WE ARE.......mizzou.....{sigh}

TomBarndtsTwin · 10-31-2013, 02:12 PM

Ahh, well.

Good luck, kid. 4 Stars don't get a lot of PT at Kentucky. He'll probably be wanting to transfer somewhere else by the end of his first season.

kepp · 10-31-2013, 02:13 PM

And Kentucky just started recruiting him in April from what I heard.

warpaint* · 10-31-2013, 02:16 PM

*Sigh*
Not surprised though.

Maybe Blackmon's not going to UK afterall.

Indiana making a late move up the board.

If Blackmon doesn't head that way, with Harrison being a likely 1 and done, UK is a pretty good spot for Booker.

Still sucks badly.

kepp · 10-31-2013, 02:28 PM

Isn't UKs offense better for the slasher-type guards and not pure shooters?

TomBarndtsTwin · 10-31-2013, 02:30 PM

Perhaps.

Would have liked to see him at Mizzou, but I don't blame him for choosing Kentucky. It is the 'mecca' of college basketball. It's where most of the top high school players want to go. No one can compete with their name brand.

It is what it is.

**Saul Good** · 10-31-2013, 02:38 PM

Not going to get worked up over a player we never had...

Pepe Silvia · 10-31-2013, 02:49 PM

From what I saw from the hoops team the other night its going to be a long year, plus we're Mizzou so even if we looked good there is 100 percent guarantee we will be a first round exit. Don't give me the bad fan shit, you know its true. I'm ****ing disgusted knowing they are forever cursed.

Captain Obvious · 10-31-2013, 02:50 PM

Hard to blame him for picking the top program in the country. He's just always going to battling out the next 1 and done that comes along every year for Kentucky. The kid probably could have run Mizzou.

Look at Selby. Think he would choose Kansas if he had it to do over?

Arguing that the college attended for 1 season is the sole influence on a player’s entire career is idiotic, but I won’t get into an argument about KU players in the MU thread.

But do you think Kyle Wiltjer would have picked Kentucky if he had it to do over?

As for your first point, here are some of the guys who saw their stock slip even with the help of the mighty Kentucky program:

- Daniel Orton – 5-star recruit, booted after hardly playing and went #29 (now in the D-League).

- Terrence Jones – #8 recruit, stayed 2 years and ended up the 18th pick.

- Marquis Teague – #5 recruit, ended up 29th pick and averaged 8 mins per game in the NBA.

- Doron Lamb – McDAA, turned into the #42 pick

- Alex Poythress – #8 recruit, skipped a weak draft to return for his sophomore year fighting for minutes on a loaded team.
