Tom Leach's thoughts on the first UK practice under Coach Cal.
Here's a taste:
"Watching the practice, I got the notion that his system is kinda like football's west coast offense. It's not about designed plays but instead is based on the quarterback and his receivers reading and reacting to how the defense plays them. If the point guard, i.e. quarterback, can take it to the hole, that's the first option but he if reads that he can't get there, then he kicks it off to the best option versus how the defense is reacting to the attack. There was a lot of talk about staring down a defender when the dribbler is driving upcourt, to get him back on his heels and enable you to blow past him. And there was plenty of coaching on making the simple play rather than worrying about what will get you on Sportscenter."

Watching...
the signing day special and Cal just said he’d like to bring in 3 more guys. I’m not sure if he’s counting Cousins in that or not.
The Spork, I'm two things in one.

Maybe...
but I was hoping he was including Dennis.

Maybe he was?
And he was only counting scholarship players?
But I think something this tells us is that he’s counting on having at least two or three scholarships open. With everyone and their mother assuming that Williams is not on scholarship for next year we’re at 13 for next year. Who are the 2 or 3 leaving?
And for the record I think Dennis would be a nice add as well.

Harrellson...
is gone, I think. Stewart and Liggins reportedly have grade issues, Matt Jones said that so make of it what you want.
Right now, everything is speculation, but with the final practice being held today, we should know shortly.

I like what I read in the Leach blog
And Cal seems to get an “A” everytime.So far
Media relations A
Recruiting A
Boosters A
DDM A
Calipari had a great resume coming in,but he really seems to handle every aspect of this job.I am really impressed with him.

Great On PTI
Of course Wilbon wasn’t on, Bob Ryan substituting. Love to have Patterson and Meeks back, Patterson play like a guard except when game is on the line, Meeks take it to the hole for more FT’s, but if they can do something great for themselves and families go for it. Need to rebuild UK brand to where it was in 90’s. Women age 70 find him attractive, Pastner magnet for younger. Has not talked to Ashley Judd but did speak with Kenny Perry and could commiserate, Perry will be behind bench some.
