You should never judge a player by how many stars they have.    Trey Burke and Oladipo were 3 stars that are now in the NBA. 

  Really don't see Bryant having a good enough season.  But once again I said the word "Could".  We have enough pieces SG-PF that if we get a decent PG to replace Yogi then that year could be very special.  If Bryant leaves after a year and Crean once again is unprepared for his big man leaving then well that says alot. 

  I think Blackmon, Johnson, Holt and Bryant could make for a very good core.  A solid PG and one very talented Freshman in 16 and we could do alot.    So the key will be keeping Blackmon. 

  Yep, thats why I would rather stand pat with who we have.  Well I guess as I said before we need a plan at PG.    I think the year after next could be really special if we have a plan to replace Yogi with either a solid Sophomore or a stud Freshman. 

  If the 5 stars are based purely on hype.  No.    Remember Perea was a 4 star.    What do they have in common, people learned of them through highlights not games. 

If Murray reclassifies we have to go for him over Thon.  Its not even a question right?

After the Nike Hoop Summit, not sure Maker is the guy we should be going after.  If Murray reclassifies gotta think hes a much higher priority.  Even if Murray doesn't reclassify not sure Thon would be able to actually contribute.  Looking like a  guy who will struggle his freshman year.  Might be a solid player one day, but not going to help us next year.  Would rather have a guy who can replace Yogi once hes gone ready. 

The way I see it the fact he can't come till December helps us. Kansas and Kentucky are both going to have 2 five star bigs. Thon knows he's not going to be guaranteed to start over a 5 star that's been on campus for months. Here he will start maybe not right away but he will start.

They have plenty of Bigs they are after. Plus the whole Adidas thing. I still feel like Kansas or IU gets him.

On Kentucky Message boards he's almost treated as an afterthought. Seems like maybe if they get who they want he will still be available.
