Kyle Wiltjer stayed up until 2:30 AM to watch the UK game.

Wiltjer only transferred out of necessity. He knew Julius Randle was on the way. You can't play him, but I often wonder how a 4 out offense would have worked with Randle and Wiljter in the same frontcourt.
Pretty well IMO, that team probably would have been put over the top having him help and his shooting. He was really good as a Junior.
 
I wish we could have had a chance to see Wiltjer play in the more modern offense we are running now. I think he would have thrived in this offense, as he did at Gonzaga. I would have also played zone more to help him out on the defensive end of the court. The guy was a great college basketball player and sometimes I wish we had adapted our approach to better take advantage of his strengths and minimize his weak areas.
 
I also remember he committed to UK sight unseen when we offered, when asked latter he said" It was Kentucky" always need guys who feel that way.
