Jason This could be the best front court of all time. Anyway I'd like to see them challenged by coach Cal. First I'm very excited about Murray. Just want him to see everything Blue. Here is hoping he loves his visit and decides to become a Wildcat!
Jamal Murray visiting UK

Exactly.No way he plays college ball if he doesn't reclassify so why would be bother with visits?
Murray must be close to committing to UK or these **** house rumors about Calipari wouldn't be breaking.
Agree about reclassifying, he's already 18 and is a projected lottery pick. There's no reason for him to spend another year in high school or prep school or wherever.
Coach worked extremely hard to get him on campus. Trust me he's getting red carpet treatment. A lot of smart people think his recruitment might drag on for a little while and probably take visits to Oregon , uconn and maybe Syracuse. Other influences are helping UK on this one. No not $$$$ it will be enough to land him imo
Nike
Z71 what do you think the chances are he commits to UK without visiting Oregon and uconn etc?
The fact that he made it to the UK campus with NOBODY knowing about until the dad texted Zagoria, tells me these guys ain't talking to nobody. So, I don't trust any rumors.
I'm praying that we won't be disappointed again. Got not only my fingers, but also toes crossed.
You're exactly right but how is playing prep school basketball going to raise your stock? There is a ceiling for this kid if he stays prep...it would make very little sense financially.
I don't think it would be unreasonable to say next year's back court if we were to add Murray *could* be the best in Cal's time here. Obviously we would have to see how it plays out first though.
Dante Exum was considered a top 10 pick out of high school. Murray is projected at 21 by DraftExpress. There is some room for him to move up the chart if he impresses at a high profile program like UK.
Maybe that's the key, honestly. Really strong guard play wins championships. Kentucky will undoubtedly run smaller but quicker lineups next year, and sometimes the lineup will be drastically different than 2014/15. I'd be fine running conventional PF/PF-C, and three guards on the outside.
3-4 great ballhandlers. Check.
2-3 good shooter to spread the floor and keep teams from playing zone. Check.
A couple of super athletic big men that don't have to camp out in the paint, play above the rim, and like to catch alley oops. Check.
With Murray, we have everything we need to run the DDMO to near perfection.
Murray is the key. Cal knows this. This is why he is all in on Murray.

Syracuse? Do they even have scholarships open for 2015? Thought that was why Thomas Bryant didn't end up going because they didn't have room with the scholarship reduction. And UConn just landed Gibbs so that could work in our favor as well. Oregon only one that scares me.
My stats prediction.
Tyler Ulis- 12pts, 7ast, 2rbs
Isaiah Briscoe- 12pts, 4ast, 3rbs
Jamal Murray- 15pts, 3ast, 4rbs
Alex Poythress- 9pts, 8rbs, 1blks
Skal Labissiere- 14pts, 9rbs, 4blks
Mychal Mulder- 8pts, 4rbs
Charles Mathews- 4pts, 2rbs
Marcus Lee- 7pts, 6rbs, 3blks

Not even the best of the Cal era. Knight/Lamb >>> any combination you want to throw out there.
I would expect this kid doesn't sign an LOI. I don't care when he commits so long as he commits to Kentucky. Tomorrow would be great obviously.
