I should have added Derrick hord to my list met him at a golf courseMy all-time favorite was and is Cotton Nash - three-time All American. My second favorite is Johnny Cox from the 1958 NCAA Champs. A lot of the reason that I always liked Cox was that I saw him lead Hazard H.S. to the Championship of the State Tournament in 1955. Riley, Dampier, and Larry Conley. I always like Derrick Hord. He was a great player as a junior. Joe B. ruined him when he was a senior. Others: Gerald Fitch; Winston Bennett; Kenny Walker; Delk; Epps; Jeff Sheppard.
And I can't leave off "The Blur." I'll never forget seeing Dwight Anderson single-handedly take down Kelly Tripucka and No. 2 Notre Dame at Freedom Hall on December 30, 1978. Probably my favorite U.K. game of all time.
I always thought Bogans was the most overrated player for UK. He was good, but not that great. Kind of a ball hog, forced a lot of shots. Minimal assists.Antoine Walker isn’t getting nearly enough love here. Neither is Keith Bogans, arguably the greatest all around player ever at UK.
I actually agree with this. People can make the argument that Bogeys No. 4 on scoring list and all time leading scorer for guards at UK but I still feel like he's overrated as well. I feel like he and Prince both are but Prince had the UNC game, the 41 pt game against Tulsa and Bogans went 16-0 (19-0 counting SEC tourney) in 2003 so I understand the love they get but it always felt like to me that KB was out of control at times and would try to force things. He'd take some ill advise shots and if he missed he didn't mind he'd just jack up another one til he found the basket and Tubby would just let him do his thing. Then, I always kind of felt like him and Tayshaun was competing and playing a game within a game.I always thought Bogans was the most overrated player for UK. He was good, but not that great.
