No, when you get a new coach that runs a new system, and you have two players that are out with injuries, what do you expect to do? Billy Gillespie was the right man for the job and he is going to do great things at Kentucky, once players like DeAndre Liggins, Darius Miller, GJ Varilino, KC Ross-Miller, and Dakotah Euton, are in the blue and white, Kentucky will be a top team, I guarantee it. I wish some Kentucky fans had the basketball knowledge to realize that.

Now lets compare this 07-08 Kentucky team to the 04-05 North Carolina team. Matt Dougherty was the coach of the Tar Heels and he had that team at a low point, and once Roy Williams was hired everything changed. Not so much in his first year, but in his second season as the UNC head coach, the Tar Heels won the national championship. I'm not saying UK will win the final four next year, but I'm saying they will be a team that will be much better.

Imagine this.

PG- Derrick Jasper (Backups- GJ Varilino, Micheal Porter)
SG- Jodie Meeks (Backups- KC Ross-Miller, ???)
SF- DeAndre Liggins (Backups- ???)
PF- Darius Miller (Backups- Perry Stevenson, Dakotah Euton, Mark Coury)
C- Patrick Patterson (Backups- Mike Williams, ???)

And that whole lineup could change drastically if Scotty Hopson and Chad Jackson decide to come to UK.

Within the next five seasons Kentucky will make the final four and bring home #8!
