Gotta think so, if a kid says they grew up 15 min from Rupp, is a legacy recruit, and has dreamed of playing here? Sounds like as locky of a lock you could get. I wasn't born in KY so I don't have a strong affinity for wanting to see KY kids on the team but it's obviously special to many of you guys and I still love to see it when they can contribute (Miller, Hawkins, Willis, as of late.)
Absolutely,he can play and WANTS to be a Cat.Everything your looking for.
His dad was actually the #1 rated football recruit in the ENTIRE country by most services his Sr year.
And, played VARSITY as a freaking 2nd grader 😂. And, that is 100% true.
At 7 years old he was playing against 18 year old's? I find that hard to believe
I don't remember a Dennis Jasper. Did he play with Jamal Bradley?
This kid is a better player then the ones you mentioned above, it seems KY struggle to play at UK. Hell, Tubby struggled to figure out how to play Rondo.
Did you read that???? lol They couldn't field a team lol. Everyone knows that's not legit, doesn't take a genius.
He still played. That’s all I said. Doesn’t matter why, or, how much he played. He was still a 2nd grader playing against 17-18 year olds. The enrollment size doesn’t change that. I knew the reasons & realize he wouldn’t have played if the school had the numbers. It’s still a cool & impressive fact, regardless. Nothing I said was wrong.
Alvis’s dismissal from UK by Mr. Barnhart did not go over well with the family when it first happened. Spoke to Derrick about it at an event once. Let’s just say at the time — he felt the same way about the UK AD as a lot of us do. Doubt that will impact JJ’s decision, it was a long time ago…but worth noting since Mitch is still here.
Dennis and Derrick were both in HS when I was in elementary school, same town. Our moms taught across the hall from one another. Dennis was a LIVING LEGEND in Harrodsburg, it was insane. Craig Yeast was just a couple years older than Dennis, another living legend Harrodsburg and UK football player. Julius Yeast was same grade as Dennis Johnson, committed to Ohio St. Just a ridiculous run of talent for Harrodsburg
I played on a basketball team in a league with Julius one season. We won the championship. He would play all out for like 3 minutes then need a break. But during those 3 minutes…forget about it.
