There have been 31 McDonald's High School All-Americans to play basketball for the University of Kentucky. 8 of those Micky D's transferred from UK for various reasons.

I remember Carruth. He would have been one heck of a ballplayer if he had only stayed out of trouble and focused on basketball. He could shoot like no other, and was athletic too. Although I disagree with the way he acted, I still feel he deserved more playing time at UK!
Marvin Stone was a brute down low. He could get you a double-double nearly every time out. He was nearly unstoppable, but like we've seen so many times before, 'ole Tubby let a good one go!

Other than Stone, name the other so many times that ole Tubby let a good one go?
I dont remember Stone being all that special. As a matter of fact, we used to call him Marvin "hands of" Stone.
I remember Rashaad Carruth also, he had like 19 or 21 pts against dUKe in the meadowlands for the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic !
Carruth could definitely fill it up!!
Would have been a GREAT one but to much THUG in his BLOOD!
Carruth was his own worst enemy didn't he go to oklahoma state and get kicked off the team?

yep......and getting kicked off an Eddie Sutton team speaks volumes..
I don't know how Stone was ever a McDonald's AA.
Carruth also then went to a JUCO and was removed from the team if I remember correctly.
I think you are right Catdawg
Very good list. Mercer was the best by far I think.
