It's all about expectations. UL has already far surpassed theirs, a feat which is impossible for UK--the Cats can only *meet* their expectations with a national title.
If you are talking about thsi years draft then I agree, but I expect Behannan and Deing to be first round picks next season and if Blackshear ever gets healthy he is a definite first round pick. I think a lot of fans don't realize how good Blackshear was before he got hurt. He was a McDonald's All-American last season and the Chicago Player of the year over Anthony Davis.
