Jamal Murray to announce TUESDAY (Murray Chooses Kentucky)

[BBNalldayeveryday]

He's all decked out wearing a giant Canada cape.

Someone said one of the people with him has an Oregon jacket on.

Jamal Murray is a Cat.

[lilproUK98]

YES! Finally. This IS HUGE

[Joneslab]

Arguably the biggest commitment of the Calipari era given our roster and this kid's potential.

Takes Kentucky from a top 15ish team in America on paper to possibly #1 in the preseason.

[JFCats22]

Wow....just wow. I am shocked. Maybe the most shocked I have ever been in recruiting. Unbelievable get for Cal.

[BBNalldayeveryday]

I'm sure glad my intuition was wrong in this instance lol. Great get for us

[BBNalldayeveryday]

Our backcourt is going to be as hard to deal with this season as our front court was this past season.

[Joneslab]

I still go back to the timing. Kentucky got involved and he immediately started to talk about reclassifying.

Apparently that wasn't a coincidence.

From everything I had gathered I was convinced the whole Canada factor would prevail and he would end up at Oregon because of the other 4 or 5 canadians they had on the team already, and because of that assistant coach of theirs.

I'm amazed! WHOOOOOOO

[BBNalldayeveryday]

Jamal realized (to his credit, unlike the others who decided not to come) that if he came to Kentucky he would have the chance to win a national title while getting groomed to play in the NBA next year.

[KevinHall]

Shocking! But a good shocking. Cal knew what he was doing by being at Yankee Stadium today. He had him in the bag.

Next years team will be a true version of the dribble drive. If Willis can come along with his development then we could be crazy fun to watch. I think he can be very mobile and at 6-9 would be a great pick and pop guy. Cannot wait.

Been away for several weeks. Hope to be back posting soon.

Yeah, it should look very similar to Cal's last teams at Memphis. Three guards who can all handle the ball and shoot it. Two of whom can swing around to all three perimeter positions. Pretty similar to Cal's first team at UK.

Also, what Murray does is make it so that some of these guys--notably Willis, Hawkins, and Mulder--won't have to do more than they're able to do. They can come along slowly and fit into roles. Without Murray those three would've had to play a lot, and I'm not sure how that was going to work.
