Kentucky Wildcat Basketball: UK introduces website to promote player postseason accolades

The University of Kentucky has launched a website which promotes seven Wildcat basketball players for postseason honors. The UK release reads like this:

As the 2011-12 men's basketball regular season quickly comes to a close, postseason awards balloting has begun. With several players being considered for postseason acclaim, the University of Kentucky has launched a website dedicated to consideration for postseason awards among several Wildcat players.

UK has developed pages for seven athletes, with each page dedicated to his specific accomplishments throughout the season. The pages feature tidbits, video highlights, stats and more on each player.

To go to the site, click here.

The site is slick, clean, and extremely user friendly.

With this website, Kentucky has taken player promotion to the next level, and is just another example of the UK basketball program being a players first program.

One more bullet in the gun.

I wonder if Cal thought of this or someone else??

If its him, they are going to have to build a bigger athletic department for everything he comes up with.

Nice site...

I wonder if Eloy Vargas feels the same way?

In all fairness

what could they put on there for Eloy? “Cut from the Dominican Republic National Team”? Considering that he was in junior college two years ago, being in a position to play a supporting role on a national championship contender ain’t too bad, website or no.

Thanks for the updates and especially the pix. I suppose it’s alright to save these pix for myself. If not let me know and I’ll delete them.

That is pretty slick Ken

Thanks for the heads up

Have to second that!

Where is Miller’s monster dunk from last Saturday? My only guess is that it was to late to make the cut.

I thought exactly the same thing

when I watched Miller’s clips. Where was the highlight of the explosive dunk? I expected that to end the video.

By the way, may the seconds leading up to Miller’s big jam be the last time the cats trail for the rest of the season! Go Cats!

Don't be surprised if you see it later.

It takes a while to put this together. Once it’s together you can bet they will constantly update it for the rest of the year and Miller’s jam will be included.

Awesome

Sometimes lost in how these innovations affect recruiting is how things like this keep the fanbase engaged and excited. In my estimation an involved fanbase is our athletic departments biggest asset and a website such as this is perfect in fueling the proverbial fire.

Thanks Guys

Is he a small batch or single barrel kinda guy?

by FourRosesSB on Feb 21, 2012 6:51 PM EST up reply actions  

Single.

Not sure if he likes it neat or on the rocks.

Small batch for me....

although I would shake a stick at neither.

by FourRosesSB on Feb 21, 2012 8:32 PM EST up reply actions  

I think that single barrel is smoother

but both are outstanding.

hmmm,

well, since we are all taking guesses and I don’t want to be left out I will venture one too. Glenn likes Small Batch. There.
