The kid transferred from a small high school to a big 4A school to play against and with the “big boys” last season. Was an unknown to many including the folks that “rate/rank” high school players. Only had 1 year of big time high school ball.

NC State wants him to walk-on, out of scholarships. UNC wants him to wait until the Lawson “situation” works out one way or another.

Much better than a “one star,” much better!

Bobby Perry (who is from Durham, I believe) who actually brought this guy to the attention of the UK staff. Supposedly, he is really big on him and told the UK folks that they needed to go check this guy out.

Ramel Bradley has seen (or maybe played against in pickup games) the Galloway kid and said that he is good. The source I read said that Ramel is not one to just heap praise on everybody.

Liggins is better. He was iffy to qualify all along. Hope he does.

UK has had McCarty, Anthony Dent, and Estill fail to qualify in years past. 2 of the 3 attended UK anyway.

An elite program like UK does not need to be dickering around with kids who can’t qualify academically. Waiting for Liggins - who is 20 years old - to qualify has prevented us from signing some real players. We need stability in our program.

Well worth it. Solid Top 25 player.

Like McCarty. UK waited a year for him.

Ditto Reggie Hanson. Sat out 1987.

How we can find a link to the interview with McLintock that was done on UK Sportsradio?

HI, MY NAME IS..

Legends are being born these days on the ‘net thanks to the evolution of YouTube. And when the clips of North Carolina guard Hunter McClintock hit the world wide web, fans were buzzing.

On Friday night, the Dot Com phenom went to work in real life for Southeast Elite. Playing his first game with a new team, the class of 2008 guard steadied the ship for the Alabama-based club and put on an entertaining show.

The Durham, N.C. product scored 16 points, including three three-pointers and showed off some fancy ball-handling. His basketball IQ is high and his shot was good, albeit slow out of his hands, when it needed to be.

McClintock is said he will take part in Kentucky’s elite camp next week in Lexington. He is hoping to earn a late offer from the Wildcats.

“Things are getting pretty serious with them,” the 6-foot-1 guard said. “I’d like to get up there for their elite camp and go from there.”

If UK offers, he admitted it would be hard to turn a chance to play at that level down. Gonzaga and Air Force were also in the picture, he said.

Why is no one mentioning Darius Miller. We blew it with Chris Lofton. Miller was the star of the 2008 Kentucky Sweet 16 Tournament winner—Mason County. He is not normal guard size, but he can move. Plus he doesn’t seem to have trouble with his “ballroom dancing” tests. I know Liggins is good but we actually have a team if Patterson is well and Stevenson continues where he left off. Meeks should be around as well. Jasper will probably transfer but we will survive and be better than next year. Josh Harrelson is going to make a big difference.

Results available in 2 to 4 weeks.

I’d not put any stock in it (yet).
