PrintCongratulations to UK linebacker Danny Trevathan for being named to the 2011 Chuck Bednarik Award list. This is a big honor for Trevathan and the Kentucky Wildcats' much-maligned defensive unit.
Now, for the news:
-
Calipari says Anthony Davis has to be on the floor.
And that's that. -
Duke making a serious move on Perry Ellils.
Oooh, a showdown! - The NBPA has been preparing the players for this lockout for years.
-
John Adams of GoVolsExtra adopts the Calipari model of secession, but omits the other three conferences.
Secessionist rhetoric is intellectually unserious, whether it is Calipari or Adams. College presidents are never going to go for it in sufficient numbers. -
Will Lyles was also paid by LSU for "recruiting services."
Just how deep does this rabbit hole go? Via John Clay.
-
Former Vanderbilt player Andre Walker lands at Xavier.
A one-year transfer? You don't see that very often, but this could be right place-right time for Walker. -
Shane Battier asks NBPA prez Billy Hunter would accept a $1 salary during the lockout like the NFL's DeMaurice Smith.
Hunter was apparently offended at the very idea. Interesting ... -
Muhammad #1, can Calipari land him?
Well, he'll have a lot of competition. - Chuck Hayes gives us a blast from the past.
-
Well, this kid looks fine against players half his size.
Wonder how tall he'll get by the time he's a senior? -
Wiltjer will not be an afterthought when the season begins.
This kid has all kinds of game, and even though he isn't really a one and done prospect, he will be playing in the NBA some day. - Coleman is going to be tough, but I think Calipari can land him.
-
Brandon Knight likely to return to school during the lockout.
John Wall seems to be coming back to the Bluegrass during the lockout as well. -
John Wall scores 41 points in Goodman League debut.
He's pretty tough, that John Wall. -
Randall Cobb Is Already Giving Back
Lockout or not, Cobb understands how fortunate his situation is, and he wants to show others how to follow his path.
-
Kentucky recruiting 2013 stud Chris Walker "best and hardest."
I like the sound of that. -
Just what we need -- another "racket."
Well, AAU ball is hardly worthy of a ton of praise, but why should we be surprised when football follows suit? - Tiger Woods to skip British Open. Golf world yawns.
- It certainly isn't right that current players should be negotiating for retired players without their okay.
-
Playing for John Calipari increases chance Brandon Knight could out-perform expectations " PistonPowered
Sort of speaks for itself. -
Doron Lamb working "a lot harder" this year than last.
And he hasn't forgotten the UConn game. -
Leach Report review for Tuesday.
Lots of talk about Ken's Mount Rushmore post. -
DaJuan Coleman Down To Two?
Well, I never put much stock in what recruits say, but Caliapri has made this guy a priority. That's always bad for the other teams recruiting him.

Lyles
This whole Will Lyles scandal should scare the bejeezus out of any school associated with him in any way. It’s a never ending gauntlent of amazement that some coaches behave like teenagers, thinking they will never get caught behaving outrageously. The “it won’t happen to me” syndrom is obviously alive and well in college athletics, particularly football.
Yeah, it is crazy.
Hard to imagine grown men doing something so obviously shady.

Said in an interview, we would see a difference in the D-line this year because of Coach Minter. Maybe some of the criticism will subside. Coach calls it SWAG!
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
My kind of people, wish I had been there with them
a2, we sent my grandson to Cal’s Father/Son camp. I got an autographed basketball and some awesome pictures out of it.
"SPORTS"--Not interested----"CATS"--Pull up a chair,I've got all night.
Let the rumors begin.....
Cal is on the recruiting trail and this was his tweet.
In Indy today, got up at 6 am & I’ve been at the gym all day, leaving around 9:30 pm. I’m getting too old for this. My next stop is Akron.
He said he is getting too old to keep hitting the road. You know what will come from this, right? ’-)
Ahhhhh, summertime.
Blue... there is no other color to Bleed !!!
The Andy Katz link...
it’s worth blockquoting the entire paragraph. Basically Cal is still unsure of his his rotation will shake out. The biggest question is the Gilchrist vs. Miller debate, but I think he’s also waiting to see who will step up between Wiltjer, Poole & Hood.
Kentucky coach John Calipari, who spent the holiday weekend away from Lexington, is still trying to figure out how he wants his team to play next season. The one certainty he has seen is this: Anthony Davis has to be on the court.
Davis, a 6-foot-10 power forward from the Perspectives Charter School (Ill.), is expected to be a starter and an impact player from the outset.
“He has to play and be on the floor,‘’ Calipari said. "We’ll figure out how we’ll going to play against zone and overall offensively.’’
Like Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, Calipari will have a core group of veterans in Terrence Jones, Darius Miller and Doron Lamb to go along with an impact freshman class. Davis will play. Marquis Teague will likely be the point guard. Michael Gilchrist will be a major factor on the wing, and Kyle Wiltjer will deliver much-needed shooting. Calipari has to figure out how to put everyone together.
Unlike Duke, Kentucky can’t have practices in August (the Wildcats aren’t taking a foreign trip like they did a year ago to Canada). Instead, Calipari is hosting a minicamp in Lexington for his Dominican national team. Calipari is hoping to see if he can at least get Kentucky alumni, especially those in the NBA, to play a game against the Dominicans while there is an NBA lockout.
