Bye Bye Harrow... Hello Hawkins..... (Back up PG next year)

No offense to Hawkins, I think he's a great player by in state standards. However, do you really think he's ready to play against guys in a big conference?? I don't. He comes to UK, he'll do mop up duty the first few years & be a reserve throughout his career. He can't compete for PT with NBA guys. He's played consistently throughout the year. He caught the attention of some SEC schools in the state tournament, in which he lead his team to a state title & won MVP. The SEC guys are offering to say look who we stole from Calipari's back yard. Before the state tournament he only had offers from Morehead, Tennessee Tech, & WKU. Although I do hope we add him to put depth to our bench. I'm all for in-state kids, living out their dream & putting on that blue & white. Especially if they can contribute in the future. I don't expect to see him as a consistent starter at UK. Cal brings in top notch PG's every year. Thus far, Harrow has been a bust but you'll have those from time to time. He wasn't Cal's first & I'm sure he won't be his last. I don't expect Hawkins to come in & compete right away. You all shouldn't either, that's too much pressure on him.

As for Wiltjer, he just won SEC's 6th Man of the Year award. Cal stated that voting obviously was before the last week & he hopes it lights a fire for Kyle to play better.
