Incredibly, we are officially less than a month from the start of the college basketball season (get here soon please, Kentucky-Duke). But as far as I’m concerned we’re just hours away from the unofficial kickoff of the college basketball season: Kentucky’s Pro Day.
That’s right, every year there are signs that college basketball is near – the changing of the leaves, flipping back clocks, a couple key players suspended a game or two for vague “violations of team rules” offenses – yet nothing really makes it feel like its basketball season is right around the corner quite like seeing UK line up in the practice gym/Rupp Arena with a bunch of scouts encircled with pens, pads and stopwatches taking in the whole thing.
