Can we get Trae and Tremont?

Is it possible that Trae will announce at Midnight Madness?

It seems that we are late to the table with Tremont, can we succeed in getting him to come to UK?

I wish Green and Young was possible. Think Cuse lands Green

I'm sure I am in the minority here, but I don't see both Young and Waters signing with the same school. I certainly understand why Kentucky fans like the idea, but it just doesn't make sense that a guy who can start immediately at almost any school in the country would want to be a 2nd string point guard. I think Waters is waiting to see what Young decides. But it will be interesting to see what happens if Waters wants to commit to Kentucky in November and Young wants to wait.

The same could have been said for Ulis. And keep in mind, Waters is a very good player, but he's a top 50 guy, not top 10 and he's under 6'. He could start some places right away but if he wants go to a top school, he knows he'll likely have to wait a year or so to start. I could easily see a kid like that going where he's seen the coach have tremendous success getting point guards into the NBA.

Waters knows at UK he will get prepared, developed and groomed to play in the NBA. At most the those schools he would "start immediately", he wouldn't get that

I think there is a good chance that UK can get both Young & Waters. With the success of Ulis and being drafted as high as he did a lot of guards want to be at UK.

Makes sense....after Tyler's success that Young believes he is one-and-done as well (and may well be).

As for Waters, I hope his thinking is that at UK his prep for the next level will be best achieved due to coaching, skills improvement by practicing against some of the best players at college level, playing in high level games, exposure to the pro scouts via massive TV coverage and scouts in the stands.

I would love for both to be at UK- I have a feeling that it would be great for both of them and BBN!
