,..playing for Kentucky next year.
Willie Cauly Stein (Junior), Dakari Johnson (Sophomore) Carl Towns (Freshman)
Not to mention Alex Poythress and Marcus Lee coming back for their junior and sophomore years (respectively).
An uppity point guard could make this years national runner up look like a baby team.
Dominique Hawkins?
Next year's team is going to be downright obnoxious,...even by Kentucky standards.
UK�s front seven next season: 7�0, 7�0, 7�0, 6�10, 6�9, 6�9, 6�8.

They're staying.
That's the point of my post.
Willie Cauly Stein, Dakari Johnson, and Alex Poythress have already said they're coming back.

Me too. But, yes, it's a great thing someone invented a game that we can ultimately finance by buying stuff advertised on TV which will allow overgrown knuckle draggers to make hundreds of millions by amazing folks with their ability to pitch a ball through a hoop.

Dakari Johnson coming back is a real surprise.
I saw his potential early.
He's an old school, wide body, back to the basket center.
He was still a baby this year,..the youngest member of the team.
He comes from a good family,..is a damn hard worker, and is smart.
Both he and Willie would have gone first round in the NBA draft.
If *only* Kentucky can get their point guards to feed the post next year, we'll get to see some basketball like it was played in the old days,..except with 21st century athleticism.
This could be fun,...Mike Phillips and Rick Robey type fun.

No worries, doc. It's a sure bet they aren't going to sock the money back into some accounts---it'll all go back into circulation as soon as they get their hands on it. In a few years most of them will have to declare bankruptcy.

I thought it about snakes too...as far as basketball goes, it keeps them off the streets and out of taxpayer maintained prisons

I'm not even a Kentucky fan, and that team is going to be damned impressive next year (at least).
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

In a few years most of them will have to declare bankruptcy. Some will,...but financial advice is a part of the Kentucky program. That's one of the things that makes it different. Kids with a talent for the game come to Kentucky to major in basketball. Teaching them how to handle money (and women) is all part of the curriculim.

Say what you want about Calipari,...and I'll admit,..he's a bit slick.
,..but he looks out for those kids he recruits,..and they worship the ground he walks on because of that.
That's the secret to his success.

Attempting to physically intimidate Kentucky players has historically been a bad idea.
It definitely will be next year.

Wait till you see Trey Lyles play. All Hoosiers will rue the day that young man de-committed from IU.
