his bandwagon for some his brusque behavior towards Jeanine Edwards-which I think was very rude myself-and the fact he is stubborn with in-game adjustments-which I am too-but give him time. Anyone that thought he could take UK to a FF last year or this year needs a reality check.

Comparing Brooks to Gillispie is a total farce...

February 21, 200917 yr Not trying to be mean, but you are the one that needs a reality check here. Comparing Brooks to Gillispie is a total farce... Well, considering the fact that BCG has led us to two halfway decent seasons the past two years with some pretty bad players: Michael Porter, Darius Miller, Ramon Harris, Jared Carter, and AJ Stewart. Really UK has two players that would get PT anywhere and then most of our other players probably wouldn't play at a Mid-Major school.

I think you shoould remove Miller from your list of horrible players. He is far from horrible and he is a freshman.
February 21, 200917 yr I think you shoould remove Miller from your list of horrible players. He is far from horrible and he is a freshman. Yes, Miller & Stewart should not be on that list. Isn't AJ a sophomore who didn't get much PT last year and this year. I just want to see more AJ Stewart before I judge. I really feel he has some talent and athletism that will help UK as we move forward.
February 21, 200917 yr Let's see. With 4 games remaining the Cats are 19-8. That's the best record with 4 games remaining in 4 years. '08-'09 season 19-8 '07-'08 season 16-10 '06-'07 season 18-8 '05-'06 season 17-9

February 21, 200917 yr Brooks was left a program in shambles, on probation and in the SEC East. Gillispie got a tournament team and while there were holes in the roster he didn't get what guys like Crean and Cronin had to rebuild. That's much more like what Brooks got. Apples and anchovies... Call me cooky, but I can't help but think BCG had more talent on last year's roster than what they have now. I think he's done a great job this year considering what he's had to work with.
February 22, 200917 yr I think you shoould remove Miller from your list of horrible players. He is far from horrible and he is a freshman. I think he had a very nice state tournament and got the Scholarship because of two reasons IMO: He was Mr. Basketball and UK did not want to miss out on another great player from Mason County. He may be a freshman, but I think his mistakes-and there are many from this season-outweigh the good things he has done. Also, Stewart did not get a lot of PT last season and really this season other than the past two or three games for a reason.

Also, Stewart did not get a lot of PT last season and really this season other than the past two or three games for a reason. He may have some mistakes..but hes a freshman, and he has really been contributing well the past 3 games. Most freshman who are 4 star recruits dont come right in and dominate at major schools. Hes not a lottery pick or anything by far, but the kid can play and is far from a pretty bad player..thats all I am trying to say.
March 6, 200917 yr Let's see. With 4 games remaining the Cats are 19-8. That's the best record with 4 games remaining in 4 years. '08-'09 season 19-8 '07-'08 season 16-10 '06-'07 season 18-8 '05-'06 season 17-9 The other side of that coin is that UK's schedule was much tougher as was the SEC than what we have seen this year.
