I seem to recall a very vocal group of people saying he would never see a game in the NBA and that he would be straight to Europe.

Confused

must have be jealous

I really hope that we get to watch him do some great things on the court in the seasons to come. He was an outstanding basketball player in his time at UK and I'm happy to see another Wildcat in the NBA.

All I can say to Jodie Meeks is, Great Job and Good Luck!

Imagine that. Where oh where is he now??? Acutally, I think Meeks has signed before TWILL

Im right here why???congrats Jodie...good luck and hope to see you play...i said hope....I dont see him playing unless a blow is in the making....

Congrats but i am sad for Uk. He would have been the rock for that team this year. We still are going far but he could have been a leader to all the new comers.

And he also may have dropped farther in next years draft even if he was able to improve some of his lacking skills as next years draft is supposed to be very strong...

He made the right move for his future IMO at the moment...

I'm disappointed that I won't get to see him playing in blue next year but I can totally understand as to why he made the decision that he did.

Good luck Jodie!

:thatsfunn

Man, it's okay that Meeks is doing better than... uhhh..."TWILL". Don't sweat it man. :biggrin:

You always say the past don't matter (UK's 7 championships compared to Louisville's 2), so why bring up last year's UK/UofL game?
