Thanks for that post, 1622 ! That's not at all surprising, of course .,.. but it's still very gratifying to know that he actually said it ! ! !
Go 'Cats ! ! !

Another reason I’m glad a former occupant jumped into the hog trough.
Glad the kid is getting a chance to be a Cat, he will be great at KY.

Sounds like Cal didn’t recruit him at all, I’d assume he heard Pope would be open to having him here, as he should have probably been already. Good to have a couple of talented Kentucky boys on the roster again. Especially 2 years in a row that should contribute.

Yeah, from everything he said he'd have picked UK if he'd had an offer. Since tfg never used all 13 scholarships it doesn't seem smart to me.

Players like this burned Kentucky the past few years. I was surprised when Joey Hart committed. Not from from Ky, but a sharpshooter. knew he would never get anything more than mop up minutes under Cal. He didn't even get that.

What an OUTSTANDING young man. He's so mature, and respectful. Pope is going to love working with this kid.

Same thing I got out of the interview the kid is an outstanding young gentleman. He’s going to kill it on the court playing for the program he grew up idolizing. He’s just like us and his coach……. Is it OCTOBER YET!!!

He represents the mindset that we need players to have at Kentucky. He didn't say anything about the coach, certainly not saying anything wrong with the coach. He talked about Kentucky. I don't necessarily expect non-UK kids to feel the same way about UK as in-state guys, but I do expect for the university to mean more to them than just a pitstop on the way to the NBA,

It is an honor and a dream for many KY kids, to grow up and play ball.

To make a system that marginalizes those few who could play anywhere and always pick out of state players is just a little bit disheartening. I hope we can build teams that compete with the 5stars....because we are not going back, that has become history. It's a hard lesson to run after the 5stars and promise everything under the sun...only to have fans upset at early exits in the tourney and winnable games that slip through as losses on the season.

We used to camp out at Memorial EVERY year for Madness tickets. Stopped doing it when I had kids, but may have to resume that little tradition.

It was so much better in Memorial. I remember being there the year Tayshaun/Jules/Blevins were freshmen and Padgett/Turner/Evans were seniors. I was 16 or 17 and had my jaw wired shut but I didn’t care. Will never forget walking down the concourse after it was over with Queen’s “We are the Champions” blaring over the old sound system.

Every one of our title teams, all 8. Have had a Kentucky boy playing a role in some way. Either a stater or key bench player. Rupp's 4 title winners were pretty much all from KY. I think 1 or 2 Ohio guys were on the last team. 1978 Givens and Lee. 1996 Epps. 1998 Mills and Padgett. 2012 Miller.
