    "Kentucky hasn't been consistently historically great?"

    Kentucky is #1 all-time #3 last 50 years #6 last 25 #7 last 20 #9 last 15 #17 last 10 #16 last 5 You can feel many ways about that. Best football comp is Notre Dame with Nebraska trajectory.

    grady’s scoring ability

    Polished and mature game. Body control and footwork keep his shot motion consistent, similar to Jodie Meeks. Ceiling as a scorer not as high as Meeks but his floor is likely higher than Malik Monk. Maybe a happy medium and better comparison is late season Brandon Knight?

    So is the LeBron fall-out rumor with UK/Cal true?

    LeBron doesn't care about Coach K vs Coach Cal, Duke vs Kentucky, Nike money, recruiting, or anything. He likes Coach K and likes what he said. I like what he said, too. He should protect his kids from fans that over hype and over scrutinize, forgetting they're just kids. I would want my son...

    Only 3 of last 11 NCAA Champions had a top 10 Freshman on Roster

    A % within the % doesn't refute the point, but I understand your argument. To counter, using 10/350 assumes all 350 teams have a realistic shot at winning the title, and since my argument was in regard to NCAA Champions, a better reference would be 10/28, because only top-28 seeds have won a...

    Only 3 of last 11 NCAA Champions had a top 10 Freshman on Roster

    Isn't 8/11 better? Another way to look at it: 27% of NCAA Champions have at least one top-10 freshman. 73% of NCAA Champions have ZERO top-10 freshman. All of these 11 champions faced the randomness of the tournament, and all built their rosters differently. The teams that didn't rely on...
