    Marcus Lee Withdrawing From Draft. Transferring From UK

    I could have sworn it was a 38-1 record, not 38-0.

    On behalf of the couches in Lexington

    Zipp, I do love that post!!! Didn't World Wide Cal come within one loss this year, in an embarrassment of a football conference, of being a Ten Loss Tubby?

    Reggie Bonnafon

    To put that 43.5" vertical leap into perspective, it would tie for 7th place in a list of the all-time highest vertical leaps in NFL Combine history! It would also tie Nate Robinson for 11th highest vertical leapers in NBA history. Darrell Griffith and Michael Jordan tie for first on that list...

    Kevin Willard and Rick Pitino

    Jeebus guys, I know we are emotionally a little close to this situation and we're hurting because a damn good team just stayed home in the post-season, but I can't believe the level of handwringing over this! I could be proven wrong and of course I hope that isn't the case, but a couple...

    Wow!

    CardLaw, four out of seven national titles is pretty freakin close to six straight. Close enough to not make a point out of it. Clearly the star rating system, or any rating system, doesn't always get it right, but it is obvious if you can stockpile the human capital at the top of the rating...

    What Do You Think Of The Proposed NCAA Rule Changes?

    If they are shortening the shot clock and removing the timeout reset of the 10 second violation clock, I don't mind seeing the 5 second closely guarded penalty go away. It isn't called all that frequently and it allows the refs to more closely watch the action during sped up play versus also...

    Shaq Aaron transferring

    Guys, recruiting is just like dating. You make educated guesses, but in the end it's all a crap shoot. Our coaches sell themselves and our program to the recruits. You are naive if you think the recruits don't love the attention and sell themselves just as hard to the coaches. The coach talks...

    Mitchell moves up to No. 17 in rankings

    The scouting report on Mitchell is an incredibly strong athletic player, with the ability to put the ball on the floor, drive and finish. But it also says his outside shot and mid-range game has a lot of room for improvement. I have a hard time imagining that lining him up for a one and done...

    James Quick in the Slot?

    Chipper, I hope you and the other guys feeling great about this change are right, but I do for a fact know that the guys lighting Quick up after a catch across the middle this year won't be wearing Male or Moore High jerseys!

    Donovan Mitchell shines at Jordan Brand Regional Classic

    The scouting report on Mitchell though is he is a slasher, finisher, scorer, but the vast majority of his scoring is on dribble drive to the basket and has a lot of work to do on his jump shot and mid-range game. Hope that part develops quickly and strongly!!

    James Quick in the Slot?

    My only hesitancy with this plan is James hasn't exactly shown the world's best hands in catching the ball consistently in his first two seasons. The slot position going across the middle a lot is the place where you absolutely have to have sure hands to avoid tipped and bobbled balls being...

    Trey Lewis makes it official!

    I think Lewis, from what I've seen, is closer in talent to Rozier but with a better shot, than he is to Jones. Yes, I think by mid-season our backcourt will be better, and more importantly more effective, than the one we had this year prior to Jones leaving.

    Rozier 14 rebounds

    Terry got as many rebounds as Harrell, Mathiang and Blackshear did combined. Let that sink in for a moment!!!

    OT: The only thing I know about UC Irvin

    If you are going to complain about something happening in California, at least educate yourself on the issue. They did not try to ban the American flag from the campus! They only tried to ban it from the lobby of the student government building because they were trying to push for an inclusive...

    Anton Gill

    I could be way off, but I thought when he was shooting lights out at FSU that he was very squared up to the basket and in balance, but the vast majority of the time he shoots with his body turned at a significant angle to the basket and has more of a pushing motion. ??
