"DMV hasn't really worked out for any of the guys who have been at UK. Will Jackson, Kobie Walker, Greenwood are all gone. Maybe Jamar Watson, Josh Paschal and Naasir Watkins will have better luck."

"I always thought he was way more skilled than Bam and ultimately can be the better player but Bam was just more ready physically. SKJ is bigger and longer than Bam and has more offensive game. The game seemed to move to quick for him. If he can catch up to the speed than I'd love to see him playing alongside Bamba in the post next year."

"UK has never finished in the top 10 in the directors cup. I think 11 in 2014 was their highest ever. They actually have a pretty good shot at finishing top 5 as track & field, baseball, softball, tennis and golf all should getting us points coming up."

"must occur" for you. The NBA doesn't care about you or the NCAA. They're sitting pretty on a ton of TV money, decade high ratings, and a new crop of superstars, most of whom spent one year in college. They get to 1 year to see them in college and 4 years of dirt cheap evaluation time before they have to commit big money. WHY would they change? To make you happy?"
