The Impact on UK's Class Rankings

Well, signing 3 McD AA's has jumped UK's class to #1 by recruiting analyst Dave Telep (link here)............ Here's the Rivals story............... Hoopscoop online now has them #3 behind Memphis and Texas. Of course this site has ZERO credibility because they have GT #47 - absolutely crazy!!............ Here's the CNNSI article............. Macon Telegraph............. DeCoursey at Fox Sports.So what is reaction around the ACC - mixed. Most of it was of the flavor - "I'm glad because GT will be tough enough next year without Morris"............... The associated press.......... Here's the AJC version.......... From the Cincy Post................. Quotes from dad saying the relationship with Coach Hewitt and Reese was not as good as that with Tubby.......... Here is an article talking about the expectations of the program at UK and how it will be intensified even further.

Here is confirmation from RM's dad that Morris's brother could actually be headed to UK as a basketball manager............ Finally, Morris is quoted as saying something nice about Coach Hewitt. Notice Coach was out of town so could not comment........... Here are details about Morris and what some "are saying".

Well, what is the reaction on the ACC boards? Mostly this - "I am glad GT lost Morris because they are going to be tough enough without him"............ One thing for sure - they are eating up the comments about UK's "academic schemes".
