Would like Keith to be back for his shooting and just in case Emelogu is just as bad next year. Tough to rely on and expect freshmen to be starters or even consistent contributors, regardless of talent (Mudiay would have been an exception).

I hope Keith comes back. He made a lot of improvement over the past year and I still
think he has a very high upside potential. His spirit and attitude have been good for the
team. He seems to be maturing as a person.

From all I've read and heard, he has never seemed to be interested in being a good student,
but people can change and maybe he will take the opportunity. God bless him - I hope he
can continue to improve on the court and in the classroom.

Only rivaled by not recruiting Frazier to begin with. If that's how you have to bend over for locals, eff them

yes, its been pretty obvious lately...they all went to A&M for 2015


Other than Davis, who really never considered us, who cares? We're loaded next year if we keep the roster together

He can come back and wave that towel, but put him in his frosh year role. He's not a starter

LB flat made a mistake giving Frazier Sterlings minutes early this year. Brown was a hoss last year and deserved to be on the floor. Our signature is defense and ball movement. Keith doesn't thrive at either of those. He certainly made strides this year in his game, but we're a better team when he sits behind Sterling


Agree but continuing to sit KF wouldn't sit well in Dallas graasroots circles


Dallas grassroots has given us nothing but headaches...


Agree with you, just stating consequences

Mudiay not coming here with all of his baggage was a good thing, but flatly saying his not coming here was a good thing is simply wrong.

Are you suggesting there is a way he could have come without his baggage? That seems impossible, but is the only way your post makes any sense.

If someone can come up with a detailed and accurate accounting of that "baggage" I and others would happily answer that question. Seems like a lot of conjecture that the baggage was too much. Also, don't other big time reqruits all come with "baggage"? I am sure this years Kentucky roster is full of student-athletes with no "baggage". Right?

Kentucky most likely has a lot of experience in the "bag handling" business.

Nowhere did I say he should be a starter. He can be a very good reserve who can come into
specific situations. I still would like to see him come back.
