February 25, 200917 yr Stats never tell the whole story. He was the unquestioned floor general. He got guys in the right spots, made good decisions, and as he showed in the 98' title run, when he wanted to get to the basket his combination of size, strength, and speed made him virtually impossible to stop. I agree 100%. Wayne Turner is one of my all-time favorite players at UK because of what he brought to the team. People always questioned his stats, but he scored plenty and shot 48% from the field. Remember, he didn't have to score much - he was on two national title teams. Also one of (maybe the) winningest players in college basketball history.
February 25, 200917 yr Rondo's shut down D spectacular ball handleing and ability to penetrate defenses makes him a great choice
February 25, 200917 yr I was at a local grocery store, With my father..And just so happens Travis Ford was there, and My father ask me If I would like for him to sign something for me, And the way he treated me and my Father was ridiculus. So from that day forward I haven't liked him, Like we should bow to him because he wore a UK uniform, Forget that....I will never pull for him, And as BIG of a fan of UK as I am, Would quit pulling for UK IF he ever became the Head Coach....I Hate him That Is why I hate Travis Ford...Which I have the right to Like/Dislike anyone I choose...lol It's funny you say that. My brother cannot stand Travis Ford for a similar reason. He and his buddy (who were in grade school at the time) asked Ford for his autograph & Ford tried to charge them $5. They were at a basketball camp, and Ford was the guest speaker. Rondo's shut down D spectacular ball handleing and ability to penetrate defenses makes him a great choice Rondo would be a great choice, particularly since this team needs a PG; however, this team needs another shooter and I don't think Rondo would help too much in that regard. Here are my top 3 choices: Rajon Rondo - As I mentioned, we need a PG and Rondo is a stud. He'd also be able to drive to the hole and kick out to Meeks or dish to PatPat. Erik Daniels - I'd love to see the post play w/ Patterson & Daniels down low, complimenting each other. Tony Delk - A guard who can flat out shoot the rock.
February 25, 200917 yr Obviously Jamal Mashburn! Hes the man. A guy no one has mentioned who would really solve a lot of problems is Derek Anderson. Hes a good defender, shooter, and penetrator. Thats probably the best combination of the 3 things I can think of that would really help UK.
February 25, 200917 yr I think a pure shooter like Patrick Sparks could definetly help the cats this year.
February 25, 200917 yr Monster Mash because he is the best player to wear the uniform in my viewing era. Travis Ford was notorious in Richmond for being a donkey. I can vouch for that. Met him at a camp at EKU and thought " I wished I'd never met you.":madman: My buddy sitting here didn't like him either. :taz:

February 25, 200917 yr Please explain..:popcorn: Saw him and the Team in the CVG airport one year as they had returned from Maui. Me and a friend talked with Rodrick Rhodes for about 10 minutes straight, very nice fella. Tried to speak and congradulate Ford, he acted as we were totally beneath him and wouldn't give us the time of day.

February 25, 200917 yr Wayne Turner. We need a point guard. Wayne was a pass first point and great defender. Better IMO than Hawkins, Epps, and even Rondo in college. Great winner in the NCAA tourney.
