A few months ago, right before the start of the college basketball started, a buddy of mine who is close with one of the players on the Kentucky basketball team, stopped by campus for a visit. He spent two or three days around the team, in practice and hanging out once official team activities were complete.
A few days after he left Lexington I gave him a buzz, just to see how the trip went. He responded with all the usual talking points, discussing how intense practice was, how nice the facilities were. Blah, blah, you know, the usual.
