From the way I understand it, they could all comeback. It would be nice to get at least a couple of them back.

CJ is playing his 3rd collegiate season this year. He never saw any official game time last season. CJ red-shirted 2018-19 at Iowa and played two seasons with Hawkeyes. He should be eligible for a COVID year.
I am simple when it comes to food (and many other things). Beans, potatoes, meat, eggs, and a few other things is all I need. I rarely eat lobster or crab when I go to Red Lobster (once a year, anniversary) I generally get the admiral's feast and take some of it home for later. My daughter gets the lobster or crab. My favorite fast food is KFC, but they too are getting expensive.
Yeah, fasting does that to me too. Think about it for a moment though. There are many things in the world today that point to the existence of God because the bible speaks of these things. Fasting is just one of many, and now doctors, nutritionist, and others suggest that we need do it for overall health and resetting of the system. Go figure.
Some of us older guys remember a little further back. My cousin and I used to pretend we were Johnny Cox and Vernon Hatton in our driveway games. I recall the older folks discussing the merits of Groza and Beard.
Yeah, that’s a great thing about being a Kentucky fan, Bernie. While Rupp’s Runts were the first team I remember from TV games and Cawood broadcasts, I recall my uncles and father sitting around talking about Beard and Cox and Hatton’s shot, and Cotton Nash and Cliff Hagan and on and on. When I stepped into Kentucky fandom it was like entering a river already wide and deep.
My first UK hero was Ralph Beard. He was a champion and would have been an immortal had he been allowed to play in the NBA. Bob Cousy became the premier point guard during that era and Beard was better and proved it.
I've had the good fortune to play golf with Ralph Beard a few times. That's back when I played golf. Haven't played a round in 20 years. Great guy. Very humble and couldn't have been nicer.My first UK hero was Ralph Beard. He was a champion and would have been an immortal had he been allowed to play in the NBA.

I doubt many UK fans today have heard of this man and know just how dominant he was in college basketball. UK does a horrible job of remembering and promoting their history.
I remember a story about Bobby Knight bringing Ralph Beard in to talk with one of his Indiana basketball teams of the 1980s. He introduced Ralph Beard to his team as "The Michael Jordan of his time."My first UK hero was Ralph Beard. He was a champion and would have been an immortal had he been allowed to play in the NBA.

I worked in Sales & Marketing at the railroad and we entertained folks in the best restaurants in North America and money was not the question. I never ordered lobster. If lobster was the only meat left I would eat it but there are so many better foods to my taste at a fraction of the cost. Crab cakes are good but I use them as an appetizer, not the main meal.
Add a simple but good tasting cornbread or biscuits with those meals and we are Gouda.
My Dad is 81 and still doing good. He's one of the reasons I retired. We have enjoyed plenty of fishing trips. But he has been slowing down this last year.
Thanks for linking this great article. Ralph Beard every bit as good as Rupp said he was and how could you be better than to be called "The Greatest Player I Ever Coached" by Adolph Rupp.I remember a story about Bobby Knight bringing Ralph Beard in to talk with one of his Indiana basketball teams of the 1980s. He introduced Ralph Beard to his team as "The Michael Jordan of his time."
That story is in this appreciation of Beard by SI when he died.
The story of Ralph Beard
One thing you have to know about Ralph Beard is that he was cheap -- and proud of it. He said he never got over what it was like to grow up poor in the Greatwww.si.com
You joined the right place when you came to the D League for stories. We are seasoned fans who go back 50 or 60 years. My father and grandfather became UK fans in the early years of UK. Grandpa in the early 1900's and dad in the 1920's. I was born into that heritage.
Great story Sawnee.Initially, he didn't know how to handle Rupp's sarcasm. He became so upset, in fact, that at some point in his freshman year, he went to Rupp and told him he was thinking about transferring to Louisville.
"Well, by Gawd, if you want to play at the Normal school, that's fine with me," Rupp said. "But I can tell you this -- the university will not cancel its basketball schedule because you are gone."
Yes before they were Little Brother they were The Normal School.
He was that good. He should have a statute if we are erecting statutes
They always say that the time you spend fishing does not count on your time on this earth! Tell you dad to fish more.
Which side is Canada?Good morning D-League. It's currently 34° and rainy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring more rain and a high of 43°.
Have a great day.
I go back almost 50 years, but at that time I was more about the Reds, Celtics, and Steelers. UK didn't have cards for their players. Dang, I sure wish I kept all of mine. I can remember trading something for someone's old baseball cards and had a ton from the 60's and a few from the 50's.
