Ummm. Henry, Wiggins, Vaughn, Johnson, Bennett(more PF), Young(got), Gordon, Oubre, Brown, Shabazz.

He didn't go after those guys? False.

You could throw Booker and Harrison into that mix as well. Physically those guys are close to the starting 3's on the last two champions.

And of course, let us not forget the mercurial Darnell Dodson.

Cal is like Joe Beezeman Hall per my dad. Both before UK were known as high scoring up tempo coaches. Then they get here, realize they can pick & chose the very best 6'10 - 7 footers in the country, and suddenly they want to do nothing but slow plodding post up back to the basket dominated offenses.

If you just look at the traditional numbers, Briscoe had a pretty solid freshman campaign- 9.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists.

With Fox's tendency to be erratic at times, I'm curious if he'll run the point more this season.

At this point the only real reason I want Bolden is to keep Duke from getting him.

I don't think the dude gets many minutes at Duke either. K likes a tighter rotation than Cal. Is he going to play over Giles or Jefferson? Nope. Considering the presence of Allen, Jackson, Jones and Kennard, I'm betting Tatum plays a ton of Ingram-style 4, too.

At this point I want Bolden to come here so I don't have to see people RTing the stupid shot our fans tweet at a recruit who doesn't pick UK.

My hate for Tatum was confirmed the moment in the McDs game where on the break instead of shuttling a pass to Bam so he could tear the rim down he pulled a Murray and kept it. Weak *** selfish bs.

Unlike Fred Maggard, I get the sense that Piecoro hates UK football as much as we do, so I'm inclined to believe what he says.

4-8. We will score a lot of points, but won't be able to stop anyone. Lose a lot of shootouts. Get embarrassed at least twice. Bama and somebody else.

Whew, thank you Avery & Bama. Glad my winter viewing of SECN will be without John's infuriating accent mix of Paintville with a heavy dose of NY city

I didn't have the pleasure of listening to Pelphrey during the season. So he basically sounds like Phil Simms now?

Tubby to Memphis won't end well imo. For a "mid-major" those folks are passionate about their basketball heritage, and when you mix that with a false sense of what they think they should be, their expectations under him will be lofty/unrealistic. The pressure will end up causing him to recruit/settle for a bunch of Team Turmoil types from that seedy AAU circuit.

He's better served to finish out his back 9 at a place like Texas Tech. Relax, enjoy making the dance a time or two, and then tip your cap to the gallery as you head out. <------ That sounds like the Tubby we all know.

* I hope Tubby does well. If Penny can recruit for him and keep some kids home they can do some damage. Beating up on UConn and UC would make me happy. If not, f*ck 'em. They're Memphis.

* If you have an open lane to the basket on a fast break, take it. No need to make an easy play tougher.

That rule did not apply to 87% of Murray's selfish takes.

* My sister will be awarded the key to the city of Bellevue this weekend. Why is not important. All I need to know is will the key unlock the door to Pasquales?

Tubby sucked at Minnesota (never above .500 in the Big 10) and was only marginally successful at Texas Tech (one winning season, never about .500 in the B12), but people think he'll do okay at Memphis, which is actually a tough job with a lot of moving parts in recruiting? LOL
