I would also call him a long distance threat, as most Kelsch's are!

Dont think they need another Porter on their team...Walls should go to mid major school and have a good 4 years of ball and get a good education unless he wants to walk on at UK

How reliable are everyone's sources now?

Hardymon, White, Groves and Cummins were all seniors. I believe they return two starters, Staggs and Shawn White who will take over point guard duties from his older brother. Chris Mofford will be called upon for scoring next year as well as his already honed defensive ability. The rest is probably still up in the air. Losing four seniors always takes a toll on a small school like A-Town.

He played at Greenup or Lewis Co.? Which one? I have met this kid before, when he was in Kentucky and I think I recall he was a Kentucky fan. I had no idea he was at WVU! If all else fails, I say we lure him in as a transfer. I wonder if he could play without sitting out a year since he was a redshirt. He is a really great kid. Where did he play when he left the state? Any stats?

I have to agree. I have been playing this thing by ear, not coming to any assumptions or conclusions. I have many reasons to think he will come to UK and there are some reasons that it just doesn't make sense, one being a press conference before Billy is presented the trophy in Gainesville. Having read numerous posts on the topic, it's really hard for me to say what's going to happen but one thing is for sure, I'm freakin nervous! GOSH! :irked:

I voted for Durant. He is the best player in the country. But, Oden will the number one draft pick. You can build your NBA franchise around him. Maybe the Grizzlies will get lucky and their ball will be pulled out first. Then Billy D and Oden could build a franchise. LOL

It seems to me that Dickie V thinks he is doing Billy D a favor by telling what's bad about taking the UK job. He doesn't want to see Billy brought down by the negative criticism bestowed upon a Kentucky coach from many True Blue fans. I understand where he is coming from. But, someone has to take the job and as Digger and Bilas said he could be a basketball god in the bluegrass if he were to restore the intimidation that once underlined the program.

I think he is referring to Gillespie's extension at A&M.

Good to feel some love...LOL

Again ima say this one more time...I didnt start this thread to compare Chris to JJ Redick...I started to inform that he may attend pre-draft camp to see where stands...Doubters will doubt and chris will continue to do what he does...If you can shoot like JJ and Chris there is a place for you in the NBA...It just depends on what team drafts you and if you fit that system...Chris would go in the first round this yr (name me 30 better guys that are better than him right now) but pretty sure he will go back to school...So, for all the posters that are saying he cant do this and cant do that, there game tape out there to prove it...So please no more JJ Redick comparisons

Thats exactly what i'm saying...If he went to a team with a superstar, like the Lakers, who need a shooter with Kobe...Dallas, Detroit, Denver, San antonio...any of the teams that are competing for a Ring...add a shooter like chris to come off the bench and contribute and they will take him in the 20-30 range this June...He does well at camp, he moves up...But i'll say right now hes between 25-30 picks right now...all he can do is go up

I know they are great people (Related to them)...But i think Chris will turn some heads at Pre-draft camp and might sneak up there close to around that number...Put him on a team with a superstar or 2 and he will be good...I know a couple of teams that could use him and his shooting right now...But wont hurt to give it a try :thumb:

And I Agree with you

I know its important for chris to get a degree and everything but if he works hard and helps his stock out by being between that range i said earlier about 12-20, then he will leave and make the jump...If hes not within that top 20 then he will be back next yr but next yr will be a drop off because of the talent next yr that could come out...And i didnt open this thread to talk about Redick, thats already been talked about...this is about Chris and his decision to go to pre draft camps...and yes Chris can dunk!!! just hasnt done it in a real game for some reason

I feel either way if he goes this yr or next, he will be a late first round pick early 2nd...If he does really well at the camp and can get between that 12-20spot pick this yr, i would go...Because next yr with the guards that could come out, i dont see him being that high of a pick next yr unless like you said Camel, he has a great yr injury free

http://www.volnation.com/blog/2007-03-30/lofton-to-look-at-nba/ Just found the link I think its a smart move on his part just to see where he stands and things he should work on for next year

Let's see if this is legit...I have a spare bedroom here in Augusta!

Tubby Smith is gone, yet fans keep talking about him...Just let it be and hope UK gets a good coach to turn it around...Its done and over...You guys wanted him gone, so hes gone...Tubby has taken responsibility but right now hes at minnesota...let the A.D. take care of it since he likes to try to play hero and save the day

Gene Hackman - Coach Norman Dale

Thanks Tubby! We will see you soon in the NIT, buddy!

C.M. Newton cared more about the basketball team nobody really cared about the other sports...Basketball is what UK is about not those other sports

People please stop bringing guys who are stars on their team and saying "what if"...Chris would not be the player he is if hes at UK and not UT and the same with Brewer...Now what if Brandon Stockton went to UC or Josh Carrier went to UT and was doing the same things Lofton and Brewer and everybody else UK missed on...we would not be having this discussion...And to make a good point: I think the program personally went down when Narnhardt became AD after C.M. Newton...The A.D. plays a part as well as the Coach...Maybe the UK fans should be wanting him to resign or leave instead of Tubby...But i'll guess we'll see in the future which decision was best

I really do feel sorry for the next Coach at UK if he has to put up with what Tubby has these past 2 Years

Then hang a Louisville banner, Pitino doesn't coach UK and is not considered for the job...I will.
