Concerning the matter as whether or not Landon is an SEC caliber player, who would have thought that Deron Feldhaus, Richie Farmer, and John Pelphrey were true SEC caliber players, especially this early in their careers? One thing Landon has that you can't teach is the heart of a lion. There is a difference in players who are persuaded to come to UK and players who would walk to Lexington to play for the blue and white. Landon is one of those who would have walked. You can't coach that, you can't teach that. That comes naturally, and that is why that he will improve and be a major contributor to UK basketball before he leaves.

If BG could get the heart of Landon into all of the other players, just imagine how good UK could be. Landon may not necessarily be a major D1 talent coming out of high school, but he has plenty enough talent to get a lot of PT in the SEC. Effort and heart mixed with some talent will take you further than schollies that could care less about the UK tradition or won't put out the effort because they think they are too good! Landon knows what he can do and what he can't, he plays smart, he knows that the harder he works the more he can make up the talent gap, he can shoot as good as anyone else on the team, and last but certainly not least - he knows what UK basketball means!!! Hopefully he will keep the effort level up and see lots more PT!
