About

I'm currently a Journalism major at the esteemed University of Kentucky. I'm a lover of almost all sports, with my forte being in the realm of college basketball. I keep my Big Blue bias out of my writing, specifically when I'm not writing about the Wildcats.

Along with my passion for sports, I also enjoy discussing them. Whether it be with a family member, friend, or stranger that posts on my article, I am more than willing to state my case and reply to criticisms. Feel free to comment on an article or message me here on B/R.

Although my short list below may seem biased towards a specific university, I enjoy all sports. I don't have a "favorite" MLB, NBA or NFL team, but if I was required to choose, I'd probably select the Red Sox, Spurs and Lions, respectively.

I hopped on the Red Sox bandwagon in 2003 when Big Papi joined the fray. I love the way the Spurs play basketball and I love the way Popovich coaches. I'm a Lions fan because I secretly have Big 12 ties, making Barry Sanders and Ndamukong Suh two of my most-watched athletes.

    You're welcome, Matt! I enjoyed the read quite a bit. Nice to see someone throwing a few lesser known players into the fold. Loved watching Wolters play the few times SDSU was on TV last season.

    Yeah, I'm a do-everything 6'0'' guard/center. A new breed of player.

    Sure thing, Matt. Zeller definitely has a great offensive game.

    Cause I'm always right jk. I have to say Poythress reminds of a lot of Moe Harkless, which if he ends up like I will be extremely happy. Hmm Poythress is lacking a lot of pounds to guard Stokes, I actually might think Cauley might be the best option

    I don't find it as a coincidence at all though. O well it will be interesting if MKG stays and if the Cats do add both Bazz and Noel. Reports say Bazz is a small forward but he looks more like a shooting guard.

    Matt did you hear? Shabazz and Noel are announcing their decision together on ESPN, and the only school that are on both players list is... KENTUCKY! Kentucky better be ranked number 1 in the preseason polls. Noel attempting to beat Davis's records is going to be interesting to say the least.

    Were like one of those classic famous teams. He’s like Mozart and I’m like…Mozart’s friend. No. I’m like Butch Cassidy and Michael is like…Mozart. You try and hurt Mozart? You’re gonna get a bullet in your head courtesy of Butch Cassidy.

    I'm beyond epic.
