May 23, 201115 yr Definately an interesting case. If Kentucky ends up signing Woods I'll root for him and hope everything pans out well and at the end of his career we are blessed with a solid player who provided good productive minutes for the team and was an outstanding player. I think regardless of where Woods goes, fans of that team will probably cringe initially, its the nature of the beast, you get charged with a serious crime, you are labelled. I hope Woods proves the label wrong and takes full advantage of his second chance wherever it may be. Sadly, KSR's one downside is their ability to sometimes post without much foresight. They have really created a stigma for this kid in the eyes of Wildcat fans.

May 25, 201115 yr I think with the right staff this kid could be good. I think he deserves a second chance as everyone else does. Totally agree on the second chance thing. When someone who has made a mistake admits the mistake & expresses a sincere desire to rebuild his/her life, you give the second chance with no strings attached. If Woods falls into this category & desires to come to UK, then there is nothing inherently wrong with that. Having said that, Cal has preached a "player's first" program from the time of his introductory UK press conference. If I'm Cal & I'm really all about players first, I tell this kid, "I'd love to have you, because I think you can do some great things here. But I need to be honest about the microscope under which UK basketball permanently resides. There is no other college program like this & I'm not sure this is the best place for you to rebuild your life. I'll leave the decision to you, but I'm only looking out for your own best interest in telling you that this will be a difficult place for you."

I enjoy it and it does give a lot of water cooler talking points and little tid bits of information, but like a lot of media these days, take it all with a grain of salt.
