This team is starting to remind me of the 92 season. Some people had high expectations, but for the most part, the population counted them out. Then they had a fairly great year, and went deep in to March. Im not saying that this team will be the same. But look at the players that are here.
Patterson: All american, enough said
Meeks: Can score bucket loads and works hard, but how he deals with injurys is huge.
Stevenson: Can have flashes of brilliance, possibility of 20 and 10 games, but some times he gets lost and the strength factor
Harris: Great defender, works har, and can occasionally give you 10 ppg or more, will alwaya rebound well for you.
Miller: Hard worker, able to fill it up, a team player, good defense.
Liggins: Flashy and very good. Known for his great passing skills and able to fill it up. Gives you a pg postion to set up the offense, limit turnovers, and score.
Galloway: Averaged 9 assist last year, i mean if he came in as the backup pg and gave 5 assist he would be great, but also can possibly give 10 ppg along with a few rebounds.
Harrelson: Able to hit the 15 ft jump shot. Take pressure off Patrick and allow him to play his natural position. Defensive presence, and rebounding help on the offensive and defensiv end. Chip in on the offense as well.
Stewart: HAS GREAT POTENTIAL. When he played he played well. He scored 10 points in an early game in the season. Very athletic, moves well, and plays above the basket.
Carter: Potential as well, may come in and take some pressure off Patterson and Stevenson. BIG, so defensive presence. ability to make a play.
Porter: the work aholic. works very hard, hit the three pointer when there, hustles and good defense.
Looking at everything that was listed you can see that there is the possibility for great succes, no one can deny that. But what they do with that is key. Will Perry be a weakling and get loss like we have seen, or will he be Beast Perry we seen against tennessee and Florida. Many questions are there and only time will tell, but in any situation, it will be interesting. I know im not the only one, where youve seen a game between a power house, or at least a "better" team an the underdog wins because they want it more, they play with heart and they want it. Just like at Tennessee last year. Eveyone counted us out by 20 points. Tennesse was lucky to escape that one. It all comes down to heart with this team. Will they make the run of the year, or fall in mediocracy. Only they can decide.
One more quick thing? Everyone graduated highschool here right? Did anyone pay attention to Math here. If both Orton and Wall want to play togethor and Kentucky is high on both of them, while the other schools on their list are different, the least common denominator is Kentucky. Just put that out there. So many elite players are loooking at us, dont worry bout who were gonna get, well get ours. Ohh and North Carolina is recruiting 2010 players, they already have a top 15 player signed like Kentucky. Just thought id throw that out there to who ever said they didnt recruit that far in the future.
