We really haven't had a player like Bam in a long time. Not that we haven't had talented frontcourt players. With Cal's recruiting, we always have great Bigs. The difference with Bam is he's the type of big who can motivate others with one exciting big play. With his nonstop motor, when he attempts to rip off the rim with one of his putback jams, Rupp Arena will come alive. We have had exciting players under Cal, but all of those guys did it in a different way than Bam will. When you have a big like Bam, one play can change the entire mood of the game. Our other players will feed off the excitment and THUNDER Bam will bring to Rupp Arena. I wanted this kid the minute i saw his mixtape, but after being told no way to lure him away from NcState, i kind of gave up that fantasy and then he commits to Kentucky. He will compete for being the best college basketball player in the entire country and imo will end up going #1 in the NBA draft. As weird as it is for me to say, i also believe Bam will be a better Nba player than college. He is built for today's Nba game. Once gms get a look at what he does to college frontcourt, his upside will be too much to pass on after the season is over. Let's all hope he doesn't see the same style of D as Randle. If any big in the country goes one on one with Bam, we score. If they start to bring double teams, let's hope Bam is a better passer than Randle. No disrespect meant towards Randle. That kid was fouled more than any player and not called during Kentucky's entire history. I know thats a big statement, but if you went back and watched every game, i bet it's the truth.
