Yep. Would have been a solid backup.No. He's a really nice little point guard though.
Lofton was a huge miss on our part.I hate when we lose out on in-state talent, but it happens.
And it's not a Cal thing.
Fishback with Pitino, Lofton with Tubby, Hopson and Mack with BCG. The list goes on and on.
I spoke with his great-uncle this past Friday out in Whitesburg.Played at PCC and moved to Hargraves Military Academy. He was dominanting the 14th region and couldn’t get noticed so he had to move out of state.
Rondo, Crawford, Bradley. Which one would you have looked at and said 'No thanks, I'm taking this unranked kid because he's close to home."Lofton was a huge miss on our part.

Lofton would not have manned up to Bogut like Smooth did.Bradley every day.
One of few top notch recruiting classes for Tubby, had it been any other year, Lofton would've been one of our top recruits.Rondo, Crawford, Bradley. Which one would you have looked at and said 'No thanks, I'm taking this unranked kid because he's close to home."

This. Also, regarding Beverly, we'll be getting that shooting with Herro next year.Not really. We got Rondo. Most everyone would’ve picked Rondo over Lofton at that time. Sure, Chris was around longer and may have been a great player here but Rajon was still pretty damn good. Hindsight is 20/20.

Are you kidding, a white kid from eastern Ky. not a chance !20 points tonight in a win vs Arizona. Did we recruit him?

To be fair no one around here recruited him..uk,uofl, or cincy.Lofton was a huge miss on our part.
No, nor should UK have.20 points tonight in a win vs Arizona. Did we recruit him?
Agree about hindsight recruiting after the recruit proves the rating system wrong. The kid could get his shot off against almost any defender. Would take a keen eye to see his potential to shoot better than 42% from three point range with defenses targeting him. Crawford and Bradley each shot 35% with a much better surrounding cast than Lofton. Unfortunately we didn’t have a crystal ball to recruit with.which player should we not have taken to recruit Lofton #146 3 star
#9 Crawford 5 star
#25 Rondo 5 star
#91 Bradley 3 star
revisionist recruiting is never wrong, but at the time all three of our guards were better prospects
You are welcome. Anytime I can address your BS, I will try to.K. Thanks.
When we win a national title without an in-state kid contributing, significantly, it will be a first. 8there are few guys looking UK worthy. Bolden at WVU, Holingsworth at WKU. Hard to complain about anything Cal does and some will cry and cry around about not having Kentucky boys.I Dont care how we do it as long as we win.
Much obliged. Have a fantastic day.You are welcome. Anytime I can address your BS, I will try to.
nobody would have known he was a huge miss...because he wouldn't have been given the same opportunities here due to the ridiculous notion that Kentucky high school basketball players arent talented. He would have been another Brandon Stockton, Josh Carrier ect.....not saying Lofton wasnt more talented...just saying he would have been more than likely been viewed the same. Even by the fans...Lofton was a huge miss on our part.
No we shouldn’t. Then what happens when none of those guys are good enough to contribute but after a handful of years are comprising about half of our roster? Give the scholarships to the guys Cal thinks fit our team. Period.I think we should take the best players. But we aren't getting 13 5* players in every class. I think we should have at least 1 scholarship player from the state of Kentucky. This is probably the first year in history we haven't had one (Brad doesn't count).
I spoke with his great-uncle this past Friday out in Whitesburg.
How'd we miss him?
