Funny, Part 2

We will see. I'll take my money and bet that the team Vegas picks to win now won't. Uconn wasn't even ranked preseason last year. It's all a bunch of bs hype until they get out there and play. For all you know, all of uks freshmen could go bust. We will see what happens when they get on the floor.

Yep all those Freshmen could come up bust. Last I checked Miller, Lamb and Jones were not Freshmen. That is 3 returning players that averaged 10, 12 and 14 points respectively from last years Final Four team. First year Calipari is starting the year with 36 dependable points per game in the bag. Throw in Davis, Gilchrist, Teague and Wiltjer plus Beckham after the fall semester and I'll take my money and put it on The Big Blue

Anthony Davis is picked to be the next #1 NBA Draft Pick,I'm sure he'll be a bust

I mean after all these "freshmen" have been playing pickup games against NBA Players and holding their own,even impressing.

On the other hand UL lost Preston Knowles and Terrence Jennings while adding 5 freshmen of which only 2 are highly ranked,but nearly as highly rated as UK's recruits.Uk is fresh off a Final Four,UL is fresh off a 1st round loss to an Ohio Valley Conference school,"Morehead State".

All of UK's Freshmen could have went straight to the NBA if they were allowed,I doubt if any of UL's could at this point.

Easy now Big Fella, not sure they can handle 2 UK fans telling it exactly like it is plus you used way too many FACTS in your post and have to go back and Edit out a few of them

The exact same could be said for Samardo Samuels.... How did that work out? My point is you never really know what you have until they suit up and play.

Thats a good start! Lamb and Jones I see as a huge benefit. Miller has one move that I think is money and that is when he drives on smaller guards and some small forwards and stops and pops his little one handed jumper. He seems so timid at times....maybe this is his year to get it into his head that he is the man.

This is a link to the 2012 NBA Mock Draft,I think you'll find 6 UK players listed in the Top 20 of the 1st round,the only UL player listed at all is the better than John Wall (note Sarcasm) Peyton Siva at #51,only took 4 years to get a 2nd round pick,

at Kentucky =#3 Anthony Davis,#7 Marquis Teague,#14 Doron Lamb,#15 Michael Gilchrist,#19 Terrence Jones >
at Louisville = #51 Peyton Siva

It is a very good start. If the 3 of them average 3 more points each per game, that is 45 and if the Freshmen add another 40 total, you have 85 per game. With last years Freshmen averaging 44 and the year before 45, then 40 is realistic. Plus, I think Lamb will improve more than 3 points per game

At +600 and +750 I'd put down 100 on each and let it ride..........

Personally I think Teague is overhyped coming out of high school...He's quick as lightening but I think he'll have to develop into a TRUE point guard....Haven't been overly impressed with Davis either...He's got the length and ability but he's too slim to bang in the SEC...Although he will go pro after 1 year, it's a shame because he could be a beast after a year of hitting the weights and the calories...Gilchrist is the REAL DEAL...He reminds me a lot of what all of us UK fans think Miller should be...He does everything well...He does one thing that UK is going to struggle with this year and that's rebounding...T Jones will have to man up and carry the bulk of the rebounds for them to have any kind of shot....Wiltjer will be another bust for the big blue

Elnut, who is the Beckham you're talking about...I havent heard anything on him

Twany Beckham transferred from Mississippi State. 6-5 point guard out of Louisville Ballard will be a Junior but can't play until after the fall semester because he transferred half way thru the year and must sit a full year. Injury plagued career at MSU. Should give Teague a couple of minutes relief at the point when he is eligible. Good friends with Rajon Rondo, by the way, if he only could bring some of Rondo's skills with him

This is so STUPID. people fighting/trashin/name calling, getting mad that someone dosent like UK/UL of Bugtussel U. I commend people for supporting the teams of their choice. but the aruging, bacbitin and childish behavior from grown men, this is FUNNY, that is what is funny, just watchin some get all bent outa shape cause someone called your team someting, or say they ****,or whaterever. Funny thing, these teams/coaches/etc they dont care about you as much as you do about them. UL/UK/ we have more schools than them in KY. Funny how true. It is funny.

Well, here's my take on this. When I come on the board, which I do almost daily, I click on "new post". And then Wow, what a garden variety of topics to select from. I don't only see the post title, but also the board on which it is posted! One of the first I chose to open is the "Off Topics", well that was in the past! Some of the "rants" have, and continue to go "over board", and I have recently learned to just skip over them. With that being said, I'm thinking a separate board for "sports" would be helpful.

Might also be helpful if there was a separate board for "politics". I, as well as others on the board, have a hate/love with the subject. Will be interesting to read the postings if the GOP regains the Pres, Senate, and maintains the House.......Suspect there will be nothing to talk about..??

Thanks for listening,
