It's Good to be a Kentucky Fan


How 'bout those Wildcats?
Here's a question: Should we be suspicious of the recent collection of top 50 talents landing in the Blue Grass in a most dizzingy fashion since Billy Gillespie came to town?
Probably no more than the next guy. I still find it odd that Thad Motta does what he does, dominating recruiting classes at a traditional football power in Ohio State.

I guess it's only natural that we're witnessing Gillespie thrive in the country's most loyal and rabid area. He's a tireless worker who happened to build programs like UTEP and Texas A&M and advance them into the NCAAs.
Gillespie just snagged another blue chipper in K.C. Ross Miller of Texas. He deserved the verbal, only because he's followed the top-rated point guard since the eighth-grade. Two years later, he returned that loyalty. Miller's annoucement follows Gillespie's 2007 class, headed by Patrick Patterson and Alex Legion. Kentucky was also able to reel in DeAndre Liggins, a 6-5 shooting guard rated No.18 by Rivals.com in the latest class of 2008 rankings.

So, yes, it's good to be a Kentucky guy. Again. And fair or not, Gillespie is taking over.
