One year ago, who would have honestly thought that this Kentucky team was only going to lose one player to the draft?

Two players. Randle and Young

But yes, I know what you mean

I think Young will be the best of the group with Randle close behind.

No big surprise that the Harrison Twins are going back to Kentucky for Year 2. They are no where close to NBA ready. Good decisions made by both of them.

Good for healthy discussion, but no way that Kentucky is #1 next season. Kentucky with their roster last year ended the year I think #25, then did well in the tournament. Losing Randle and Young will hurt. Yes they have talented recruits coming in, they do every year, but until they actually produce in college it is very hard for me to see Kentucky as #1. Example the Harrison Twins really did not produce last year to the level of their expectations.

Duke will be #1, no questions asked. Duke will have a good mix of both experience, talented Freshman, and a coach that knows how to get the best out of his players. There will always be 4 or 5 teams in the mix for #1. Kentucky just won't be one of them.

Couldn't the exact same thing be said about Kentucky?

Remind me, didn't Kentucky make it to the NCAA tournament finals this year? It seems like they produced by the end of the year.

StandUp, wtf are you talking about? How did the Harrison's not perform to expectations? How did they underperform, they led a team of freshmen to the national championship...?
