Jai Lucas transferring from Florida.

ESPN - Florida Gators guard Jai Lucas to transfer

He had his chance to come to UK and chose otherwise. Someone else can have him. Also I would rather not have a player less than 6 ft on my team. They can really struggle defensively.

GJVilarino (sp?) will be coming aboard next year, and he's only about 6' tall. With Liggins (6'6") and Galloway (6'3"), not to mention Porter (6'2"), Lucas would surely be outsized, but he is one fine player. Lucas has to be thinking of his potential pro career, because he may be good enough to make it in the NBA as a point guard. UK could really have used him last year. With Hood, Orton and Vilarino already committed, I doubt UK would have a slot for him anyway.

Wonder where the "elsewhere" is he's going to be enrolling? LSU could use him. We're rebuilding with a new coach, so might as well get new players.

Lucas wants to be "close to home" so LSU, Houston, Texas, Oklahoma State, etc. would all be valid candidates. Maybe Texas Tech, too.

That's UCLA for you. They win every game that way. It aint pretty but they win 30 games every year grinding it out.

If you had to pick the final four teams right now, who would you say are the favorites to be there? I haven't a clue, that's whay I'm asking.

Carolina and pick 3 others. UConn, Louisville, UCLA, Texas are pretty good bets.

Not even if they got Kevin Durant and DJ Augustin back.

VMI beats Kentucky! 2nd straight year with a "death by cupcake" loss!

Well, the mighty Huskies certainly had no problem.

I think they are VERY good- the worst I see them is getting to the Elite 8- but #2 is a bit high, hancox.

Ramy meltdown in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

Wow! I wonder if the fans there will start putting the for sale signs in Billy's yard like they did with Tubby. 0-1 will soon be 0-2 when Kentucky gets blasted by Carolina next week.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

I have Carolina, Texas, Louisville, and Michigan State.

That's about as good a guess that I would make. Would love to see my Spartans there, since I will be there. Got my TIX for the final four, and can't wait for March Madness.
