I was hoping that with the lock out he could spend some time with the team this year. They will miss him on the floor but to have him around working with the young pups would be amazing. Unlike having someone like Ray come in which has star value ect... Kemba is just a great teacher and motivator- it has to be a good thing and more helpful to us (because it is Kemba) then having blue jesus show up at Uk for a few days as an example.
You bring up a good point. The lockout will likely allow KW to practice and workout with the current players up to the official start of the season. He probably can't be on the floor during the limited coaches' lead sessions that are allowed by the NCAA during the pre-season, but other than that 2 or so hours a week, I'm sure Kemba can do whatever he wants to.
Not a bad guy to have around when recruits come visiting. Not sure what type of contact he's allowed while a recruit is on campus officially or unofficially. I'm assuming there's not restrictions there either. How can you prevent a recruit from accidentally running into KW, Ray Allen, etc.
Although, and obviously so, we'd all rather have KW back for another season, this is the next best thing.
