Hump Links - Start of August Edition

August has finally arrived, oh how time flies.

The start of a new basketball season is slowly inching closer upon us.

In the meantime…

Here is this week’s edition of ‘Hump Links’.

No Regrets
K.C. Ross-Miller has no regrets in committing early to Kentucky.

I know most guys don’t commit this early, but I felt like it was just a great situation. Coach Gillispie treated me right, and I just think it was the best thing for me to do. I am excited.”

A Good Change?
Former Kentucky Wildcat Bobby Perry was recently questioned and asked… Was Tubby Smith leaving Kentucky a good change for the UK basketball program?

I do think it was good. I think this time not only will guys buy into the program, but also they’ll buy into Billy Gillispie and the guys he brought with him to coach. I don’t know how one human being withstood the pressure coach Smith did for as long as he did. It’s probably good for him, too, to go to Minnesota and have a new challenge to get him going.”

Overrated
Jody Demling gives his list of the ‘Most Overrated‘ Kentucky recruits ever.

I won’t spoil it, so go take a look and see if you agree.

Notables
Dan Wiederer has some notable observations from the AAU events out on Vegas.

The story mentions that Chris Singleton, who was the Adidas tournament’s MVP, has Kentucky in his final five

Class of 2008
According to Scout.com…Kentucky shouldn’t expect a verbal from Terrance Jennings anytime soon, but if they can manage an early commitment, they should take it and run.

Scout ranks Jennings as the #12 center in the class of 2008.

His top three consist of Kentucky, Maryland and Washington.

The Prince
Wildcats Thunder Blog has their ‘Game of The Week‘.

This week features the contest between Kentucky and UNC from 2001.

If you remember this like I do, then you will know this was the game that Tayshaun Prince simply layeth the smackdown on the Tarheels.
