When I had a chance to watch the guys practice last year I knew Kennedy and Moore were going to have a huge impact on this season but as I optimistic as I was about Kennedy I wasn't expecting this kind of production. He got off to a slow start but since the beginning of conference play he's been our best player.

As the announcers mentioned during the UCF broadcast, Kennedy has lost almost 50 pounds since arriving at SMU. He's becoming more athletic as the season goes and as his conditioning improves. He scores in the paint, rebounds like a center and always has that Philly toughness on the court. Also, since the start of conference play he's finishing around the bucket with dunks. Showing his improved athleticism. It's just another example of this staff knowing how to build a team with transfers who contribute at a high level in year one.

he is amazing - would really hate to have to handle this guy if you were on the other team. My favorite on the team. Also the first off the bench to congradulate his teammates.

Would make a hell of a defensive end and/or tight end.

Wouldn't surprise me if he's at SMU for just one more...

Can't wait for the rematch with Cinci and Kennedy playing against their big man. That should be quite a match up.

I was talking about this with a friend of mine. He has no affiliation with SMU, just a big college bball fan and he's convinced MK has NBA talent. I'm coming around on that thought. He needs to work on his mid range game to get in that discussion though.

i don't really see him in the NBA - he can't play under the basket in the NBA and he doesn't have the ball handling to play away. I think he will do very well in europe.

he is getting better, I'm just not sure he'll be ready until graduation at least...
