Kentucky Tidbits

Kentucky Football

Jonathan George is impressing Joker Phillips and Rich Brooks. In fact, it sounds like all of the young running backs are impressing the coaching staff. They don.t seem worried at all about our future running game.

I know Jonathan George played on a great high school team in Lincoln, Alabama that won the state championship. He is the type of player that would not have considered UK in the past.

This is another sign we are slowly, but surely climbing the recruiting ranks although I will admit I would it to be faster. We are still not recruiting well enough to beat South Carolina and Tennessee. It.s not happening as fast as I would like..But oh well, I have to be patient and trust the process of building a football program the right way. Not the Hal Mumme/Claude Basset way..

Kentucky Basketball

Many people are talking about Long Beach State playing a schedule that has been even tougher than UK.s schedule. These guys are not going to be intimidated at all by UK.

I lived in Long Beach for a short while and it has some rough, rough areas of town! Besides that, I liked living there for a short while. It.s a fun place with great weather.

Eric Bledsoe and DeAndre Liggins are turning into some incredible defensive players. They will ball-hawk the best guards in the country and hold their own. This perimeter defense could really disrupt other teams. offensive game plans. I really believe this is one of the main factors that could help UK reach a national championship game. A consistent improvement on defense will get UK to the promise land this season!

Let me know how my prediction turns out..

We don.t even have to mention the interior defense. Who would you rather have playing interior defense than Patterson, Orton, and Cousins? I can.t remember a more intimidating front line on a UK basketball team. This season gets more fun every game.
