I wasted about the last 8 minutes trying to think up the greatest double-meaning headline using the word “hood” in history, and…..nothing. Sorry. I’m not cut out for this.
However, UK got yet another commitment. This time from class of ‘09 stud and Kentuckian Jon Hood, according to TCP’s Jerry Meyer.
Feels good. Apparently, Mr. Hood prefers Range Rovers.
Hopefully we’ll speak with the newest Wildcat in the coming days. Discuss amongst yourselves.

BCG is lining them up and knocking them down. This guy is the best thing that has happened to our programe since Rupp. Go BCG and GO CATS
May 7th, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Anybody got a running list of our signees for the next 5 years?
May 7th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
I’m not gay, but I get excited over BCG’s recruiting greatness! I have a man crush! (no homo)
May 7th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
09: Villarino, Hood
10: Ferguson, Miller, Euton
11: Zollo
12: “the 8th grader”
May 7th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
“Time to see whats under the Range Rovers’ Hood” or “UK is robbin’ Hood from the Dukies.” Do those sound corny enough to be a headline?
May 7th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Billy might have cried with Zollo,but dammit he keeps this up and I’m going to start crying!!! BCg kicks ass!!!
May 7th, 2008 at 8:47 pm
How about Bobby Maze is not HOOD enough for the cats!!!
May 7th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
I think Hood saw that the boat was filling up quick and figured he better jump on before it was too late.
May 7th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
CAnTuckeeBoi, B. Maze is the golden child! He is not the ordinary human being! LMAO
May 7th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
“Mr. Gillispie’s neighbor, Hood”
May 7th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
Man the guys of KSR are beating the 8th grader thing to death. Just be proud that you have a coach now that will do whatever it takes within the rules to get us the best talent out there. I’m going to laugh my ass off when MICHAEL AVERY becomes a stud by his junior year and we already have him sewed up. John Hood will be a hell of a four year guy. WAY TO GO BCG!!!!!
May 7th, 2008 at 8:52 pm
16- Are you referring to this post w/ the 8th grade comment? If so, I’m confused.
14- Solid.
10- Second one is gold.
May 7th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
How about We’re so Hood in ‘09
May 7th, 2008 at 8:54 pm
BTI’s comment is what I was reffering to. Actually Evan your the only one who doesn’t have some kind of smart ass comment to make about it.
May 7th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
14.) I am confused
May 7th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
19) oh, get over it and take a joke
May 7th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
How about “THANK HOODNESS.” Reffering to thank goodness Hood chose UK instead of DUke or FLorida. I heard a few months ago that he loved Donovan and Coach K.
May 7th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Is this the end of the secret silent verbal talk? He was the one everybody was witholding, right?
May 7th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
I said it before I love this coach and his non-stop recruiting, UK Basketball seems like a labor of love to him. Non-stop just like the fans. Make fun of him if you want!
May 7th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
19 - Ah, apologies.
May 7th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
20. That is what Maze’s myspace says. Read the 4th comment here.
May 7th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
21, Alright lets make a truce then. You don’t mention it and I won’t call you out about mentioning it.
May 7th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
27) fine, for this particluar time i just couldnt think of the kids name and didnt want to look it up, but i was critical in the past and i have moved on because we will all be 4 years older before he ever gets to lexington and thats just too long away for me to really care
May 7th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
This guy can play some “string music” guys. He’s a pure shooter and is going to be a key to our team for the next few years. A great kid from the home of Travis Ford and Frank Ramsey. WTG Billy! You’re changing my opinion fast!
May 7th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
We are HOOD rich!
May 7th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
when will they update the top 100 rankings again? is the next round in August after all the summer play is over?
Just asking ’cause I really think he can be a 5star and GJ should move WAY up the list. Only junior all stater in Texas and hes a 3star, BS, he also grew to 6′1″ this year. I look for him to be a top 40 player
May 7th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
who has seen him play? Scouts says he is 4 star, top 50 player. Can he “do it all” type player?
May 7th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
So when are we going to get BCG under contract anyway. We hired him because he is a great coach and great recruiter and he has proven to be both, now lets make sure we keep him.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
29.) I am hyped but isn’t he getting off a pretty serious injury (I think he broke his shooting wrist).
Ohh well I am sure he will be great!!
May 7th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
I like the way that Gillispie isn’t just recruiting top-ranked guys to have “name” guys. Everyone he’s adding seems to fit a need or a role and, as much as we can conclude with speculation, have games that fit well with each other. There appears to be a an inside-outside balance coming in the future that might be VERY difficult to match up with.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
31 - he was the only JR on the team, but 2 sophmores were on the all state team too.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
This is getting to be so boring. Where’s the fun in recruiting anymore these days?
Signed,

May 7th, 2008 at 9:06 pm
You can feel good about Hood. he can also endorse Hood’s milk.
anyways, we are going on a national championship run for a decade! 2010-2020!!! UK will be in every championship game and win at least 7 out of 10.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:07 pm
34, He either just recently got the cast off or he’s getting very close to it. I can’t remember exactly.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Did he break it during a game?
May 7th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
36- good call, forgot about that, but still he’s BALLIN’
May 7th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Must suck for UT Fans. Everytime they get good news Gillispie one ups them.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
I was with Hood on the MARTA on the way to the SEC Tourney. I didn’t think it was him at first because of the cast on his hand, but we did finally ask. He said he was there to see what the tourney was like, and that he did like UK the most. He seemed like a class act. I’m glad the tornado didn’t scare him to dookieland. This is great!
May 7th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
His cast is off and he’s back to normal.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
29 - please don’t start w/ the “string music” Joe Dean gets on my last nerve. He’s got to be one of the worst - JP/LF announcers around. I like it when we have our homer broadcasters - Hammond & the Con man calling the games.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:15 pm

I saw Derrick Anderson at the Jefferson Mall back in 98. What was he drivin? Range Rover.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Guys if we somehow pull off getting Jon Wall and Derrick Favors to join Hood it will be the best three classes in a row that I have ever seen in Kentucky basketball and College Basketball in general. It would be amazing and I could definitely forsee a national championship in 2010. What a man, What a man this Gillispie is.
May 7th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Great pickup but I saw something about DeShawn Painter for next year that would be the icing stealing a stud center from out underneath the Cards. IT is time to PAINT THE HOOD!!!

Duke has been “Hood-winked”
May 7th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
but yea for real does hood have a chance to be a 5* and vilarino a 4*?
May 7th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Great news about Hood. Does anyone really think the Maze experience with BCG would have worked out? No way. If there was trouble early on with Joe and Legion, I can only imagine the fireworks that this guy would have created. While we need a PG, I think this might be one of those situations where you need to be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.
As an aside MATT, have you heard anything about Chris Wright (Dayton) possibly transfering to UK? Johnny made a pretty strong impression on his show today that this was close to happening. T/F?
May 7th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
It would be nice to steal 2 from the Dukies in the same week. http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=533 63&season=2009&univLogin02=stateChanged&action=upsell&appRedirect=http %3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fncb%2frecruiting%2ftracker%2fplayer%3fr ecruitId%3d53363%26season%3d2009%26univLogin02%3dstateChanged

Welcome to the whitest “Hood” in NCAA Divison 1 baby… 2 double ot 9. Looks like Kentucky will actually have white boys (plural) on the court in the near future. That can’t be be a bad thing (This isn’t a challenge Matt).
I’m for a good mix personally. A little salt, a little pepper and a bunch of talent. It seems to be a winning mix historically. Too many brothas and it can get a bit out of control at times, too many white boys and it can get a bit stale here and there. The mix is where it’s at. Just picture rye chips… then think Gardetto’s Party Mix. It’s a win win even for 2 Lexington reporters looking for the negative slant in the story. They know it’s there somewhere. Which strikes first? The suspense!!!
Maryland pulled the scholarship offer from Bobby Maze this year (the reason I read was Maryland wouldn’t allow him into the school academically). HEY! Where on earth could he go? Can you say… Nocksbills? Tennessee is THE PLACE for him! It’s like a dub sack in the UT basketball dorms, a perfect fit!
What I can’t figure out is… how does he turn an underwear stain into a Ferrari? Is he Neo? Or CLeo?
May 7th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
70. I’m NOT for any racial mixture. I’m down with a team of smurfs if they can win a championship.

May 7th, 2008 at 10:21 pm

May 7th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
I never expected this much this quickly and to think just ten days ago many fans were wondering if things would start to fall into place.
Apparently they have.
Granted these kids may not turn out but you’ve got to admit there appears to be a hell of a lot more options right now.
The word is getting out and you can bet kids will be paying more attention when this coaching staff comes calling.

I can see Tiptons headline tomorrow. “Billy Gillispie holds Jon Hoods family hostage until he committs. He then forces them to drink beer until their tongues bleed and they puke on the slummy streets of Lexington.
May 7th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Everytime doubt starts to creep into Big Blue Nation BCG shuts it up. Adversity only makes him stronger. Just when you think you have a grasp on how hard he works bam he takes it up a notch.
May 7th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
chris wright is thinkin about transfering to uk?

J’Mison Morgan is asking for a release? Do we have a shot?
May 7th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
81- I hadn’t heard anything like that until today on Renshaw’s show. He said “his sources” say this will happen. Who knows…Johnny is known to drink a little bit.
May 7th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
would we be giving him a scholly or is he plannin on walkin on?
May 7th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
depends on how good the copier is working
May 7th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
82- i hear it, but its not just victories. we’ll be poppin champaign
May 7th, 2008 at 10:39 pm
No way he walks on. He’d need a scholly and would have to sit out this season. I would be shocked if this actually happened, but we’ll see.
May 7th, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Great news for the Cats. Sounds like the good old days when Kentucky boys were begging for a chance to play for the Cats.
Ok seriously not wanting to run off anyone I promise but can we get a definite answer from Jasper or Williams? I’m ready to get Painter now, we need this guy to sign during the best month of recruiting I have ever seen.
May 7th, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Gocats i thought maybe you had passed out from all the good news lately

hate to be a “negative nancy” but mike williams is not UK material. Jasper obviously is, and hopefully gillispie puts a lot of time and energy to get him back at UK because he is such a quality athlete and UK DESPERATELY needs his game experience
May 7th, 2008 at 10:57 pm

I am tired of hearing this BCG pulled in Patterson crap……Tubby was on the kid from day one and like a loyal coach pitched his school rather than himself (see Mike Davis). He pitched the university so well that Pat decided to still go here. Its getting old to take hidden shots at the old coach. I have faith in BCG but he has not brought in a decent recruit yet. Maybe time will tell, but quit making excuses for the present.

April 28th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
21. We weren’t even competetive in recruiting this year. Olec Czyk and Tyler Zeller didn’t even have us as finalists. Trae Golden visits one weekend supposedly we lead the next week he commits while visiting Ohio State. Rotnie Clark and Willie Warren get away those are just right off the top of my head. That’s not to even mention Hamga, Sanchez and Andre Clark. What happened to witherspoon? And if anyone thinks the SEC will be as down next year you’re crazy.

Love our coach and Wildcats.
You too Jasper, hope you will decide to come back.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
I think every true U.K. fan should be extremely thankful that we have BCG for our coach.There is no way anyone out works him recruiting,and there is not one fan that could have possibly believed that he could turn around our recruiting,and the perception of our direction as a program as quickly as he has accomplished it.I am amazed and i have thought he was a great fit from the beginning.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
101- it sucked at that moment b/c it seemed ridiculous to have someone choose efffin hawaii over a program like uk. but with billy g, 8 days is a lifetime when it comes to recruiting!
May 7th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
105) Sorry Dwayne, wasnt trying to call anyone out! Just proving what I have been saying, patience, Gillispie has back-up recruits lined up for the back-up recruits! The good times are back in Lexington!

May 7th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
101.) I dont see anything wrong with what I said. I am extremely excited for the future, but I am still worried about the present. I mean its great we got Harrellson and Galloway and Liggins and Miller, but we don’t know anything yet. The comment was more of a shot at the OTS issue, and him not getting the credit due, but that has since been resolved and a truce is out so I will not touch on it. The future looks great, but as far as getting recruits in for next year, only time will tell. I have high hopes, but the jury is still out, I guess we will see soon.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
108.) hahah thats uncalled for, you selectively read everything I post. I was a Tubby fan, and that is known, but I am also a huge BCG fan something that believe it or not can coexist, and that is the problem I have with certain people on this site….
May 7th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
I know Gillispie is working his butt off but I believe the last 3(Avery, Zollo, Hood) are cases of players wanting to jump on while there is still room. Ferguson may have been who Gillispie was after but now he is started an avalanche of top recruits wanting to come here.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
lol, my son’s name is Chris Wright, but not the same one you guys are talking about.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
110) when you wrote that original post, we had Liggins, Miller, and Galloway? What kind of decent recruit were you looking for?
May 7th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
GoCats u left me out trying to cheer everyone back up after those comments.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
this is one guy we definately needed! huge grab. Out of all of them, he is the biggest because being a kentucky boy, he already knows how crazy we are about our cats and he chose to embrace that instead of run to tobacco road with all the speedo wearing dukies! good choice.
If kentucky is a range rover, duke is the cheese wagon with the big rat coach k behind the wheel
May 7th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
I sure do hope Jasper is coming back but with him taking a 1 way flight to Cali on May 1st, it sure doesn’t sound good. I would think that if he was planning on comming back, he would have gotten a round trip ticket.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
had not heard that. what’s ur source
May 7th, 2008 at 11:21 pm
115) I know there were a lot of people trying to keep people from jumping ship(like you and me) but I was just wanted to remind some of the “bench is half empty” crowd what they said just 10 short days ago!
May 7th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
114.) I will def. admit that the “decent” comment was a far stretch, b/c I think all three of those players have the potential to be really great players. None of them come in with the Patterson hype, and once again the comment was intended to defend a totally different subject.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
My source is my finance who checked him into his flight and then called me to tell me he left on a one way ticket.
May 7th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
I mean I am by no means saying he is gone or that he is transfering, I’m just saying I know he flew out of Lexington on May 1 with two bags, he had a lay over in Vegas where he had to change airlines and was there for 1 day, and off to his home town in Cali.

123) nice link
Jerry asked about the injuries UK suffered last season that some have linked to Coach Billy Gillispie’s tough practices. This is not a new issue, and it’s one that has been written about and commented on extensively in the press,
“extensivley commented on by Tipton”!!!
Tipton has crossed the line of trying to hard to report objectively, he obviously has made the choice not hop on the bandwagon because he doesnt think it will last. That is fine, but I for one am done reading his articles. I will be more than happy to get my UK stories from KSR, ASOB, and Ukathletics.com

I heard someone was wanting a petition against Tipton, I am all for it.

Why wouldn’t someone listen to me, You don’t know me or my family. You’ve never talked to me in my life. Honest to God, why in the heck do people love to get on here and discount every thing everyone says. You don’t work at the airport, you didn’t check him in for a flight. So seriously, stop discounting me.

Good kid, and good BB player who will fit in really well!

And how many times do I have to say it, I am not saying he is gone. All I said was that he flew out, why is that so hard for some people to believe. We are all UK fans, we are all here for the same reason, to get information, to find out about the team, and share what we know. Thats all I’m trying to do. I would love to challenge the love and dedication I have for this team with just about anyone. I have lost count to the number of nights I spent camped outside the student door waiting to be the 1st in line. For the UK Florida game last year I was there 2 days before the game started. I was the first in line for the game, I was out there with Digger helping lead the cheers. I found out that my fiance was pregnant before the game and I still went, of course we went to the doctor the next day. I love this team with all my heart and it personally hurts when people would discount information. I’m just trying to share my passion with everyone else.

Great get, read his interview sounds like a good kid also. Seriously guys, a couple of you sound a little spooky about expressing your appreciation for Billy. Its ok, you don’t have to defend yourself when you say you love him… What the heck, I want to kiss him.

arember01, I for one appreciate what you shared and I share your love of the program, I have been a cat fan since I was a kid, over 40 years and still going strong. Billy G is doing a great job recruiting and I think that the snowball effect is now evident in the recruiting process. Now I hope we land John Wall and DeShawn Painter for next years class, wouldn’t that be awesome

In the words of Trey Anastasio:
“You can feel good. Good. Good about Hood!”
If they start playing Harry Hood at UK games I’ll cream myself.
from wiki:
“Harry Hood” is infamous among the band’s fans for its association with the spontaneous emergence of “glowstick wars,” a Phish-created audience and band interaction in which multicolored glowsticks were tossed in dazzling, arching parabolas from all points in the crowd, such as during the 1997 “Great Went” performance featured in the film Bittersweet Motel.

I think Hood is the player of the future here at UK. He will be one of those players like the unforgettables and Travis Ford that will never forget. Thank Hoodness Hood chose UK. BCG is creating excitement around the program and I am proud of the direction that we are headed in. Looks like we will be dominating the SEC for another 50 years. GO CATS, baby.

#137 There is one thing in this world that never get old and that is being a UK fan. IT seems like every year my love for the CATS grows stronger and stronger. Outside of God and my family for short periods of time I have enjoyed this or that, but it seems those things came and went. My love for the CATS though has never waivered. GO BIG BLUE!!!!
