PrintCalipari has now signed four of the Rivals Top 50. Who will be the next player to help UK reload?
The news for today:
-
When DeMarcus Cousins was asked Thursday what he wants to buy with his first NBA paycheck, the now-former UK center steered clear of the sports car or SUV cliché.
"It's not a car," Cousins said, "'cause I don't have a license."
This is exactly the kind of thing you would expect from the Big Cuz. Man, I'm going to miss this guy.

FOXNews.com - Calipari succeeds at herding cats
But now the UK fanatics have been talked down from their ledges after the top guard in the Class of 2010, Brandon Knight (No. 2, Scout.com ) and the top player in the junior class, Michael Gilchrist, pledged their love and their futures to John Calipari on Wednesday -- the first day of the late signing period.
Let's face it: Neither would have been in Lexington had Billy Gillispie or Tubby Smith still been the coach.
Well, let's be fair here -- nobody knows. But it is unlikely that either of those two coaches would have landed Knight or Gilchrist, as much for the fact that they would not seriously recruit them as anything else. Gillispie might have recruited them, but with all due respect to the former coach, he didn't win many battles with Calipari.

University’s integrity lies within enforcement of its policies : The Kentucky Kernel
For a university that just ran the last guy out of town for his personal issues, it is time to take a firm stance on the matter of alcoholism. They hold their players to a standard — there would be an automatic suspension for any player who received a DUI — so why should coach be any different?
I think this is right. If UK starts treating coaches different than players, that way lies the slippery slope to perdition.
More after the jump.

Cousins on UK: 'I could stay here forever' | KentuckySports.com
"It's the love here," Cousins said. "I could stay here forever. ... I wanted to stay to help the team keep winning. It was a hard decision."
This is not just lip service. I strongly believe that Cousins agonized over this a bit. He really wanted to return. But given his position in the draft, there is just no way.
-
"That’s a tough miss for him," Rivals.com recruiting analyst Jerry Meyer said of Donovan. "It’s sort of a double-edged pain there. One, you’re gonna have to coach against (Knight) in the SEC, and number two, you’re sort of left high and dry without a quality point coming in."
Do you remember, dear Kentucky fan, how we used to sweat Donovan's recruiting? How does it feel now that the shoe is on the other foot?

Greg Hansen: Here's a way UA will lose - and still win
Kentucky coach John Calipari defended his system of recruiting one-year players by telling reporters, "If you don't recruit them, you'll play against them."
And yet it didn't help Calipari's team avoid elimination against West Virginia, which didn't have a freshman among its nine leading players.
I'll take the older guys. You take Selby and Lamb.
As if you get a choice. Sorry, Arizona, but this sort of commentary looks exactly like what it is -- sour grapes.

JacketsOnline.com - Meyer's Mailbag: Miller in UK's future?
The fact is that UK coach John Calipari is likely to load up with talent every year. Just like Eric Bledsoe understood, the attraction of going to Kentucky right now is the opportunity to compete on a daily basis against other top talent. John Wall didn't scare away Bledsoe. Instead, he attracted Bledsoe because of the opportunity to compete in practice and then team up in game action.
The thought of Gilchrist and Quincy Miller playing together is thrilling. I hope it happens.

Marquis Teague, a top Class of 2011 target for Lousiville and Kentucky, has been ranked as the No. 1 prospect in Indiana by Rick Bolus' High Potential Recruiting Service.
Okay, how's this sound -- Marquis Teague at the point, Gilchrist at the 3 and Quincy Miller at the 4 (or vice versa).
Plug in two other players, and you have the DDM Dream Team.

Selby and Lamb's decisions left UCLA-bound center Josh Smith as the only future Pac-10 player to participate in either the McDonald's All-American or Jordan Brand Classic games - unless Portland's undecided Terrance Jones chooses Washington.

I think Tipton gets this pretty much spot on.

The Day - UConn suffers recruiting losses | News from southeastern Connecticut
UConn suffered two more recruiting losses Saturday when prime targets Doron Lamb and Josh Selby picked other programs.
As Jim Calhoun is one of my least favorite coaches and UConn is one of my least favorite teams, I must admit to engaging in some schadenfreude here.

John Clay: One-and-done not a mantra | KentuckySports.com
But how many people saw Bledsoe bolting after one year? If memory serves, most experts figured EB would show his off-guard skills, then assume point duties in 2010-11 after Wall made the expected bolt for the Association. Instead, Bledsoe has decided to strike while the iron is hot.
And Daniel Orton? Please. He wasn't even a Calipari recruit. He was a re-recruit, first inked by Billy Gillipsie, then persuaded to stay in the fold by Calipari. Orton didn't even start, much less score much, if at all most games. He has that NBA body, however. He figures to be at least a first-round pick by draft night.
This class was an outlier, and there was only one known "one and done" when they committed.

Lots of good reading Tru
Thanks for all the work rounding up these articles for us. It looks like Cal will get us reloaded and back in the game. I don’t see how we could be as good or better. But I said we needed a year last year. What do I know? These young players today are not our “Freshman” of old!
Happy Days are here again The sky is all ways BLUE again Happy days are here again !
Did anyone see another Wall or Cousins playing in the game?
I have be correctly accused of having a 'football fetish'. You know, someone who doesn't think football is the warm up sport to basketball season.
There were several big time players in there Paris.....Selby had arguably the best game in the first half, but Knight was
the star in the second…..they both posses amazing ability to see the court…..of course they were playing with all superstars…..
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
but was there anyone who showed their ability at the same time of their career? I really don’t know. I did see a couple of comments that playing for Cal is good for one and dones. I don’t remember who it was but one of the young men said Cal himself pronounced him as one of these types.
I have be correctly accused of having a 'football fetish'. You know, someone who doesn't think football is the warm up sport to basketball season.
Saw no one of Cousins Caliber....Saw a couple of possible Evan Turner caliber players
one of which was Selby….Lamb played a great game and so did Knight…..Knight was not Wall in the sense that he “took over the game” but he was very, VERY good.
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
I didn't see anyone to their level
But then again… I don’t know that I’ve seen a player at their level so young for the last 10 years either.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
Strange.
No love for the #1 player according to some? Harrison Barnes really impressed me.
I didnt see the whole game, but Knight did not do much except for some nice assists and one drive right by Selby.
Barnes is really good.
One and done if he wants to be, most likely. He has a lot of game.
A Sea of Blue -- Kentucky Sports for the Discerning Fan
Let's see now,
a point guard who passes up the traditional hot dogging in these exposition games to actually demonstrate some team skills such as passing to set up a score. What was Cal thinking when he signed this clown!
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
he had some mistakes too wineman......a few TO's.....but nothing that would concern anyone.....
but this is not the type of game to evaluate talent in……this looked more like a western than a college basketball game…..unless you played for Loyola Marymount…..
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
Cousin's Special
Cousins has made my list of all-time favorite players. The fact I am only going to get to see him in a UK jeresey one year is hard to deal with. I look at the one and dones in terms of losing young men I come to like so much not so much the harm it does or does not cause to the program. I will of course have the chance to follow Big Cuz in the pros and I am certain he will be a force very soon. Still, it is fun to dream about the team if he were to have stayed one more year.
thanks for the interesting links, tru
yeah, I’m gonna miss that crazy Cuz. Hearing all that smack about him before he got here made me apprehensive about recruiting him. I wish he, and the rest, could have stayed but thats life. As far as the team is concerned, I think we’ll miss Cuz the most. BK/Lamb MAY not be as good as Wall/Bledsoe, but they’ll be good enough. Millar is a constant. I see Kanter as taking PPat’s spot, basically PF but can fill in at 5 at times. That means we still have to cover Cuz’s spot. We need another dominating big. Last yr. we were blessed with the luxury of 3 bigs we could rotate and wear teams down.
What do you make of BD losing the top recruits? Has he just lost his touch? Although, I think UF will be much better next yr.
UT looks better next yr, too.
Can't replace Cuz.
First, there’s just not that kind of talent available every year. He’s a freak but I’m sure glad he was our freak. Without replacing Cousins we could just snag a good power forward (or two) and next year really enjoy the true DDMO instead of the hybrid version run this year.
TERRANCE JONES
he can put up the same number’s or better just not the same dominant way cousins did it

BD and recruits
As we were constantly reminded just a few short years ago… recruiting is not a game of “how good were you 5 years ago” its a game of “how good were you last year.” Florida is hardly a blip on the radar for most of these kids.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
Magic internet thingy
all charged and ready to keep on going. Thanks Tru.
I think the media might miss Big Cuz more than we will. He made their jobs a lot more fun, I am sure. And I think he will be back to visit whenever he is able. He genuinely loved us.
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
Thanks as always Tru for the round up....lot's
of good links there!! As we’ve learned in a little over a year….Cal certainly keeps things interesting. It’s still hurts that we didn’t win that championship…..especially with Duke winning…..but at least we know that UK’s back knocking on the door each year.
I’m a big Tiger fan and while he doesn’t win every tournament….he’s always there in the mix and what more can we ask of Cal than he’s doing. Keep knocking on the door or just kick the damn thing in!!
You can't fix "stupid"!
Pac-10 comment
What happened to the Pac-10? That league was horrible last year, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be any better next year.
We’re all talking Kentucky, but how does the SEC as a whole look next year?
SEC will be better, if for no other reason than the Coaching Carousel will not be running
so hard……Fox and Grant,Calipari and the others have had time to settle in…..the Auburn situation will improve with time as well. Player wise, there was not a lot of movement upward. The transfer from Rutgers is going to help Florida in 2011, but that’s a year away. ALL of the top tier ( top 50)talent that has gone to the SEC thus far has come to UK.
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
You think it will be better?
I agree that the carousel slowing down will help, but there were a lot of player losses from the top teams last year. Not even looking at us, UT has to replace its best player and point guard, Vandy has to replace its best player (not Ogilvey, but Beal the PG) and Ogilvey. Florida may lose its best interior player and Ms St. loses Varnardo (thankfully). That’s a lot of turnover for the conference to get better.
I cannot see Grant and Fox not stepping up their games somewhat......
Vandy is always going to be Vandy…..they are a lot like Duke in that sense…..Florida is the team who will be hurting unless they start getting some really quality talent in there……I do not understand for the life of me what has happened to Donovan and his recruiting….
Overall, I guess the SEC could slip a little, but I just dont think some of these coaches can afford to fall off any…..too much is at stake…..
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
I think SEC will be about the same, really. The East will drop a little
And the West should be a little better. I don’t see UK winning 35 games next year, do you? UT, Vandy, UF should all be a shade under this year and USC may drop a bit also.
Bama should improve, maybe Auburn as well with new coach and facilities, the Mississippi schools will tail off, but LSU should bounce up a bit. Who can tell about Arkansas?
With us winning 35????....I dont know.....I think we could still win 31-33 games
and everyone else improve and it would be considered a better year……but who knows???
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
"Vandy is always going to be Vandy"... And you're comparing them to Duke???
What Vandy are you talking about? Because in my mind, Vandy will always be the program that didn’t win a game at Rupp Arena until 2006.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
Vandy has been on a very even pace the last 5-19 years.....We dipped from 2006-2009
so they won one…..things will go back to same old same old….very soon…..
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
Two ?, Two Answers
PAC-10: Blame it on Earth’s rotation or time zones. PAC-10, ergo players, get minimum TV exposure and today’s stars require/desire exhibition.
SEC: Approximately same as last year with West a tad better — 4/5 teams in Dance.

UofL to play Butler in opening game at KFC Yum Arena
Rick didn’t get Duke… so he got the next best thing.
I suppose it gets a good bit of notoriety. Everyone will want to see if Butler is as good as they were this year. Personally, I think UofL can take ’em.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
I don't know,
let a bulldog loose in the chicken house and it could get ugly.

Yum (I refuse to use the exclamation point)
Slightly off-topic, but I’ve never understood why Yum (nee Tricon) is branding themselves as they are (the Derby, Cardinals Arena, etc.). Nobody cares that this company exists that combines 3 different fast food franchises. “The Kentucky Derby presented by Yum Brands” makes no sense; “The Kentucky Derby presented by Long John Silver’s” is at least an arguable marketing proposition.
When I am king, this is #354 on the list of things I will fix in this world.
I'm officially declaring myself eligible for the 2010 NBA draft.
Nobody cares because nobody knows.
That’s what advertising is suppose to get…knowledge of the name, brand, and company. You’re making the case for Yum! to spend the money. It’s already working, thanks to your post.
'..when they bring a knife, you bring a gun...that's the Chicago way..'
by HozeKing on Apr 19, 2010 6:10 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Bah
It’s management hubris, nothing more, nothing less. Nobody ever goes to a Yum restaurant – they go to the individual brand. Thus, it is a wasted marketing expense (inefficient at best). But it sure does get the executives a nice luxury box. . . .
I'm officially declaring myself eligible for the 2010 NBA draft.
Ever hear of the stock market?
YUM is the NYSE symbol. Investors consider the comany they don’t consider an individual brand They don’t consider investing in KFC or Pizza Hut. It’s more than about taco’s and clean bathrooms. However, thank you for the compliment on the luxury boxes. As a UK fan and Rupp attendee, I am surprised you even knew these type of things existed.
'..when they bring a knife, you bring a gun...that's the Chicago way..'
Sorry you were so easily offended.
It was a clever dig at Rupp Arena’s age and absence of corporate suites. I think that’s only fair given the recent comments about the new jewel on the river. It’s kind of like someone driving a a 1976 Chevy making fun of a Saleen because of it’s name.
'..when they bring a knife, you bring a gun...that's the Chicago way..'
More like a 76' Mercedes
Still latrger and more prestigious than the “Chicken Palace”.
"all the way"
So is the Roman Colosseum...
…but I wouldn’t want to play there or sit there, either.
'..when they bring a knife, you bring a gun...that's the Chicago way..'
YUM is a big company Hoze.....that is what the investors see, but honestly, if I didnt have the history of being involved with the
restaurant business, I would have had to look it up. I mean if that is indeed what they were going for, thats great……but the name just doesnt do anything to make anyone feel like it is something great…….Its kind of like the Lakers…..when they play in the Forum…..that has some style to it……when they play in the Staples Center….ahhhh…..ok….
The Palace of Auburn Hills (great name), The Hump, The Pit,Cameron Indoor Arena even sounds better than the Yum Center, or Arena, or whatever…..make them use some style …..The Reds even managed to get something catchy out if theirs…..Great American Ball Park has a ring to it…..Rupp Arena doesnt get much for style……but it is extremely iconic…….
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
Well, maybe.
But if a company is going to pay millions for years for naming rights I think you have to give them some say. When I lived in Indy, they built the Hoosier Dome. A number of years later RCA paid for the naming rights and they changed the name. Some Hoosiers were initally all worked up. You know what substantially happened then? Nothing. Na-da. Zero. Zip.
The Yum! Brand is a global company and the world’s largest restaurant that is corporately located in Louisville. They are a major corporate supporter of UofL. It’s a good fit.
Really, it’s much ado about nothing. Kids won’t sign or not based on the name of the arena. People won’t attend or not because of the same. For every Yankee’s Stadium, I can counter with a Cellular Ballpark. The only difference between the two examples is money to the arena, team, school, or corporation. And that is a good thing. It is 2010, afterall.
'..when they bring a knife, you bring a gun...that's the Chicago way..'
youre right.....I just hate the way the name sounds.....lol....
and NOT because it’s Louisville……..if they had done a new one for UK and named it that I would still hate the name….
And you are right about Rupp as well. It’s time…..I dont know if we can fix the old girl or have to move, but it is definitely time to upgrade. And ironically you guys will probably be the push that gets the whole thing rolling finally.
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
Kids won’t sign or not based on the name of the arena. People won’t attend or not because of the same
Agreed.
It will be the fact that there will be nowhere to park if you want to get there early for a seven o’clock game on a weeknight.
Seriously, I have nightmares about the kind of traffic that will occur around Louisville’s downtown when employees are getting off work from 5-6 with a game starting at 7.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
Right.
It’s like Yogi Berra says….nobody goes there anymore; it’s too crowded.
'..when they bring a knife, you bring a gun...that's the Chicago way..'
Its the transition of the workday with the gamenight that would keep me away
YMMV
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
I understand.
However, there is a subset of civil engineering called traffic engineering. I am confident that has all been worked out beforehand by people smarter than me.
Sticking the arena in some cornfield in Oldham county doesn’t sound like a viable or attractive alternative. Not a whole lot of places to eat, have fun, and gather before or after the game.
'..when they bring a knife, you bring a gun...that's the Chicago way..'
According to the name on the building Hoze, youre supposed to eat
while youre there!!!……
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
Well I love the White Sox.
And go see them play often. But I use Verizon. However, to your point, I’ll consciously chose KFC over Popeyes, and Taco Bell over Taco Johns. I will stick to Poppa Johns, though.
See what good advertising does for a company?!? Money well spent, I’d say.
'..when they bring a knife, you bring a gun...that's the Chicago way..'
Good point on the Papa Johns vs Pizza Hut
On weekends, I think there could be a lot of good options for downtine dining pre-game/nightlife post-game. Parking would probably also be less of a factor if companies like Humana open up their parking structures.
As I said, the sticky point will come during early games on weeknights. If UofL can up their profile to near the top of the Big East again, and ESPN picks them for a lot of 9 PM games; then the weeknight problems will be lessened as well.
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
Downtown... not downtine.
Sigh… my kingdom for an edit button!
Of course its difficult, its a shortcut... if it was easy it'd just be "the way."
By the way...
Great America Ballpark is named after the corporation’s name…Great America theme parks. You can pick apart the name and subjectively say it’s good or bad. If you want to be picky you can say they have affiliated themselves with roller coasters and merry-go-rounds. Although given they way they are playing so far, that’s pretty accurate.
'..when they bring a knife, you bring a gun...that's the Chicago way..'
yeah, I have some dealings with Great American Insurance.....but I did think it was a nice fit.....The Reds deserved to play in a park like that
Riverfront was a mistake……..but it saw a lot of good baseball played there…..and a lot of history
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
Grew up ~4 miles from Riverfront.
Huge Big Red Machine fan. Graduated in ‘74 at it’s height. Almost got hit by a Gene Tennace HR in World Series. Remember exactly where I was in ‘75 when the Doggie hit Spaceman’s Ephus pitch over the Green Monster. Youngest son was 3 weeks old when they won the World Series in ‘90. Riverfront is one of 23 MLB’s stadiums I have seen a game in with my oldest.

I made 14 Opening Days from the first to the 95 season was never back after that
Some of my best memories were of that place after I got older and went a few places, saw Three Rivers and Philly and realized what they meant by “cookie cutter” for the first time. But the players were what made the place special in those days…..We used to get “yellow” seats from where my aunt worked…..sometimes blue as well…..one opening day though we went without tickets after I graduated highschool and had to sit in the 2nd row down from the top in the red seats……I think that was when I started really drinking hard…..lol…..was numb by the time we went home….lol

Yum
might be positioning themselves to open a chain of horseburger restaurants in Europe.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
Filet de fillie ...........
then become the corporate sponsor when they build a new baseball stadium in Philadelphia.
Ban The Chicken!
OK, everyone who has never tasted Kentucky Fried Chicken can only coment on the new name.
Watch. There stock will go down now, all because of the people who hate the Louisville Cardinals and I’m sure no one on here is going to continue to buy their chicken.
Right?
I have be correctly accused of having a 'football fetish'. You know, someone who doesn't think football is the warm up sport to basketball season.
not necessarily.....but this place does give new meaning to the term "bucket of wings".....lol
I AM THE CAT......The Cat In The Hat!!!
I do want to hurl anytime I see a commercial for the Double Down
I feel my arteries clogging everytime I even think about it.
