March 28, 201016 yr Nope. especially not dead eye shooters. So you are calling Knight a dead eye shooter? How many times have you seen him play again???
March 28, 201016 yr So you are calling Knight a dead eye shooter? How many times have you seen him play again??? Never. I just like gettin in your kitchen:lol: Doesn't change the fact that shooters are are rare breed anymore
March 28, 201016 yr Catch 22.... UK goes to the final 4 or championship this question isn't asked. Fact: There are lottery picks in every high school recruiting class. They either go to UK or somewhere else. Trying to keep them in school coach Cal or anyone else.. Good luck.
March 28, 201016 yr There is a better chance of him getting Kentucky in trouble with the NCAA then there is of him leading them to the national championship. Based on what?
March 28, 201016 yr I'd say you're probably wrong. As GT and I both noted in other threads, John Wall has been a blast to watch this year. Unlike a lot of UK fans, GT and I can appreciate a player while still not cheering for the team. It is not unlike a lot of Kentucky fans. I know plenty of Kentucky fans who enjoy the game of basketball & love watching certain players play, myself included. Quit lumping the Kentucky fans you have encountered in with the rest of the Big Blue Nation. Or, keep doing it if that's how you get your jollies.
March 28, 201016 yr Doesn't change the fact that shooters are are rare breed anymore That's because for most "shooters" all they can do is shoot. I'm sure Mack at X would love to play Brad Redford more, but he can't keep him in the game all that often because the opponent attacks him on every possession on the other end. The same goes for Andre Dawkins at Duke, although he has a much higher upside going forward. If and when Knight picks UK he will instantly be the best shooter on the team, but if he comes in and shoots 20+ times a game and often disregards his teammates like he has done in HS and AAU ball it will create unneeded problems. I'll be sure to remind you as it happens... :thumb:

There's no reason for me to expect anything different with next year's class.

There's no reason for me to expect anything different with next year's class. It will be much more similar to Tyreke Evans than it will be Wall or Rose. It took a lot more time to fit Evans into the system because he wasn't the natural distributor like the other two...

As you are well are, the name of the game is win. After seeing Darius, Darnell, Eric shot sporadically, I think some consistency would be welcomed.
March 28, 201016 yr So, if you're a college head coach, you stay off this guy? Doubt it... Not at all. You just have a lot of work to do to make him fit in the system. Are you done chasing your tail yet???
March 28, 201016 yr So you are calling Knight a dead eye shooter? How many times have you seen him play again??? Not many people have, but it doesn't have to be your job to know that he is a great shooter.............................
March 28, 201016 yr Not at all. You just have a lot of work to do to make him fit in the system. Are you done chasing your tail yet??? Hmm. I think I brought up a coaches roles in this whole thing. If he comes to UK, we will take the good with the bad, as we did with the frosh this season. Seemed to work out OK.
