When you think of UK basketball, of course people are gonna start talking about how hyped up they are about Coach Cal, and new freshman Brandon Kight, and Enes Kanter. Something that is going unnoticed to most, an the job that Coach Mather Mitchell is doing with the womens team.

Coach Mitchell is building a team that could challenge for the 2011 national title.

-Back is 4 of 5 starters off of an UK womens team that made it to the elite eight.

-84% of the scoring returns for the wildcats (62/73 ppg)

-Returning for the Lady Cats are SEC POY Victoria Dunlap

-Also returning for Coach Mitchell is SEC FOY Adia Mathis (Iroquois High)

-UK women also inked their first ever McDonalds ALL American last week (PG - Jennifer Oneil)

-Coach Mitchell has gotten commitments from 4 players in the ESPNU top 100(Jennifer Oneil , Laquinta Jefferson, Kastin Evans, and Samantha Drake-Nelson Co.)

-UK has also recieved a letter of Intent from KY Miss Basketball Sarah Beth Bartnette ( LCA)

Coach Mitchell is doing an outstanding job, and I figured it would be great to post this, because the girls dont always get the most pub, with how great Coach Cal is doing with the guys. IMO UK hoops will contend for a final four , and national title in mens and womens basketball next season.

:Thumbs:irateSho:rockon: I agree 100% with you. They will be scary in the SEC next year for sure. I hope they do well, and we need another big time win next year to get more recruiting for the 2011/2012 season.
