Someone who made an impact but whose time at UK has been largely forgotten for whatever reason.
I'll start with....Nerlens Noel

Name a random UK player from this century
- Thread starter FurdTerguson
- Start date
Several horrible choices here. Everyone remembers them.
Yeah, I remember all these guys. This is a challenging question for me to try to answer.
If they accomplished something, we are gonna remember them. Noel, we remember because of his injury and his dominant defense before that.
Most diehard Kentucky fans old enough to watch the last 25 years are going to remember anyone here who made an impact.
By largely forgotten I meant that no one talks about them any more. Any player that made a Final Four or went on to star in the NBA gets flowers all the time on here. Erik Daniels was a great choice. Played great for us. But when's the last time his name came up on here?
The most under rated 4 year player in the history of UK basketball:
Keith Bogans
Keith Bogans
Daniels wasn't a great 3-point shooter, made 19 in 4 years, but his interior passing would have thrived in Pope's system.
Desmond Allison
Perry Stevenson
Perry Stevenson
A quick search shows he’s brought up monthly on this board.
Bernard Cote. After 2 years at UK, transferred to Northwestern where he started 17 games in his 1 year there.
Ramel Bradley...1300 pt scorer, Top 30 all time
Smooth, Joe and Randolph Morris all three over 1k career points from the same recruiting class; Rondo would have joined them had he stayed one more season.

Wayne Turner. PG on 2 Nat Champion teams. I don't understand why he isn't celebrated more.
EJ Montgomery. Impact was limited. But still started for the Quickly 2020 team. 5 Star, Top 10 recruit. Actually played two years for Cal. Declared, not drafted, playing in Europe.
