Connecticut and Tennessee are the latest schools to offer 2016 five-star forward Miles Bridges according to the Twitter account of his assistant coach Ryan Arrowood of Huntington (W.V.) Prep.

The 6-6, 210-pound combo forward has offers from numerous schools but is considered a heavy Michigan State lean by the Crystal Ball. He came to Huntington Prep from Flint, Michigan.

I thought the Subject meant UConn was offering prized recruits Frequent Flier Miles but for less sophisticated recruits UConn's enticement: bridges ie. Brooklyn

Strange coming from a poster with the first name The. Do you have any idea how many kids were named after Miles Davis. And don't worry there are still enough Mikes and Johns around.

I think Miles Promises or Miles Walls would be more in that realm, at least regarding frosty poetry.

It only took one post to go off-topic in a thread designed for a recruit.


That has got to be a new record.

He noted that Michigan State, Iowa State and UConn are recruiting him the hardest, though he has offers from several other major programs.

“I like it,” he added about UK. “They’ll get you NBA ready fast.”

I'm being serious when I ask this, but who has Calipari ever developed (coached fully for 2+ years) that got drafted/ turned into a good NBA player that wasn't already going as the number lottery pick or a first round pick? Wall, Cousins, Davis, Bledsoe, Noel, Rose,Randal, Young, etc they were all already going as lottery picks or first round picks coming out of high school...

We could beat this to death - he doesn't, we know it's myth but kids nowadays and the people who are supposedly looking out for them don't get it obviously. they're too lovestruck by seeing The Squid!

Just playing devils advocate, but Josh Harrelson had had a nice cup of coffee in the NBA. He is the only one however.

What's funny is that he made it as a three-point shooting center, and he never shot jumpers at UK. He became a different player in the NBA.

I will say, though, that as much as we would care not to admit it, UK can easily sell their situation and it's tough to counter-sell. "You go up against NBA-level players in practice every day, our offense is designed around one on one skills, we have a full row of NBA scouts at every single home game, just look at how our way has worked for all of these guys, etc." If they let kids go pro right out of high school again, UK would lose the "gimmes" that they currently send to the pros after a few months in Lexington, and it would be a bit more interesting, but the rules are more likely to change to two and done, than none and done, if they change.

I don't know why we're still arguing about the merits of going to Kentucky.

Kids want to go there.

Accept it.

Darius Miller also had a cup. Joey Dorsey, CDR also made the NBA at various times. Can't think of anyone else.

He missed his rookie year due to injury.

I've accepted it. I just don't get it.

Simple. It's all about current perception, and UK is winning that battle by a landslide.
