The pain of seeing Kentucky's season come to an end to a team like Robert Morris was bad, real bad. But, hopefully things will start to heal tomorrow when the #2 player in the class of 2013 makes his decision as to where be playing college basketball next season.
Julius Randle, the #1 power forward and #2 player in the country will be choosing between Kansas, Florida, Kentucky and Texas. Everyone who's anyone seems to think that it is a two horse race between the Jayhawks and the Cats and most all seem to think that he will slipping on a Kentucky cap when it's all said and done.
Kentucky was in the running early for the nations #1 player Andrew Wiggins, but I have thought since late last year that Andrew would eventually land in Tallahassee with his Huntington Prep and childhood friend Xavier Rathan-Mayes, again just my opinion. For that reason, it seems that Kentucky had been putting more effort into landing Randle than Wiggins. Don't get me wrong, Kentucky would welcome Wiggins with open arms, any program or NBA team would. But, Julius Randle is the real deal folks. Even Jimmy Dykes during tonights game said "if Julius Randle joins the group Calipari already has signed, that could very well be the best recruiting class in history." That's what Julius Randle would do for next years team.
So in less than 24 hours we will learn if Kentucky will be the favorite to win the NCAA Championship next season, that will make some of the pain go away.
