07 Big man looking good for UK

Wow, here I thought there was no way that we'd add another player for 07 and Leonard Washington's name starts poping up. It sounds like this kid is similar to Chuck Hayes or Charles Barkley where as he is 6'6"/225 but can work the post like a guy much larger. Known for rebounding and using his body well. He is finishing up summer school so that he can quailify for 07 and things are looking good. Here is a clip of him:

Been slacking

So I've been slacking on the blog, guess the new wore off a little. Here are the catch-up tidbits:

UK gets a verbal commitment from Rose Hill's (Ky school) Dakotah Euton (pronounce oot-en). Euton is 6'7"/200 and a 2010 recruit, yes two thousand ten.

UFC had a great Fight Night Live and what sounded like a meh PPV from Ireland. The FNL main event was Fisher vs Stout and it was a war. The undercard bouts were all good, with some crazy knockouts. Didn't get the PPV cause it didn't seem exciting, but sounded like mostly decisions.

UFC Ultimate fighter is this weekend, and I am really looking forward to it. Pulling for Jens and Nate Diaz mostly because BJ and Manny both get on my nerves. Haven't heard who they have put as the undercard on this but usually some fun match ups of guys that were on the show. Would love to see them bring Gabe back to get his ass beating that he deserves, just as long as he doesn't get any fame or money from the fight. Hate that guy.

As for my personal stuff, had been playing some decent golf till I went to Old Silo this past weekend. I sucked it up bad and Brandon handed my ass to me 77 to 86 IIRC. If anyone knows of any good golf scramble around the Lexington area let me know. Its been a while since I have played in any and I am getting the shakes! Not that anyone reads this, but nice to make believe that anyway.

Donovan to Magic a blessing for Jai Lucas?

Well I think Jai Lucas just got an early Christmas present plopped strait into lap. I could be wrong but I think he has been regretting his decision to go to Florida after PPat signed with the Cats. And now that Billy D is headed to Orlando I think Jai could get out of his LOI if he wants to. Surely he'll see what the Gator's new coach has to say and I would not be surprised either way.

As for my preference, I am fine either way. At first I didn't want him, but I have resorted to trusting Coach Gillispie. If he feels JL is worthy of a ride, by all means sign him up. There are some rumors of a South American PG that is working on qualifying for 07 that UK could have a chance at. This kid is supposed to be a possible one-and-done high lottery pick, I'd be all for it. Hell give us both with a little BCG scholarship magic.
