Options, options, options: A look at some potential lineups for 2009-2010
I know we’re a good three months away from the official debut of the 2009-2010 Kentucky Wildcats at Big Blue Madness, but I think I speak for a lot of UK fans when I say that I can’t stop thinking about basketball. Football is great and I love UK football and I’m looking forward to [...]
An early look at UK’s ’09-’10 rotation
When I found out once and for all that Xavier Henry would stick with his Kansas commitment, I immediately started wondering “How is John Calipari going to structure the rotation for his first team at Kentucky?” I figured that the best predictor of next year’s rotation would be the rotations for Calipari’s last few teams [...]
WKYT on UK summer pickup games
Accounts of battles between John Wall and Eric Bledsoe are already becoming the stuff of legend. Seeing the two potentially play together has to be a terrorizing prospect for opponents. The two are part of UK’s top ranked recruiting class that is now in Lexington getting accustomed to eachother and the rest of their new [...]
Jeff Goodman: UK leads for Doron Lamb
Last week after the NBA Players Association Top 100 camp, Doron Lamb took a trip to Lexington for an unofficial visit to UK. There was some thought that a commitment from the NYC native and current Oak Hill senior was forthcoming. No commitment has come, but Lamb, according to Jeff Goodman, has declared that John [...]
Waiting on Jodie Meeks
As Carl spelled out so well in covering for me while I was traveling in the home state of Eric Bledsoe and DeMarcus Cousins, we now know who will NOT have a scholarship next year. All that’s left to determine now is whether Jodie Meeks will be lucky number 13 on the roster or whether [...]
John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins on track for eligibility
In the absence of any real recruiting news, the internet has been abuzz with rumors of the possibility that John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins would have trouble qualifying to play at UK, and that John Wall may even head to Greece to play professional basketball. I don’t think there has ever been any real basis [...]
Recapping a busy week for UK: Part 4-The roster situation
OK, we’re finally to the last issue that’s on mind surrounding Kentucky Basketball as we enter June (here are Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3). Without further ado: The roster situation – We did get some news on the roster front this week, as it was officially announced that Jared Carter, Donald Williams, and [...]
Jerry Meyer addresses UK roster situation
I understand that John Calipari and Kentucky have signed one of the best recruiting classes ever. My question is, if Jodie Meeks comes back, how can the Wildcats have all those players on scholarship when only 13 scholarships are available per team? – John from Knoxville, Tenn. —– John, your question is the next question [...]
Kentucky newcomers outlook: DeMarcus Cousins and Daniel Orton
Today, we move on to the big man section of John Calipari’s Noah’s Ark of a 2009 recruiting class. In part 1 yesterday, I broke down what I expect to see out of UK’s two point guard commitments, John Wall and Eric Bledsoe. Next up are DeMarcus Cousins and Daniel Orton. DeMarcus Cousins – Cousins [...]
John Wall commits to Kentucky, Calipari
I can get used to these late night commitments! First it was DeMarcus Cousins; now, it’s the top point guard in all the land, John Wall. SLAM Magazine first reported at 1:11 am this morning that Wall had finally made his long awaited decision. Big Blue Nation has currently broken that SLAM link, but here [...]
