JV team needed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Nazr Mohammad played some JV and he is still in the NBA. Wasn't it Larry Brown who advised Coach Cal to have a JV team last season? The bench sitters referred to themselves as a very offensive piece of solid waste in Adolph's day. I, very personally, played softball until an injury sropped me at 75. I played on very fine local teams, but I would much prefer playing for a mediocre team over sitting for a Championship team. I count NO Kentucky basketball player ever as anything but blue chip. Today a lot of blue chippers populate this world, but ours have to do more than practice vs. our own starters or PT dandies. There is just too much parity to pretend otherwise.
I commented this, not to KSR, but to a small group of Kentucky fans I forward KSR and Aaron's UK basketball blog to each morning:
SamKat's comments:
UK basketball has traditionally been above reproach, like the classy ladies young boys wouldn't think could be "had". Tubby and Billy G, were 'ladies' who let the word out that UK basketball could be had, like certain celebrity sluts, and now all SEC teams want to invade the territory. Sad. Even Coach Cal felt he could make it with a thin squad. (Not at all so thin had the NCAA allowed Enes to play.) Not in this age of parity! Cal will have to work his recruiting ablities even harder to obtain a full roster IMHO. Jones, a blue chip blue chipper, looked absolutely 'tired and beat up' in last night's loss to Arkansas. It wiill be extra hard recruiting players who can't expect playing time, especially in early years. It is time to use a JV team again!
