January 20, 201214 yr Would this mean that UL's recent spin out of control didn't have anything to do with his decision? Whether it did or not, I'm sure he'd play it off as though it didn't. Did any reporter ask something along those lines? I didn't get to watch it. Outside of his dad being a UL fan I never really got the sense they were much of a threat to land him...
January 20, 201214 yr Outside of his dad being a UL fan I never really got the sense they were much of a threat to land him...Haven't seen it anywhere, but would you mind sharing your thoughts on Willis? Is he a good get for UK?
January 20, 201214 yr Haven't seen it anywhere, but would you mind sharing your thoughts on Willis? Is he a good get for UK? Like his game a lot. Very versatile on the offensive end and as he adds strength he should become a solid defender. In terms of skill I think he is similar to Wiltjer in that he is a good sized kid that can hit shots from all over the floor. Nice 4 year type kid...

January 21, 201214 yr Apparently the UL message boards now claim they never wanted Willis, I think he has a chance to be a good player and I don't think Cal would have wasted a scholly on a kid he didn't think could play
January 21, 201214 yr Apparently the UL message boards now claim they never wanted Willis, I think he has a chance to be a good player and I don't think Cal would have wasted a scholly on a kid he didn't think could play I'd love to make fun of this, but every fan base does the same. Hopefully he'll make them eat their words in a few years though.
January 21, 201214 yr What were your thoughts after watching him? I've seen him several times, and he's gotten better each time. He's not going to come into college and be a 20 ppg scorer. He can be a glue guy who does a little of everything, like Darius Miller. Versatile, can put it on the floor, has good hands in the passing lanes. Remember -- he's not even 17 and has grown a good inch or two since March, and figures to grow some more.

Will he be as good as Scott Padgett?
January 21, 201214 yr Outside of his dad being a UL fan I never really got the sense they were much of a threat to land him... I thought the same thing. It always seemed like Purdue and Kentucky were the only two choices. Louisville and Indiana were in the mix due to proximity, but they were both merely looking to show.
January 21, 201214 yr Will he be as good as Scott Padgett? Could be, if he can add some muscle and become a stronger post defender and rebounder. He'll end up taller than Padgett, for sure. I thought the same thing. It always seemed like Purdue and Kentucky were the only two choices. Louisville and Indiana were in the mix due to proximity, but they were both merely looking to show. More will be coming on to express interest, I think. Nobody noticed him last year until the SW 16.
January 21, 201214 yr Has way more talent than Padgett. Padgett maximized his potential but Willis still has a very high ceiling. If he keeps it together he should end up being a much better player than Padgett.
January 21, 201214 yr Has way more talent than Padgett. Padgett maximized his potential but Willis still has a very high ceiling. If he keeps it together he should end up being a much better player than Padgett. Sounds good to me. Padgett played a little NBA ball, didn't he?
January 21, 201214 yr Sounds good to me. Padgett played a little NBA ball, didn't he? Yep. Just goes to show that when your big you have a shot in the NBA, Jorts is another example of that. If you are big and 6'10'' and can hit that perimeter shot and pull boards you have a good shot to land somewhere. I think Willis needs to fill out more if he wants to be that type of player, but while at Kentucky I see him having much more of an impact than Padgett did. He is very versatile and if he can get 4 years under Calipari he should put up solid numbers all across the board.
January 21, 201214 yr Sounds good to me. Padgett played a little NBA ball, didn't he? Padgett was a 1st round selection who played 6 or 7 years in the league.
April 27, 201412 yr He is more athletic than Wiltjer correct? #fatJason is more athletic than Wiltjer.
