    Nike tried to pay Zion in High School

    Nike didn't try to pay Zion. Nike paid Zion and paid him well. And there will never be any doubt in my mind of it.

    This team seems to be embracing the weight room

    They're all ripped. Hagans looks like he's put on a solid 15 pounds in muscle. Quickley is ripped. EJ Montgomery looked like he'd put some bulk on. I really think Montgomery is going to come out and destroy this year. Maybe not PJ level, but he is going to be hard to handle.

    I take back every bad thing I said about Jimmy Dykes

    Dykes was great on the call last night. I have been super impressed with Karl Ravech in his calling UK games. He's one of the best baseball guys ESPN has, in my opinion, and he is nailing it on the college hoops. Someone posted earlier a Jimmy Dykes-Tom Hart combo. That would be audio gold. from...

    Mike Bibby

    All I can remember about bibby is billy packer screaming his head off in the 97 championship game (which pitino threw because he knew he was leaving) about him and "simon says". Yeah, well, billy packer can eat it.

    Comparing Nick Richards to Willie Cauley-Stein

    I don't think you're crazy at all. Dakari Johnson seemed to be a bit bigger than Richards is, but perception is a crazy animal.

    U6 stole a recruit...

    You forgot UPIKE, Georgetown, EKU, Alice Lloyd, Berea, Transylvania, Cumberlands, Campbellsville, Lindsey Wilson, Kentucky Christian and Thomas More. Oh yeah, Bellarmine and Asbury as well. Not to mention KyState, Brescia and Kentucky Wesleyan.

    I like Brad Stevens odds of winning NBA CHAMPIONSHIP......

    Boston-Golden State would be over in three games. Supposed to be four, but the three would be such unbelievable blowouts, the fourth would be called for mercy. A fully healthy Boston (Kyrie+Hayward) would have a chance. But not this incarnation. I've been wrong before, so I'll probably be wrong...

    Took one program from the ashes to the penthouse and then took another from the ceiling to the ashes.

    Best dunk and/or best ‘dunker’ at Kentucky?

    Not necessarily the best or anything, but one of my favorites was Perry Stevenson dunkin all over UNLV in the NIT

    Luke Maye entering, no agent

    I thought he was a senior the year he walked and hit that shot to put UK out in the elite 8? Must have a special carolina exemption.

    Keldon Johnson struggling with his shot.

    I agree. I have read and heard that every single one of them talks so much trash. Swaggy Cal might not leave the sidelines this year.

    Quade’s Back

    Pleased to hear Quade is coming back. Yeah, UK has more guards than you can shake a stick at, but I don't think having an experienced guard on your team is grounds for sadness. Guy averaged close to 10 while playing with a kid who became an absolute star right before our eyes in Shai...

    Kyle Tucker: scout on UK players testing the draft

    Very good point. AD has had to put on a lot of muscle to get where he is. The kid is an absolute beast. Can't wait to see him and Cousins get back together next year and absolutely tear stuff up.
