I can’t watch vids of T-Mac, Green, Kemp, Nowitski and Larry Bird saying they wanted or were going to Kentucky lol

I cant either. These kind of sting too much. Guys like Bird, T-Mac and Dirk would have each, very likely, taken Kentucky to the next level. Granted Tmac might have been on the 98 title team, but if he stayed for an extra year.

You add those 3 guys and Kentucky might be tied with UCLA.

You really have to do a lot of imagining for all these what ifs to change Kentucky history.

Larry Bird got homesick and transferred from Indiana without playing a game. Because Bloomington in the 70s was too big!? That's probably like Hopkinville today.I doubt being farther away in Lexington helps.

Draymond Green wasnt good until his senior year, and we won the championship that year anyway.

Lamar Odom couldn't get in to UNLV! Sophomore year he's with Padgett and Tayshaun.

Kemp? Assuming he's freshman eligible, lot of seniors that first season he plays behind. Then comes the dark years he can't do much with

Nowitzki maybe, but takes a couple years to contribute. He was homesick and a soft power forward who would play behind Padgett for two years.

McGrady, if he stays a second year would fill a big hole on 99 team needing scoring from the 2. That's the one.
