Josh Harrellson puts off decision until tomorrow

Looks like Sutton is our man.

I think it looks worse for us the longer this gets postponed.

I also do not have a good feeling about this.

It could be taking a while to get mom and dad on board.

Or, we loose again.

I don't mind the losses. For BCG to get in on these kids as close as he has gotten in as short of time shows mad skills.

If he already knows his decision, why wont he just say?  Why put it off another day?

I think he really wants to come here but is battling home and family which can be awfully tough.  Still, I think we win this one.  But...we will see.

I watched the Pitino interview re Caracter most likely not coming back to UL. He said something to the effect, I cannot remember his exact words, that when your son or daughter makes a decision to go to college, get married, etc. There is really nothing you can do as they have a mind of their own. A parent would prefer their son goes to the college of parent's choice, but that is not always the case. Harrellson seems to me to be quite mature as to being able to make his own choice about his future basketball years.

I suppose we will just have to wait and hear.

his decision has already been made.

And I think we will like it.

That's what I think, not what I know.

Can't be happier to have been wrong.

I was listening when Maggard released the news on the radio 630 with Dick Gabriel around 6:30 or so.  Awesome news!

I do not think you will ever regret your decision to be a Wildcat...and your parents are going to LOVE seeing you on national TV!

Go Big Blue! GO WILDCATS!

This is the best possible outcome for UK for recruiting for next year.  I'm very excited to have Josh aboard!  I heard Josh say in the Marc Maggard interview that he has only been playing basketball for 5 years, so that explains how he went from being not highly ranked his senior year, to becoming a hot asset in the junior college circuit.  He is only going to get better!

Not only is Josh a great talent and rising player, but also Patterson won't have to play nearly the whole game.  This will make Patterson much more effective when he does play and reduce his risk of injury.

I'm looking forward to a big improvement for the 2008-2009 season.  If Jasper stays, Meeks is healthy, and both Liggins and Galloway show up, I think we'll be very competitive.  Can't wait to see what Gillispie does with a full roster!!

Coach will make you an NBA player.

He is tough as we saw this past year...but toughness pays for the next level.

Glad you are on board for Ky Wildcats.

Dominique Ferguson, 5 star power forward, class of 2010

KSR is now reporting that Eric Ferguson a 6'9 power forward currently ranked as the 8th best player in the 2010 class has committed to UK. While signing day is quite a ways off and things could change this a really good news for the CATS. Our 2010 class is looking beastly.

Like Billy says, sometimes hard work pays off.  You might not see it right away but it will pay off somewhere along the way.  There is no doubt he and his staff are one of the hardest working recruiting machines I have ever seen.  Hard work pays off.  Now if I were Josh, I would put in some hard work this summer running my rear end off.

in here.

Good to see.  I have a new post up now, nothing new, but I had to catch up somehow ...
