Tubby Smith left FINALLY! His slow pace, throw the ball in the middle to a triple teamed player and resulting in turnover after turnover is GONE! Billy Gillispie has brought Alex Legion and Patrick Patterson, two all americans. DeAndre Liggins is rumored to have UK as #1 on his list. Tyler Zeller and Willie Warren, Darius Miller and other high recruited players have UK on their top list. Is UK basketball BACK ON TOP?

Not just yet, Billy G hasn't even coached a game for UK yet and the SEC is still a good basketball conference and the new team hasn't even played a game yet. If Gilespie recruits good players and coaches to his players ability In a few years Kentucky will be mentioned with Duke, UNC, Kansas, and UCLA again and maybe even play in the final four.

Billy G has his work cut out for him. Patrick Paterson can bound but he can't run the court.
Let's check back in three seasons, and see if Billy G can get some players that [play his tough D, slow-down, WINNING style, or if he is able to adjust to an umptemp-style for the type of players he will now be able to recruit.
I agree that the future is bright for Kentucky hoops, but hope you all are patient w/Billy G.

After finally being able to cheer about Aggie Basketball the last few years, it was tough to see Billy Clyde leave, but we all knew he would take the UK job. Get ready to watch some ugly, defensive, grind it out basketball games. Intensity on defense is his trademark, and with the athletes that ya'll can recruit there, it should be fun to watch. Good luck this year.

I hate UK but i will say this they will be good in a couple years....Billy G needs to organize the team and slow down a bit. Louisville will take the trphy for the next couple years and could even make it to championship this year and the next couple of years......it will be a fun game to watch....UK has a hard scedule that bily g will need to get used to but once he settles they are going to go good....as much as i hate to say it
