and not Kentucky. The Wildcats are about out of available prospects for their frontcourt next year. At this point, the big names on the board are Cothron and Thornton, neither of which are elite players. Right now, the only solid front court player on the roster is Enes Kanter and he still hasn't arrived in Lexington.

At this point, that leaves UK with some very talented players in Knight, Kanter and Lamb. Poole will be a good player, Liggins and Miller are quality returnees, but none of the previously listed are on the same level as Wall, Cousins and Patterson. Watching Knight, I just don't see him having the impact as Wall did. Kanter may approach Cousins, but there are not five first rounders on this roster.

So, as it stands, I don't see anything near 30 wins for the Cats next year and good news for a semi-rebuilding Vols team. In particular, I don't see the Wildcats having someone at the 4 whom can handle Harris, if Tobias plays to his capablilities as a freshman. I see this as a prime opportunity for the Vols to swipe 2 from our northern rivals in 2010-11.

I'm not a big fan of Romar's, but he does a pretty damn good job of keeping the local talent at home.

Ya, you really seem to take issue with guys who put a program on the map.

As a Husky season ticket holder, I'm thrilled about today's pickup. As a UT alum, I'm thrilled to see Kentucky lose out on another big recruit.

Kentucky coach John Calipari called Jones after his announcement and Jones was on the phone for a very long time. About 15 minutes. Reading body language, Jones seemed pained.

He told me, "You hurt thousands of people just as much as you make people happy."

Jones' mother said if he hadn't chosen Washington, he was going to pick Kentucky.

Exhibit #752 why Calipari is a douche.

I still think a sweep is a possibility. I certainly wouldn't concede a loss at Rupp with their lack of depth and inside presence. Obviously, it's a tough place to pull out a win, but I think there will be more losses for the Cats this upcoming year.

Its only rumor, but its building with epic proportions. Jones has said publicly that he is reconsidering. As pointed out above, his mom said it would have been UK.

I'm guessing in that 15 minute phone conversation, Cal went ahead and threw in the leer jet for his family to attend games from Oregon. :)
