By

With a coach's name like Joker Phillips, you know the Kentucky Wildcats are going to have a ton of players on the all name team (my favorite feature of the 77 in 77) and they don't disappoint with DTs Mister Cobble and Donte Rumph.

By

The top six players off the Kentucky Wildcats National Championship winning team will be among those taken in the 2012 NBA Draft.  That includes the sharpshooting Doron Lamb.  While he won't hear his name called early in the lottery like former teammates Anthony Davis or Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, or even in the mid-first round like Terrence Jones or Marquis Teague; Lamb is … [Read more...] about Doron Lamb: stepping out of Kentucky shadows into NBA Draft

Is Kentucky star Michael Kidd Gilchrist the Next Scottie Pippen?
