Some feedback from the Father-Son basketball camp

by Truzenzuzex on Jun 28, 2008 2:22 PM EDT in Basketball

A Cats Pause poster has provided a few tidbits of his perception of the Father-Son basketball camp at UK this weekend:

Pilgrim was impressive.
Liggins was there, played pretty well.
Porter and Pilgrim both bench 185# 19 times, best on the team.
Josh Harrellson can shoot and moves well
Meeks and Harris both played very well, Meeks wasn't limping.
Patterson wasn't there, he was at a family reunion.
Miller played the 2, and played OK.
Carter did not play well.
Stewart did fine.

There are some reasons for optimism in there, I think. I can't vouch for the accuracy of this, just passing on some observations.

Apparently, no report on Stevenson, Galloway, or any of the walk-ons. I'm not sure why.

Thanks for the observations...

As I don’t belong to any pay sites and I know you can only post so much here.

Obs are good though.

MIller at the 2 would be a very welcome and pleasant surpise.

Another Perspective

I was there at the same event and saw things a bit differently. First off, it’s just a pick-up game where players are mostly just going through the motions so any eval isn’t worth much in this setting. My takes:

1) Harrelson has this Brendan Frazer thing going on. Very jovial, not a good shot.
2) AJ Steward takes the back seat to no one on the comedy charts. If there’s a joke to be made, AJ wants to make it.
3) Liggins was there and looked very unsure of things. Even in the game he didn’t show much. Not what I’d expect from a 5-star recruit, but again, it’s just some pick-up games.
4) Pilgrim is a physical specimen.
5) Matt Scherbenske is the nicest guy on the team. I really like several of the guys (Ramon, Porter, etc.) but Matt is sincere and a good guy.
6) Meeks didn’t move well until the pick-up game started them blazed around. I was worried he was coming back too quick. We need him next year!
7) Patterson was at a family reunion, Coury was also gone, no summer school for the best student on the team. Needless to say, M. Williams wasn’t there.
8) Carter said his should was 100%.
9) Stevenson has improved his outside shooting, IMO.

It’s a great event that I would recommend to anyone who’s a Kentucky fan.

I Wasn't There (Obviously)

But Liggins will start at PG if he is elgible. He’s that good. Very few frosh PG starters at UK over the years. He was the best player in Chicago during 2007 season (before he transferred to Las Vegas prep school for 2008 season).

Patterson isn’t playing basketball yet, still recovering from his injury and rehabilitation.

LOL! I heard Miller's father lit 'em up! I wonder if he has any eligibility left? :)

You were right, you don't know him that well

I went to highschool here in Lexington with Scherbenske and I know him pretty well at UK too and I can tell you he is a world class guy. You won’t find a nicer or (funnier) guy on campus, even beyond that I can vouch for his character as well.

Thats cool

Those were just my impressions of him but they were fleeting. If you know him pretty well I’ll take your word for it.

DEEETROIT BASKETBALLL!!!

Tell me more...

...about this Father-Son camp. I have two boys, ages 7 and 13, who love the Cats and would die for a chance to visit the campus and play ball with some of the players (we live in Florida).
