He didn't get an offer from either Kentucky or Louisville.

I think he may have had an early offer from Louisville, but we wanted to play for UK and Louisville moved on.

True. What's the chances of Hubbols being McDonald's AA's. And would that be the first time having two at the same time?

To answer your last question, Scotty and Tobias.

Charles Hathaway, Tony Harris, and VIncent Yarbrough? 96, 97, & 98.

I think he was asking about two in the same class. Not sure if UT has pulled that off.

Can't believe Hathaway was a mcd's AA. He struggled in pickup games against non college players when he was in college

Just read a tweet that said if we land Nichols and JW3, we could have a Kentucky-esque recruiting class on our hands for '13.

Hubbs dad did allude to the fact that more would come after he committed.

:small boom:

I thought the most UofL ever offered was a chance to walk on.

The injury his freshman year really destroyed any potential he ever had. He was a giant body and had tremendous potential. Never developed after the injury though.

In that case, it's never happened. I thought he was talking about on the same team.

Wasn't Valparaiso our main competition for Lofton?

I thought they offered a scholly early on, but he strung them along and they offered him the walk-on position later. It's been a long time now, so I may be off on the particulars.

Wasn't Lofton Mr. Basketball in Kentucky? I find it hard to believe he wasn't recruited heavily, that dude could shoot the lights out.

Yes he was and he beat their arse a few times too; along with the NC Gators.

I think Pitino actually admitted when asked by reporters later on that he made a mistake by not offering Lofton.

Ok. I admit, I may be a little fuzzy on the particulars.

Yeah it was hard to believe also when I first heard it, but it is the truth! Kentucky didn't even recruit him and he was from Kentucky!

 

[Mr.Vol2U]

Vincent Yarbrough actually went to my high school I was a freshman when he was a junior and he was the #1 junior in the nation and the #2 player his senior year and look how far that got Tn NOWHERE! So just because your this almighty recruit you still have to have a team of players willing to learn, know they role, and have a will to want to win!! I think we will be pretty good for the next few years CCM has this team really believing!!

Yea I think he was talking about 2 in the same MCD game, not same Tennessee team.

Would be awesome, and great for the program, plus Hubbs in the dubk contest.
