Question: Issel was before my time when he was at UK, but I saw him play as a pro with the Denver Nuggets and liked him...the UK association probably helped make that a little stronger....but do players like that count? Or are we only talking about players we actually saw play for Kentucky?

[South jones]

Doesn't matter when they played or whether you saw them play.

[KentuckyWild2020]

It is a absolute shame Reed Sheppard did not get to play another year or two at Kentucky, no doubt he would be on this list.

Even more so, right now he and the Rockets are battling the Lakers. He gets a shove from Lebron last night and then goes into straight beast mode. Had this kid stayed at Kentucky another year maybe two no doubt in my mind BBN would be tuned in night after night to watch him in the playoffs but because of the one and done stuff, nobody cares!!!!!!!!

Your first 5 would have been on my dads list. lol
He had great stories of Lickert in practice. I think he was the original (Were talking practice) guy. He would show up drunk or no show, show up way late. Rupp used to just unleash on him. But the guy could play ball for sure.

I get it, i felt the same way. No Magloire kicking Louiseville's a$$, or Rondo's full speed wraparound on Uconn?

Terrance Jones monster dunks, Wayne Turner just win, Eric Daniels sleepy good, Lights out Devin Booker,

Primetime send you home Aaron Harrison? Who would have thought SGA would not only be a good NBA player but a Superstar NBA champion? Calipari was right about that one, i didn't see that coming.

Brandon Knight put us on his back, MKG was a straight up menace, a winner.

Tyrese was a very likeable player at Kentucky and not for the Covid shutdown, that team was starting to click at the right time.

Was Walter McCarty good or what?

There are still a few more players I could add to the list.

Brings me to this and I will no apologize to no one for this. It is some absolute BS we cant land really good players at this time. Maybe it's Pope and for right now, he's not trusted or proven yet for some of the top players to commit, I don't know. I hope that is the reason and not something else in regards to his personality not really jiving with young players. If that is the case, that is a major problem.

We have history, tradition, the best fan base by far in the world, who wouldn't want to play at Kentucky? We can pay as good as anyone else, something has to give on this player recruiting in the near future.

Oh, there's LOTS more! I was just namng the guys I really liked the best, not necessarily that were the best. In addition to the guys you named, I didn't include Kenny Walker or Antoine Walker, or Joe Crawford or Randolph Morris or Ed Davender or James Blackmon or Mark Pope or Nerlens Noel, etc We could list a top 150 and STILL be ommiting players that should be included.

[Bluehausen]

I'm going by who I saw and remember. I remember Pitino onward so that's what I'm personally doing. I'm sure Pre-Pitino were great and no knocking anyone who included them.

Scott Padgett - 98 vs Duke, enough said, and nice guy.
Terrence Jones - I feel like he was an underrated hero of the 2011 and 2012 teams. I also like how he didn't take crap from people.
Jamal Mashburn - Saved the program by coming
Tony Delk - Does ne need explanation?
Anthony Epps - Just liked watching him play
Doron Lamb - Dude could plain shoot
Tayshaun Prince - See Delk
Keith Bogans - See Delk
Gerald Fitch - See Epps
John Wall - Saved the program by making it cool again

I'm sure there are more, but these 10 came to mind first and is in no particular order.
