Great point about Harris. I didn’t fault him for picking Saban. I didn’t fault Shaun Alexander for picking Alabama either. Both probably made the right business decision for their pro careers. But it’s also why guys like Jacob Tamme and Keenan Burton are still celebrated in this state nearly 20 years after they played here. And homegrown basketball players like Scotty Hopson are kind of forgotten. Guess we’ll find out what legacy means to Jasper very soon.I’m still stunned with this. Family is UK athletic royalty. Seems that Jasper would be jumping at the chance to play for UK rather than UK begging him to play for the top all time program.
If it’s all about 1 & done and how much nil maybe let him go. Might not bring the team first chemistry that UK is instituting. It’s a honor to be a homegrown Ky guy and get to play at UK. I would have thought he would have been like Perry, Sheppard, Moreno and Noah and couldn’t wait to put on that UK uniform.
Like to see him at UK but if he’s not all in for #9 do the Damien Harris thing but you won’t ever be fully celebrated in Ky.
Scotty Hopson is the most recent one I can think of.Has a top kid from Kentucky with an offer ever not ended up at Kentucky? Serious question.
Did UK really recruit Hopson?Great point about Harris. I didn’t fault him for picking Saban. I didn’t fault Shaun Alexander for picking Alabama either.

crazy commentHis parents failed him if he goes to UNC or Bama.

I am at the point if he doesn’t want to come here best of luck to him and it’s clear he prefers Alabama. How ironic a Kentucky kid that plays basketball would rather go to a football school, one word Wow.😮Not sure I can post this, but a certain recruiting guy seems to think UK has made up a ton of ground and are now equal in this race.
They are gonna suck me back into this recruitment 🤦🏻♂️
