I have watched Landon play since he was in the 6th grade and there is no doubt he has the heart of a lion and wants to compete at a high level. I think the kid is a solid player and played well during his minutes in a Kentucky uniform. However, his minutes mostly came pre-SEC season and most can agree that the SEC was down this year. Slone had problems in games against bigger, quicker players even in high school. UK has gone from a subpar SEC team that bearly made the NIT to loaded with talent and becoming a major force in the NCAA and thus no room left on the bench. I do think Coach Cal could have handled that a little better. I hope he can make the MSU team and get minutes but I think MSU has also started to make a move up in their talent level and this years team not only made the NCAA tourny field but competed for a big part of the game so I think it will be tough for Slone there as well. I love to watch the kid play, he is a fine young man and hope nothing but the best for him no matter where he goes.

Perfectly said. Landon played every second on the court like it was his last. He never gave up. And he truly has a heart of a lion.
