I do think Tubby should put more effort in getting the best 2-3 players in this state every year or at least Mr. Basketball. If Tubby ever went to a State Tourny in Rupp he would see what basketball means in this state. The high school tourney draws a hug crowd every year. I agree that I don't think Pitino would have either except when hoo got the job UK was put on Probation and all the great stars left to get their own. The only players to stay were the Big Blue faithful, KY Boys and looked what happened. I would rather coach kids with a little less talent, great heart and determination over pure talent any time. These types of kids are coachable and want to learn they don't think they already know it all and just need some practice for the NBA. As for Lofton, I hope he continues to play well, he wasn't recruited by UK or UofL. I think Tennessee loves KY boys, Houston and Lofton are 2 of the best players to ever play at UT.
