[Deathstar 80]

It doesn't matter, when each position can play 40 mins/game and you're averaging more than 5 minutes a game, you're playing a role, Liggins played almost a full half per game.

I did some math from ESPN.com to see how many minutes the freshman played:

5 freshman: Total of 3,879 minutes.
8 veterans: Total of 3,796 minutes.

It looks to me like both freshman and veterans had an equal impact. I know there are fewer freshman than the veterans, but the veterans still had a pretty good impact.

Something to remember, though, is that recruiting is part of coaching. If you remember Coach Tubby Smith (I wish Kentucky didn't fire him ), he was a great coach that was said to maybe even be a future Hall of Famer. However, he was criticized for not being a good recruiter. Therefore, when looking at Coach Calipari, you have to include recruiting along with the fact of whether or not he's a good coach. He might not be the best strategist in the country, but I personally think he's overall a great coach.

HEY!...when I played UK vs. Duke on NCAA 10 it was always a close game..Just sayin'. lol.

:Thumbs: Both teams were great! If both teams played 10 games against each other, I predict it would be a 5-5 series.
