I seem to recall Matt Mitchell getting regular pastings on this board and others with the Kentucky comings and goings, along with the NCAA giving him a chance to play at home in the NCAA tourneys (to no avail). Yeah, he went 15-17 this year with two juniors averaging in double figures:  Maci Morris (15.7)  and Taylor Murray (11.5). Then the next highest scorers were in the 6.0+ range. Well, at least two of them were freshman. He's got two ranked recruits coming in: guard Rhyne Howard (#31 Hoopgurlz) and wing Blair Green (#71 HG).

Still, this seems to be a team that is treading water, at best, with Matt and former Indiana Fever Coach Linn Dunn keeping the Wildcats in the middle of the pack. Apparently, Matt is tight with AD Mitch Barnhart and he and his wife donate part of his salary to UK-fave charities. Maybe a hedge against when Calipari eventually goes off? Who knows? The record does not really justify that kind of investment and Walz seems to be making inroads in the KY-recruiting battles...he's got three in-state, blue chippers headed to Louisville.
