The House of Blue

Thanks Chris. Did you get any kind of feel as to where he WANTS to go? He did use "we" when he said "I don't mind sitting on the bench but if they stay, we'll have a really deep roster." Probably means nothing, but I wouldn't be a UK fan if I didn't read into everything an 18-year-old recruit says! I can't imagine we get both Jones and Knight back-if that's the case, would we get Lacey? Can't wait to actually know what next year's roster will look like...either way, we're gonna be loaded.

Cal won't recruit someone just to keep them off an opponents roster. If he's seriously recruiting this kid, which definately seems to be the case, he fully intends to play him. I think Knight is 90% gone, so, that would leave a 3 man rotation of Teague, Lamb and Lacey at the guard spot. Lamb will play alot of point guard if Knight leaves, freeing up some pretty good minutes for Lacey. He would be an integral part of the rotation, imo, for a title run caliber team. That has to be very attractive to a recruit, not to mention being set for life being a UK alum.

The kid obviously wants to come to UK but sees one stacked team at the moment. For UK to even be in with Lacey with what we've already got speaks to our prowess on the recruiting trail. Could you imagine this 5 years ago? We were desperate and begging with spots open for playing time. We've come a long way.

You don't see it as stacked and I don't see it as stacked and the UK fane base don't see it as staked but to a kid who is really good and wants to play significant minutes next year, he sees it as stacked or he would have already made the commitment.

Plus, he will not take Lamb's spot away. Lamb, as I have said before, if he does some work in the weight room and the like, will IMO be our leading scorer next year. I love his game. Lacey, who's game I do love also, is probably a "catch and shoot," and "catch 1 or 2 dribble and shoot" type guy right now from what I've seen.

He would acutally fit in very nicely here and his coming would pay great dividends for himself and UK for the next 2-3 years.

Being from Huntsville, I appreciate the article... we feel we owe UK one since the Marvin Stone thing didn't work out so well.

However, I don't know where the idea came in that "Not even severe weather could keep Coach Cal from visiting Lacey"... it was bad here on Friday, but by Sunday.... ALL of the severe weather was gone.

Go Big Blue!

Update: Lacey had an in-home visit with Kansas coach Bill Self Monday.

Now being reported he is going to take a visit to Kansas. You're mind could absolutely explode trying to read and analyze all the possible scenarios. Makes you wonder if Cal is in just as much of a wait-and-see mode as the fans... probably not.. but possible
