May 1, 200917 yr A program in its longest Final Four drought in school history, right? The blame you are placing on Wall for taking his time is as far off base as one can possibly get... No the program that once was the greatest in the country is back on the rise to the top again. And these players want to be apart of that. I dont place blame on Wall for taking his time. Its more of what else he could be considering and why the heck he would add North Carolina Central to his list.
May 1, 200917 yr No the program that once was the greatest in the country is back on the rise to the top again. And these players want to be apart of that. The players clearly don't know and/or don't care about that...
May 1, 200917 yr I am willing to bet that Walker, Mercer, Anderson, McCarty, Sheppard, etc. took in the fact that UK is the winningest program in histoy into consideration when picking their college choice. So no facts... Gotcha.
May 1, 200917 yr I'd take that bet all day every day... You know the kids that decorate their whole bedroom with UK stuff, the ones that bled blue blood, guys like Farmer, Pelphrey, Feldhaus, Mills, Padgett, Hanson, Shepherd, just to name a few. From the description that I am hearing everybody talk about, none of those guys and many others would be considered good enough to be a Wildcat now, maybe Shepherd ? I think Vilarino was one of thsoe guys and could be a loss, because he does have talent and he is/was a Kentucky fan and he wanted to play here because it IS KENTUCKY. You need some one & dones to be a great team, but you also need the ones that have huge hearts and are proud to wear that jersey because of the name on the front of it, not just using it as a stepping stone to the NBA. It will be like this again one day...I know it will.
May 1, 200917 yr Just to shed some insight into Wall visiting North Carolina Central....Apparently the head coach there is a friend of Wall and the family, and he's visiting as a way of saying thanks.
May 1, 200917 yr College Basketball is changing into the NBDL imo. It's kind of sad really. What has happened to all of the players wanting to come to UK to wear the Blue and White? I think there are still some out there like that...(Hood, Miller, Patterson, Chuck Hayes) These are the true Kentucky guys and they type of guys we need here at UK. Players who know what this school is all about.
May 1, 200917 yr Vilarino was but Jon Hood isnt? Hood is just forgot to include him. I did in my next reply.:thumb:
May 1, 200917 yr Have patience folks. This is the first time in over 10 years we have even had a shot at a kid like this.:thumb:

May 1, 200917 yr Check out this post from that website. Ignorant on many levels. "john wall going to nccu would change sports in this country like obama changed politics.john would make history and that is something money can not buy.every kid in the country would consider more than money when they chose a school to play for.nccu would love john wall like a native son.central would welcome him with open arms even if he never scored a basket."

Players who know what this school is all about. Times change.. This isn't 1992, this is 2009, kids do not care about the blue and white. Sure it has to due with the Wildcats lack of success, it also has to do with kids not caring about college basketball anymore.
May 1, 200917 yr Patterson coming because he wanted to wear Blue and White??? :lol: Okay, now I've heard everything. He grew up like 2 hrs from here. So your saying he came becuase of Gillispie? I doubt that, he was going to come when Tubby was coaching, and came even though he got fired, now he still may be here even after Gillispie was fired? You cant tell me it has nothing to do with playin in Rupp in front of 23000+...

Yeah I'd totally disregard this comment....Probably a huge liberal haha...
