It is funny to hear that it looks like Reeves will commit tomorrow. He is still officially with Kentucky so it is basically not NBA but back to UK. I know its not a big deal but everyone is making it sound like we are getting this big-time commit like a Dickinson, Kaluma, or Nelson. I am not as worried at the 1-3 positions as the PF and Center. Hopefully Burks comes in and is one of the Freshman that everyone overlooked with scoring in double digits at OTE and before that at Hillcrest Southern California Academy (California). Burks in his full 40-game schedule for Hillcrest this season averaged 28.2 points per game and connected on 41% from 3-point range. At OTE Burks scored 27 and 9 but shot 27% from 3 unlike at Hillcrest in 40 games shooting 41% from 3.
I thought Joey Hart being a 3-4 year player would still come to UK even if Reeves decides to come back to UK. This year having Reeves back to go with Sheppard, Wagner, Edwards, and if Hart that would be multiple 3-point shooters that we could bring in if say Reeves is having an offnight shooting like in the KSU Tourney game. I am more concerned at the 4 and 5 with having Bradshaw/Burks and Ugo/Cyril if he commits at the 4 and 5. If we could have grabbed just one from Nelson, Dickinson, Kaluma, and the other PF's then if Reeves is back that would have put UK in Top 5 next season. Why not go after Louisiana 6'11 Jordan Brown in his last 14 games he averaged 21 and 11? Brown scored 16 and 7 vs. UT in 1st round NCAA Tourney 3-point loss to UT.
