I think it's a good hire. I'm excited about next season!:D

His resume looks good and they say he's really good at recruiting. That's something Tubby couldn't do. He had Utep and Texas A&M competitive in no time. Let's see what he can do with our Cats. At least his style of play will be better to watch.

I agree his resume is impressive and every person that has written about him makes a comment about what a "GREAT" recruiter he is. An SEC coach that wished to remain "anonymous" said it is scary to think how good Billy's recruiting classes will be now that he has Kentucky on his back. He is divorced w/ NO kids and works about 18 hours a day as basketball is his life. Only know what I've read about him, but I'm excited about what he has to bring to the program.

I like his style. I heard a couple of ESPN interviews and he seems to be high energy. Just what we need. Oh speaking of ESPN. Has anyone else heard all the bad things the comentators have been saying about Ky basketball and the fans? Evidently our expectations are unreasonable!

I think ESPN is very biased against UK. They prefer the ACC.

I believe you are exactly right! They always have leaned toward the ACC!

It's not just ESPN being critical of the SEC. Billy P"ACC"Ker, has got to be the worst. I couldn't stand listening to him during the championship game. As far as our expectations, what they fail to realize is our tradition and love for the game developed years ago. Kentucky fans are passionate about the Cats and we do expect to other teams to dread playing us at least. Should be some good times ahead once he get's a few more players.
