Another Super Freak: Terrence Jones to UK
Just when Kentucky fans thought it was safe to abandon hope for next season, Coach John Calipari has gone out and assembled another completely ridiculous signing class, capped off with the news that consensus top 10 recruit Terrence Jones will sign with the Wildcats.
Jones, a smooth 6-9 power forward from Portland, Ore., was originally committed to Washington, but late Wednesday night news outlets were reporting that he would indeed sign with Kentucky.
Adding Jones to a backcourt of Enes Kanter and Eloy Vargas gives UK instant size, strength and athleticism on the interior. Judging by his highlight reel, Jones is a guy who can do a little bit of everything—handle the rock, rebound, block shots and intimidate opponents in the low post.
With Brandon Knight and Doron Lamb complementing DeAndre Liggins, Darius Miller and (hopefully) Darnell Dodson on the wing and in the backcourt, this Kentucky roster is completely loaded once again.
Yes, the Cats will be young and go through growing pains this season. But in today’s game, where talent is being lost to the pros at an incredible rate, UK can match up man for man with just about anyone. Should be interesting to see how the roster comes together (and whether everyone qualifies) over the summer.
