A lot has been made of University Of Kentucky basketball this off-season, the huge coaching move whether it is Tubby Smith leaving or Billy Gillispie getting hired after Donovan said no to the Cats.   And in recruiting though Alex Legion out of Oak Hill has committed to Kentucky, Jai Lucas and Patrick Patterson are still weighing in on their options.

    You may ask me; well what other news was there to report?  Well I thought one of the biggest stories that didn't get reported is that my favorite current Wildcat Jodie Meeks was staying and not transferring.  This kid has great future as a Wildcat, he hustles for every loose ball, plays skin tight defense, hits three pointers, and often is the first person back on defense.  In games where he got a lot of playing time, Meeks was a spark igniting big Kentucky runs or scoring ten plus points.   And this player is just going to get better and better.     I am the only one that would be surprised if Meeks isAll SEC in some respect next year?   And hopefully when he enters his senior season we can have an all American campaign that says: "All He Does Is Win".

This was a similar ad campaign to the one of my favorite UK player in my lifetime Chuck Hayes, and that is exactly who Jodie reminds me of.  He gives everything he has every second that he is on the floor.   The scary thing is that he is only going to get better.
