How Many UK Players get Drafted 1st Round 2nite?

• cats gone wild

  I say 4 out of 5.
  
  Orton is in hot water with UK fans,but it doesnt matter now.
  
  And.......what would be better, Cal recruiting 5* one and dones or recruiting 4* 2-3 year players? He is always going to get the 5*'s but will he ever win the tourney with freshmen?

  They'll definitely get four. If Orton doesn't go he'll be one of the first picks in the second round.

  5 will get drafted in the first round IMO, and I'd prefer the 5* players even if you lose them year after year. In most cases, talent trumps just about anything else.
• cats gone wild

  4 in the first 18 so far.

  Impressive by UK, but Florida's championship team had 3 of the first 9 selections in 2007 and UNC's title team had 4 of the first 14 in 2005 so it's not like they are doing something unheard of.

  5 in the first round with 4 freshman is unheard of

  Amazing...that much talent, and not even a final four to show for it. As for the debate...no one is going to turn down that freshman talent. But with a turnover like this, and if it continues, its a longshot a team can win a title with that many frosh. IMO, you need to hvae a good mix as far as talent, and experience/upperclassman. Thats pretty much been proven.

  Calipari will get his title, sooner rather than later.

  The freshman part is unheard of, having 5 first rounders is great but like I said, in the past 5 years Florida had 3 of the first 9 and UNC had 4 of the first 14. Both of those are just as impressive if not more impressive than Kentucky's 5 first rounders IMO.
