P.J. Washington the Model for "Positionless" Players at Kentucky

[Joneslab]

Word is Washington had a very good showing last night in the U19 tryouts.

Speaking of those U19 tryouts, just reading around the various reports it sounds like Kevin Knox is one of the best players there*. Not surprising.

Diallo and Washington have gotten some nice pub too, as has Bol Bol who UK covets as much as anyone in this upcoming class.

You have to think all those guys make the team.

* Another guy who's gotten a lot of talk is incoming Western Kentucky freshman Mitchell Robinson. That guy is going to be a star for his one year in Bowling Green.

Such a weird statement...one and done star at WKU

Such a weird statement...one and done star at WKU

It's crazy how Jeff Goodman has been on Twitter more than once in the last few weeks flat-out accusing Rick Stansbury of being a cheater.

[Joneslab]

And Duke's Marques Bolden has struggled mightily in the tryouts by all accounts.

We thinking Bol is a more likely option than Bagley in the next class? Definitely more Bol-to-UK buzz as of late.

I remember when Jerry Tipton thought it was his life's mission to put Kentucky on probation and thought he had a gotcha moment on the program. Goodman just has a larger bull horn to be heard. I wasn't worried about Tipton digging up anything. I suspect Goodman either has gossip from somebody or he figures WKU must be cheating to be getting top recruits, because they lack tradition.

Seems like Cal is all in on him. I still think Bagley is by far best player in high school.

Also - everyone is saying PG Quickley to UK is as close to 100% as a recruit can be.

Bolden was cut from the tryouts today.

All the UK guys made it, obv.

[UK8STL11]

Cut today from Team USA (went from 28 to 18). Still have 6 more to cut

Desmond Bane (TCU), Marques Bolden (Duke), Devon Daniels (NC St), Malachi Flynn (Washington St), DeAnthony Melton (So Cal), Charlie Moore (Kansas), Shamorie Ponds (St. Johns), Jeremiah Tilmon (Mizzou), Kris Wilkes (UCLA), Trae Young (Oklahmoa)

I believe it was yesterday that Cal referred to Knox as a Guard. Imagine a backcourt of Hami and Knox .
I loved Washington since I first saw his tape. He plays really hard.

Probably....but Ideally both!!!

Cal ain't no dummy.

I remember when we really wanted Bolden.
