anthony-davismichael-gilchrist1marquis-teaguewiltjer_kyle_150_7_31 The families of UK's four All-American signees, Anthony Davis, Michael Gilchrist, Marquis Teague and Kyle Wiltjer, have issued a joint statement regarding their decision to play in the McDonald's All-American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic instead of appearing in Louisville for the local high school all-star exhibition.  Here is the statement:
"We are honored that our sons have been considered for so many prestigious all-star games but the NCAA only allows them to play in two such events. Anthony, Michael, Marquis and Kyle will fulfill their lifelong dreams of playing in the McDonald's All-American game and the Jordan Brand Classic."
Take that, Bozich!
