May 1, 200917 yr 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+... Yep sure can.. It has way more to do with him being the guy at UK, thus looking like a superstar thus raising his stock.
May 1, 200917 yr 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. Which is sad....I think there are still some kids out there like I named in Miller, and Hood. We would field a pretty good team with these types of players but we also need the one and dones (Wall).
May 1, 200917 yr He came because he was going to be THE guy at UK.. And he wouldnt have been at Florida? or even Duke?
May 1, 200917 yr Which is sad....I think there are still some kids out there like I named in Miller, and Hood. We would field a pretty good team with these types of players but we also need the one and dones (Wall). Not if you want the type of success UK fans demand. And all the players you mention about wanting to play for UK because it's UK are KY kids....Good luck trying to find kids outside of the state that want to come solely because it's Kentucky.
May 1, 200917 yr Once we get back to the way it was in the late 90's there will be kids who want to win championships and get to the NBA and Kentucky will be the best school to do that at again.
May 1, 200917 yr We might as well just sit back and relax. We should all just go fishing, play golf, shoot at a turkey or whatever because its probably going to be a while. We just need to relax.
May 1, 200917 yr Once we get back to the way it was in the late 90's there will be kids who want to win championships and get to the NBA and Kentucky will be the best school to do that at again. Yeah, because of the coach and the system that is ran. Not because of the name on the front of the jersey.

I said we also need some one and dones with the 4 year players that are there because of the Blue and White (Mills, Epps, Sheppard, Pa.dgett)
May 1, 200917 yr And he wouldnt have been at Florida? or even Duke? He wouldn't put up the numbers he does at either of those two schools. Well maybe Florida because they have been just as bad as UK in the last two years.
May 1, 200917 yr I said we also need some one and dones with the 4 year players that are there because of the Blue and White (Mills, Epps, Sheppard, Pa.dgett) All 4 year guys who come to kentucky are there because of the Blue and White? Come on...
May 1, 200917 yr Yeah, because of the coach and the system that is ran. Not because of the name on the front of the jersey. You cant honestly say kids dont play for the name on the front of their jersey anymore. You dont think Hansbourgh or Danny Green played for North Carolina? You think it was all about their stock? Or what about Noah, Horford and Co.? That had nothing to do with wanting to win a championship again? or play for their school for one more season?
May 1, 200917 yr He wouldn't put up the numbers he does at either of those two schools. Well maybe Florida because they have been just as bad as UK in the last two years. Why wouldn't he have put up those numbers at Duke? That is what they lacked this year and thats a big man...
May 1, 200917 yr All 4 year guys who come to kentucky are there because of the Blue and White? Come on... I didnt say all 4 year guys. I named those guys because they played for the name on the front of their jersey. Who happened to be 4 year players.

Kids want two things; championships and a system to get them into the NBA. They do not care, okay i'll give you this, 90 + percent of them do not care what team it is with. Why do you see Kids with lists of schools up until the last minute? Why do they visit 2 3 or even 4 different schools if all along they know they are UK all the way.. If Hansbourgh played for the name on his jersey why did it take so long for him to commit? Why was UK on his list all along.

Yes Championships, and Hansbourgh thought he had a better chance that UNC to get one then UK. Looks like he was right. Kids have long lists until the last minute because they love the attention. I mean why trim it down? What positive comes from this?
