Is this gonna be you and the rest of Kentucky's big blue nations excuse all year? Porter isn't near as bad as you people make him out to be. Sure he isn't Ty Lawson, Flynn, Fields, but he isn't an absolute HORRIBLE point guard like some say. Galloway and Liggins are products of that brilliant coach of yours. If not for Porter in the Georgia game, UK would have lost by 15+. He didn't have a terrible game today, scoring 9 for Kentucky. Sure teams succeed with a great point guard, that's obvious, but Kentucky being in the position it's in does not fall on the shoulders of Michael Porter. I could care less about the other two, Liggins is the most overrated recruit I have saw in a while, and Galloway has shown he can play at times when ole Clyde lets him loose.

 

Dude, I like Porter. I think he could be a very serviceable backup PG. Be honest with me and tell me if he would start for any other top 25 team?

He sure did. I though Liggins would be great, but he is not a smart basketball player. HE has some very good physical skills, but he doesn't have it upstairs. Same with Galloway. They don't have any kind of basketball smarts.

Isn't this something a coach would pick up on during the recruiting process?

So that's on Gillispie then, right?

 

I guess it's on Calipari, Self, and Bruce Weber too for offering Liggins. You can't see the future and see how a recruit will handle the adjustment to the college game.

No I doubt he could, so just because of that does that make him a terrible player? No it doesn't.

Look at what those 3 guys have done, and who they have brought in compared to Billy G.

I never said he was a terrible player, how many times do I have to NOT say that? He is just not a starting point guard for a top 25 team.

He was at one time this year

He could do fine at Kentucky, people just can't stay off his back because he doesn't get 15 and 8 a game or 10 and 10. He does what he can in the situation he is in. He takes a lot of heat.

Sure is. Tubby was blasted for some of his recruiting decisions, yet 4 of UK's started are "Tubby" players, looks like BCG's guys can't even beat out Tubby's "awful" recruits...

N.I.T. Selecton Show is on ESPNU Sunday night at 9pm.

Which is exactly why it is more important to have a great coach rather than a "great" recruiter...
