If you are a top-notch recruit - talented enough to start in most programs - KY might be the place for you. You can get your minutes and exposure. However, if you actually need time to develop your game, you might want to think twice. Unless you can develop in practice, the off-season and sitting on the bench, the UK machine does not allow a "Luke" in their system. Luke Schenscher couldn't happen at UK. A "project" will not make it at UK. Just look at Bernard Cote, who is transferring. Look at the two 7-footers who sat on the bench last year. How much time do you see them getting next season? Will one of them become the next Luke? No way. Don't bet on it. I'm not even sure that an Isma'il or Mchenry would happen at UK.
Read this story from a Vandy site. A lot of truth - certainly some sour grapes from the Vandy writer, but truth is the truth.
