WAY to go Tayshaun:thumbup:

[freethrow]

Glad for Tay. I hope he does very well. :thumbup::thumbup:

[BGandBLUE]

Great for Tay...the kinda team player our Olympic team needs. To bad he has to put up with Coach K for a few months.

This is a very big big deal. Congratulations Mr. Prince.

Still remember all the Louisville fans saying he wouldn't make it in the NBA....

[lighthouse]

Very proud of you Tayshaun! Bring home the GOLD!

[AshlandTomcat41]

All that time I spent tutoring him in Algebra really paid off!! Haha

CONGRATS!!!!

I'm so proud of you, Tayshaun. :) Too, what a nice week it has been for former basketball Cats! Rajon gets a championship ring, and Tayshaun is placed on our country's Olympic team. :)

Congrats to Tayshaun for making the team! Although it was largely a popularity contest, I certainly hope we can bring home the gold.

Oddly, only three PF/C made the squad (Boozer, Howard, Bosh). I know Amare Stoudemire withdrew but I don't see how these few numbers can prevail against the bigger teams from So. America and Europe.

:thumbup: Congratulations Mr. Prince...even if I wasn't a Wildcat fan I would think this is an awesome addition to our Olympic team...a true team player to go with all those huge egos. Am I correct that Sam Bowie was the last Wildcat to make the Olympic team (the year we boycotted):icon_question:

[kentuckyforthewin]

I think he will do great. GO Prince!

[colonelcatfan]

Thrilled for Tay and for the KY program!!!

Question...is he the first former Cat on the Olympic team as an NBA player?

Who was the last college Cat to make the team.

I'm sorry to say that I don't have a clue.

[Terry L. Wildcat]

Adrian Smith was the last Wildcat to play in the Olympics in 1960...Sam Bowie was on the 1980 team but we boycotted that Olympics.
