Following potential 2012 draftees

Is poor Kyle Wiltger going to get to start next year? Or he is going to be a 4 year bench/6th man like Darius Miller?

It will depend on whether he gains enough strength in the off-season. He's an offensive powerhouse but an equally deficient defender at this point. Not really funny because I really like the kid and his game, but it's kind of ridiculous to think he was 7th man this year, we could lose the 6 guys in front of him (to the draft), and he could end up being 8th man next year. Kinda sad, but possible.
 
I wondered if you were going to get on the recruiting trail now that the season is over. Good luck with all of that.


/pure jealousy

I watch most of these top kids from their sophomore year in HS (don't go there, Cy). There's just not a whole lot left to add to the info on the 2012 draftees .. that's why I'm just focusing more on the next class.
 
Start that mutha up. I'm starting to switch all my thinking to '13 now anyway (both becuase of the GSW pick and UK's next couple of recruiting classes).

By the way, the UK coaching staff feel very confident we're going to add #1 Nerlens Noel, #2 Shabazz Muhammed, and #7 Anthony Bennett to our already committed #15 Archie Goodwin, #16 Alex Poythress, and #40 Willie Cauley. That would make back-to-back-to-back-to-back #1 classes. :)

Noel + Shabazz is probably better than Davis + MKG. What a duo they would be...
 
'Bazz isn't a done deal. He's 100% UK but his dad is demanding he goes to UCLA. Not hating when I say that would be a shame to see Bazz in slooooow ball.

I predicted long ago he would go to UCLA....not that I wanted him to. Best of luck landing him.

Btw, who do you see as a better prospect between Bazz and Noel?

I don't get that. Did the Dad get paid? UK right now is the best place to showcase yourself to the NBA.

Maybe his dad wants him closer to home so he can go to the games. Probably has a better relationship with UCLA's staff.
 
I'm no expert, but from what I've see and read about Noel, I'm just seeing the next Drummond, tons of talent but I have a hard time seeing him becoming a star.

Big difference between Noel and Drummond. Noel has world-class motor and desire. Drummond is a lazy ***.
 
Trey Burke is entering the draft. This draft has all of the sudden become very deep in potential starting quality PG's.

Marshall
Lillard
Rivers (potentially)
Teague (still in the air)
Burke
BJ Young
Wroten

There's definitely some interesting PG's in this draft. None seem like safe picks, though...except maybe Marshall.
