I know that most people believe that the college basketball season is over but I am from Kentucky, and that means that college basketball is never over.  There is basketball season, and then there is getting ready for next season.

Signs in action

A week ago the UK Alumni Association, the group I watch all the games with, organized an event to watch the Jordan Brand Classic and welcome our incoming Kentucky players.  Bruce and his parents made some awesome signs, and we went out to the Barclays center to let these kids know they had support behind them.  We also made a sign and cheered for Wiggins too so that he could feel the support of the Big Blue Nation.

The game was a dunk-fest, as are all national high school all-star games.  It was still awesome to watch the raw athletic abilities of these kids on the floor.  Julius Randle, who is coming to Kentucky, was a co MVP of the game with 19 points, and showed an amazing skill set.  We were also lucky enough to sit next to Dakari Johnson’s family and show them the support we would be giving him next year.  After the game he came up to hug his family and then came over to the fan group and gave hugs and high fives.  Miles gave him a high five and it looked like he was slapping hands with a baseball met.  Can’t wait to see him work his magic as a center for Kentucky next year!  Go Big Blue baby!

Then some guy named Drake performed but I only wanted to cover important things.
