Did UK or Louisville even recruit this Kentucky kid? 6’6” and running the point with composure for Auburn. Really good looking player in my mind.

I haven't seen that kid yet, but I did watch several SEC games this week. It's amazing the kids knocking down 3-pointers with ease. One of the schools (maybe Ole Miss) has a 7'3" center who can shoot 3's. We better play some really good defense in the upcoming SEC games if we plan on winning because there's a lot of talent in our league.

Justin Powell from Oldham county. He wasn't rated high enough for Cal to see over the top shots. Maybe if he and his crew would take a better look at the in state kids and get over the saying "white kids can't jump" we might just have a team that would be around for more than 1 year??? Shot 50% from the floor and 55% from 3 line. Sounds about like just what this team needs.

Powell averages 12.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5 assists and only 2.8 turnovers per game. He's 19-40 shooting 3-pointers for 47.5%. This should be a kid that plays for UK, but he'd just sit the bench under Cal.

Wow. Another miss for Cal.

He needs to hire a coach with some local connections. All the previous coaches cultivated strong ties with HS programs in the state. Cal could care less.
