You're assuming he will play at all even with coach Pitino there. I agree with Spindoc, let it go.

 

I'm not assuming anything. I was answering the questions asked. I am fully aware of what Elisha is and is not capable of. You on the other hand have dogged him and SV for the past month. That tells me all I need to know about your evaluation skills...

If this kid wants to be a coach and wants a role model. KEEP HIM AWAY FROM PITINO. I would want my kid to have an all around role model and we all know that Rick Pitino does not fit that role. Please have him meet with Travis Ford or John Pelphry!!! There are other schools beside UK and Louisville. Look at the success Chris Lofton had at Tennessee.

Not dogging. Its tough at the next level. Its even tougher as a walk-on. I hope it all works out. In fact, I encouraged others on my last post in this thread to let him do it on his own accord.

I love Elisha Justice to death and I wish him nothing but the best, but I wouldn't rate him a high-level DI player - and that includes Louisville.

 

Calipari has a Kentucky kid for the fans to love for 3 more seasons in Hood. If there are elite level players in the state, I'm all for it. We can't have 4 scholarships taken by kids that can't produce, though.

Justice will be a spot only guy at even Louisville which doesn't have the talent that Kentucky does. And just for the record I don't see the current Mr. Basketball on UK's roster staying there next year. Hood has a better chance of playing for Georgetown KY then being on UK's bench next year.

Didn't know he was coaching now...

Justice is a great high school player, and an elite talent for the mountains, but he isn't a division one basketball player. He needs to go somewhere like University of the Cumberlands or Union College and have a nice career. I wish him the best, but if he wants to play, he will have to aim lower than a division one program.

Travis Ford, a role model?

Justice is a great player, he lit it up down at state this week.

Where ever he goes, I wish him the best of luck!!

So you'd like 4 spots every season filled by guys that likely can't produce at an elite level? Isn't that why Tubby fell out of favor with UK fans???

 

Like I said, I know its probably not reasonable. But I think you also have to take into consideration that every few years the state of KY will have a Top 50 player to go after. Just like D. Miller, C.Lofton, J.Hood, R.Rondo, etc.

 

So maybe its not possible to take 1 each year. But maybe you could make sure the roster has spot for one every other year. A 4yr guy who might be able to work himself into the line ups full of ALL AMERICANS every once in awhile. Look at this years roster:

 

VALUABLE PLAYERS

Wall

Bledsoe

Cousins

Patterson

Dodson

Miller

Orton

Liggins

GUYS THAT AREN'T NECCESARRY

Hood

Krebs

Stevenson

Harris

Harrelson

 

So looking at that. I think its possible that Calipari can keep 1 or 2 KY guys on this roster at all times.

Why do we have these threads start in the first place? All they seem to do is diminish what the kid's done. Let's let him enjoy his team's accomplishment, he's already made a college choice. He can't play at that level, and that's not a knock on the kid. Good grief, terrific player.

 

I agree.

 

"All In" seems to start some questionable threads.

 

Leave the kid alone. He wants to go to Louisville, why start a thread that will cause some people to say negative things about a kid.

Did I really just read this?

Knowles is a scholarship player.

 

Did I say he wasn't?
