above are the player introductions^
Well I had a great time at the Derby Classic and found myself watching the action taking place on the Jumbo screen where fans could text messages to be displayed for everyone in Freedom Hall to see. I was disappointed however that my message, "T-Will has a 14 word vocabulary," never appeared on the Jumbo Screen but I will live.
The basketball action was good as well, and I was very impressed with Ater Majok. This guy is the real deal, not only do you recognize his length, athleticism, and immense talent. But his work ethic and competitiveness was very apparent as well, this guy plays to win. I also was very happy to see him throw the famous Ramel Bradley Dynasty Sign, after scoring a bucket. Majok knocked down two 3's had several nice mid range jump shots and a couple of dunks, but it was also impressive to watch him handle the ball running the floor. I would love to see Ater Majok and Patrick Patterson in our front court.
Paul McCoy impressed as well, and I've heard that his parents have been in Lexington all day. And they, "Love Billy Gillispie." The word is that McCoy cant wait to sign. Paul would give us a Perimeter threat and a great athlete the guy has the ability to get to the rim and his defensive ability is great.
DeAndre Liggins and Darius Miller didnt get many touches on the ball, but they will be ready to play at UK from day 1. They have great size for young men and Liggins ability to create and dish the ball is very impressive.
