      How come Jon Hood is not on the team lol lol lol lol lol lol


      Wayne Tuner about to get fired lol lol lol.

      Laying all jokes aside, I hope someday Turner finds his way on the UK coaching staff.

      Six maybe 7 years ago, I actually talked to Turner. There was topic going around on who was one of the best Point Guards to ever play at Kentucky and I threw out Wayne Turner's name (accomplishments) and he responded to that, appreciated that. We sent a few messages back and forth and that was that.


      Regardless, glad to see Turner back in Lexington....

        Orton did play on last year’s team, but he barely ever got in because he’s gotten so slow and fat now. MKG has been completely out of basketball for over half a decade now. And I believe Miller and TJ are also long since retired. Those dudes haven’t played on any level (not even overseas) in years.

        The good thing about the three non-UK guys is they’re young and in peak condition. I think it’s better to have that …even if they played at a lower college level …than see a washed up former UK star be embarrassed because his legs are now long gone.

          Of the 58 players Cal sent to the NBA while at Kentucky, not at all are playing in the NBA.

          Dakari Johnson, James Young, many others would compliment and fill out this roster.

          Not interested at all to be honest. If it's not true blue i could care less..
          James Young played last year, at somewhere around 70 lbs. overweight.

            He coaches the girls' team at Atherton High.

            My son's girlfriend used to be his manager, and she and my son got to know him pretty well. A buddy of mine has worked with him for years.

            Wayne is...an interesting guy. I'll leave it at that.

              Yeah, on these better teams in the TBT, the guys have to be in really good (close to elite) shape to even hang in there. These aren't guys just off the street thrown into pick-up games, these are guys who are still working on their bodies.

              When you hit your 30s, it becomes infinitely more difficult. It's probably just not worth the investment for a lot of players.

              Also knowing Sean Woods, he wants to win and getting players just for the sake of fan enjoyment probably isn't why he's doing this. Manic competitor.

                  Or, if you were cool, you wouldn't just leave it at that.

                    I don't know him like that. Who knows, he may have ravens demons and all kinds of skeletons in the closet.

                    I like Turner but still think RONDO can be our Strickland in the Pope era, just not sure who Pope and Rondo would get along. The fact both are numbers gurus, they could jive pretty well as long as POPE doesn't forget his plays in his own playbook...

                      Dang, dude been to IN N OUT burger too much..

                      I just threw his name out there. Poythrees, Willis, lots of others, still not sure why it's not a team of all UK alumni.

                      Are these players getting paid?

                        Cousins is/was in the Puerto Rican League and Knight also plays there. Harrelson plays in Japan I believe.

                        It’s not as easy as you’d think with NBA summer league going on too.

                          Poythress and Willis are both still on teams overseas.

                              It's a million dollars to the winning team.

                              That's also the thing with your posts, when someone refutes them you're "just throwing" something out there. I typically do a little research before throwing stuff at the wall hoping something sticks.
