All that needs to be said about the ineptness of Tubby Smith and recruiting is to look at the Micky D list and see that 2 MDAA's power forwards are uncommitted and just what does UK need the most on their 'wish list'? A power forward. NONE of these guys want's to play Tubby ball, and who could blame them. I sure wouldn't either if I was deciding on a college that would 'enhance' my chances of getting to the next level. In order for UK to get back up to the level of prominence of the UNCs and Dooks of the basketball world, they first must get rid of Tubby and get someone who can RECRUIT. Tubby ball is BORING and no HSAA want's to play it. Plain and simple.

Just because those two guys are "uncommitted" they are actually pretty stuck on their choice already, just not verbaled..UK needs a center too, because then morris drops to the 4 spot...And Tubby is going after Phil Jones who is a beast if you'd look into him, but since you judge everything by McDonalds I guess you wouldn't know that...Tubbys system isn't the most exciting but if the players applies it, then it works! It has before, and it did the last 3 years, and it did when he took over Pitino's team..By the way on that 1998 Championship team....1 McDonalds All-American was on that roster and his name was Wayne Turner...Contrary to popular belief people do pretty good without McDonalds All Americans on their roster...
