November 28, 200916 yr There was a piece in The Enquirer today by Richard Skinner showing which local colleges produce the most NBA players. It's UK in a run away with 9: Azabuike, Bogans, Hayes, Magloire, Meeks, Mohammed, Morris, Prince and Rondo. Many from that list were recruited by Tubby. It was always said that Pitino could recruit because he could put players in the NBA. Well, I think he could do it because he was at UK. Louisville now has 3 with Clark, Garcia and Williams. Heck, Louisville has the same amount as Xavier and two less than Ohio State. This list is really going to grow next year for the Cats.
November 28, 200916 yr Author I know everyone is wondering, so here's the list School In NBA Duke 14 UCLA 14 Connecticut 13 North Carolina 13 Arizona 10 Florida 9 Kansas 9 Kentucky 9
November 28, 200916 yr Many from that list were recruited by Tubby. It was always said that Pitino could recruit because he could put players in the NBA. Well, I think he could do it because he was at UK. I'm pretty sure it was at least 13 players when Pitino's guys were still in the league.
November 28, 200916 yr Author Is this list of current NBA players? Yes current 2009-2010 NBA player roster by college. The link is in post #2.
November 28, 200916 yr I'm pretty sure it was at least 13 players when Pitino's guys were still in the league. That sounds pretty close as there were quite of few of Pitinos who spent at least some time in the NBA. Mashburn, Padgett, Delk, Mercer, Walker, McCarty, Shepherd, etc.
November 28, 200916 yr Author Awfully confusing thread title. I guess it could be considered a little confusing. So sorry to everyone. This is the list of current NBA players in the NBA.
November 28, 200916 yr I wonder how many guys on UK's current roster will be in the NBA someday...I'd say five for certain. Cousins Patterson Orton Miller Wall Bledsoe probably. And, perhaps Liggins...we'll have to see how he looks under Calipari.

And, perhaps Liggins...we'll have to see how he looks under Calipari. Bledsoe's more likely than both Miller and Orton, IMO...
November 28, 200916 yr Bledsoe's more likely than both Miller and Orton, IMO... Bledsoe is a much better shooter than advertised. I believe he will go to the NBA early as well. He is not ready this year but he works really hard and has been playing injured for most of the year...so far.:thumb:
November 28, 200916 yr I guess it could be considered a little confusing. So sorry to everyone. This is the list of current NBA players in the NBA. More of a joke...in that they have the most locally but a different school leads overall.
November 28, 200916 yr Bledsoe's more likely than both Miller and Orton, IMO... Wall, Patterson, and Cousins are projected to go in the 2010 draft. Orton is projected top 10 for 2011 and Bledsoe in the first round as well. These are just projections, but that is 5 in the next 2 years.
