Kentucky Basketball Recruits

Kentucky basketball recruits are looking good so far in 2008. Andre Liggins and Miller are the stars of the class. In addition, it looks like UK may sign a player from Hampton, who has NBA potential. Kentucky basketball recruits will be treated just like all of Gillispie's other players. They will be expected to grow up in a hurry.

I expect to see many Kentucky basketball recruits transfer from UK in the future only because of Billy Gillispie's demanding style. He demands that players play with an unselfish attitude and he expects them to give total effort every practice.

That's a lot of expect from some of the pampered players coming into college from programs where they were a star and the focus of so much adulation.

Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of adulation in Lexington for Kentucky basketball recruits, but that adulation ends when they enter the practice floor for Billy Gillispie where they will run run run%u2026and run some more until they are sick.

Just ask Joe Crawford and Ramel Bradley, who thought they were Seniors with a privileged status at UK. These Kentucky basketball recruits were quickly sitting on the bench during games where they were needed.

Billy Gillispie would rather lose playing the right way, than win playing the wrong way. That was his early message to his players. I actually like that's good to see SOME people in this world still have character and do things the right way.

Kentucky basketball recruits can expect to improve beyond their wildest dreams if they can stick to Billy Gillispie's plan. He put formerly underachieving players from Texas A&M into the NBA.

He made Joe Crawford into a star that wasn't even recognizable compared to the past few years. It may be painful, but Kentucky basketball recruits have a lot to look forward to at UK.
