I know what you mean. After a few misses, this one is sweet. I was very nervous about St. Louis, but I am so glad to get this guy to help out Patterson. This takes a big load off of him. Next year is starting to look better and better. This was a HUGE get!

Does anybody have any video on this kid.. It looks like Scouts.com only gave him a 1 star rating.

Hey not trying to be negative but...we know the kid is big but can he play and compete in the SEC? Please dont misunderstand what Im saying here as I know some here think you should never question anything but while im glad we added a big man,part of me wonders what the fuss is about? I also welcome him, just thinking to myself... can he play? I have been through this so many times. I was on cloud 9 last year after seeing a pic of big mike.

He is not a super star and he won't WOW you on the court. But he is a need filling recruit. A big body, who has good hands, a good passer, can take pressure off Patrick in the paint, not afraid to put a body on you. He is very efficient. Think Marquis Estil.

Now it starts. The road back to where we belong. The place we as cat fans feel we belong. We will be hanging No. 8 soon and maybe contending next year. BCG has done a marvelous job so far and the doubters will be silenced that were conserned about the ones that were "getting away". Well in about 2 hours BCG has gotten some great players on board. GREAT JOB BILLY.

If this young guy is as talented as "Quis, then he is a great addition

Josh Harrellson signs with Wildcats

He said in a phone interview tonight that he chose the Wildcats over St. Louis, and that the papers "are being faxed right now" to UK. More

Your mind must have gone blank to put Cat Fans in small letters. If you don't mind, don't let it happen again, we are KENTUCKY!
