Closer look @ the Kentucky Wildcats:

Last year they made it to the NCAA Elite Eight. This year, they are not as hyped as last year with Wall, Patterson, Cousins and Bledsoe. However, they have a very decent players n their team to watch:



Brandon Knight :G, 6'3, 183 lbs.


Enes Kanter: C, 6'9, 240 lbs.

I've not heard that Jeff Teague's brother Marquis Teague already joined Kentucky although he has committed himself to the team. He''ll be good for the team, though.

I'm excited to see Enes, the guy has been hyped, let us see if he got what it takes to complete in the US college level. There has been a controversy regardless his eligibility to go to Kentucky, but that has been ironed out already, his with the team now.

Some parts of Coach John Calipari Q & A on freshman Brandon Knight:
(I don't know if he will follow the footsteps of Rose, Evans and Wall. But sounds like his been going on that path...hhhhhmmm)

Question: How much did the Canada trip help Brandon Knight?

Calipari: You know what was great about it? He was scared to death, nervous as heck, which is like a John Wall and all these kids, and it's going to be that way the beginning of next year...

Question: Have you ever heard a great player come in with great academic honors like Brandon's bringing in?

Calipari: No, but this is so unusual that I've never heard of it before. I've heard of kids coming in with a couple of classes but not here. But again, I'm going to tell you, of all the kids I've coached, I've had kids that have anxiety like he has, which is Derrick Rose, Tyreke, John Wall - they're scared to death. What those kids do is they get in the gym, they're so scared and have so much anxiety about 'Maybe I'm not good as everybody says' that they take it out in there. He is exactly the same. Now, he's not as big as John, he's not as fast as Derrick, he's not as strong as Tyreke. He is who he is. He's different. Every one of those guys is different. Eric Bledsoe is different."

Question: So is it a big deal that Brandon has made those kinds of shots in high school and All-Star games?

Calipari: Oh, yeah. But it's different here. What he did, what was so great, this kid worked so hard that if you're on the team with him at times, it will tick you off. 'Who gets up in the morning? Who is he trying to impress? He's trying to kiss coach's (butt).' That's natural. I don't know if that's being said, but I'll bet you it was. And if it wasn't said, it was thought. So when he went up that first game and performed like he did, I'm looking, 'I don't ever want to hear a word.' I'm yelling it down the bench. 'Anybody talking?' 'Whose talking? Is anybody talking?' It proves that - it's like DeAndre said, 'I see him work, it's getting me to work more. I spend more time. I stay after.' That's why I brought him here. Here's a kid that's going to have one year under his belt as he starts class this year. So after one year he'll be at two years. And if he goes this summer, he'll have another nine credits, eight credits. That's what you want. You also want a guy that's going to work. It's what your culture becomes. To survive here, you've got to go like he goes.

Knight was also number 11, but I guess he doesn't want any association with the last player who wore it in Kentucky. Looks like he will be using number 12 this season.
