That's about what I figured we'd be ranked at, I hope we can prove that ranking true!

What ever happened to having to have a good season before you get ranked highly. Examples include Ole miss (football) Notre Dame (every sport)

If their scrimmage yesterday was any indication, this will be Kentucky's starting lineup:

G- John Wall, FR, 6'4"
G- Eric Bledsoe, FR, 6'1"
F- Darius Miller, SO, 6'7"
F- Pattrick Patterson, JR, 6'9"
C- DeMarcus Cousins, FR, 6'11"

Wall had 25 points, 11 assists, and 7 rebounds in the scrimmage. He's not a great shooter, but an amazing play-maker.

They're a legit Top 5 team.

I'd have liked them around 15 and then prove themselves. Could they be a top 5 team, of course. But 3 of these kids have never played in a collegiate game.

You have to prove yourself regardless of where you're ranked in the preseason. These rankings mean nothing. As expected, the voters felt UK is one of the best teams in the country... and I don't disagree with that.

I love this for UK. The media is setting their fans up for a huge meltdown.

UK will take some losses early, but they'll be a legit top 5 team come March. Unfortunately, there won't be a meltdown.
