Saturday Quickies: Set Roster? Edition

Good morning, Big Blue Nation.

It’s a rainy, no account day here close to Louisville. But that’s not going to stop me from getting these Quickies to the good people of BBN.

With DeAndre Williams choosing the Memphis Tigers over the Kentucky Wildcats yesterday and with Makur Maker seemingly favoring the UCLA Bruins if he chooses to go to college, it appears as if Kentucky’s roster is set.

Which is fine with me. Olivier Sarr, Keion Brooks, Lance Ware, and Isaiah Jackson are enough for the front court and the guard/wing spot are loaded with talent. Adding Williams would have been a good insurance policy but I doubt he would have been more than the eighth or ninth man off of the bench.

As long as Sarr is eligible, and I think there is a very good chance of that, then Kentucky will be ready to roll whenever practice can begin.

Tweets of the Day

I hold no ill will toward Williams and I think he made the right decision. Penny Hardaway can offer him all the minutes he wants.

Could Boogie Watson have a similar senior year to Josh Allen?

The secondary is absolutely loaded. The majority of started are coming back plus former five star recruit and LSU player Kelvin Joseph is eligible.
