2001/2002 University of
Kentucky Men's Basketball Roster Info.
J.P. Blevins See the Zzzzz's, be the Zzzzz's
You can make a lot of enemies playing point guard for Kentucky. Just ask
the punching bags who've taken on that high-pressured assignment. J.P.
Blevins, who aspires to such scrutiny, goes into this season with one
group sure to dislike him: insomniacs.
Keith Bogans Scooby Doo aficionado still just an incurable kid at heart
You might call it a guilty pleasure, except Keith Bogans does not feel
guilty. He freely admits the pleasure he gets from watching Scooby Doo
cartoons. ``It's not embarrassing at all,'' he said. ``I don't want to
grow up. I'm not in any rush to grow up and get old. I don't want to
grow up too fast
Jules Camara Basketball comes with a beach ball in this African tale
Jules Camara came to Kentucky from Africa, which conjures up images of
jungle safaris, witch doctors and other concoctions from countless
Hollywood movies. But if a movie is ever made of Camara's life, the
soundtrack should include that most American of musicmakers, the Beach
Boys.
Josh Carrier `Water boy' puts away skis so he can slalom into freshman season
Here's an image to ponder: One of Kentucky's long-range shooters
momentarily skimming the surface of Barren River Lake on a pair of skis.
Then, tim-berrr, down he goes like a tree felled in a forest
Rashaad Carruth Needle him all you like; he has No Fear
Freshman Rashaad Carruth has yet to play a college game, but he already
holds a Kentucky career record. He has not one, not two, not eight, but
10 tattoos. ``That's just my style,'' he said. ``That's what I like to
do. I'm not trying to be like Allen Iverson. I just like tattoos.''
Adam Chiles Dog Pepper offers spice of life for Cat
Adam Chiles came into his mother's bedroom with a concern. Something was
wrong with his dog's leg. ``Can you take Pepper to the doctor?'' he
asked. ``Not at 1 a.m.,'' his mother replied, sleepily.
Erik Daniels Martial arts kick-start a career
Freshmen are supposed to be mentally overwhelmed and physically
underdeveloped. Knee surgery mere days before the opening game should
have thrown Erik Daniels further behind. Shouldn't that be helplessly
behind
Marquis Estill Inspiration found in spirit of child
Marquis Estill has overcome a lot in his Kentucky career. Ineligibility
as a freshman. An ill-defined role and inconsistent playing time as a
sophomore. The need to lose weight. Chronic soreness in his knees.
Gerald Fitch Brother still showing the way George Fitch
Jan. 9, 1974 July 3, 1998'' To say George was Gerald's brother is to say
an ocean is wet. ``He was like my dad,'' Gerald said. ``We couldn't get
any closer. I didn't have a dad around. He was like my dad and my
brother.''
Cliff Hawkins The Golden Girls made for good times for point guard-to-be and his
mother
Cliff Hawkins, a leader of men as a Kentucky point guard, goes heavy on
the testosterone when it comes to what he watches on television. ``If
I'm not watching SportsCenter,'' he said, ``I'm not watching anything.''
Chuck Hayes A classic case of love at first drive
Chuck Hayes brings the American love affair with the car home to
Kentucky basketball. Fittingly, it is the older models, the classics
that launched the love affair. ``I think they're unique,'' he said.
``They're original. With cars today, they kind of make them the same.
But old cars, there is nothing like them.''
Matt Heissenbuttel Walk-on's love makes him natural in Kentucky
Kentucky's main man? Tayshaun Prince. Kentucky's mane man? That would be
Matt Heissenbuttel. The walk-on guard is carrying on a life-long love
affair with horses. If you went to Keeneland this fall or Saratoga this
summer, chances are you saw Heissenbuttel.
Tayshaun Prince Wildcats' Mr. Clutch says Pierce set the standard
What's the best display of clutch play at crunch time you've ever seen?
Most players with Tayshaun Prince's resume would use the first-person
pronoun to answer. Prince could say, ``I hit:
Cory Sears Pride of Corbin aims to make a difference
Della Moore had lived a good life. Now, at 96, she was in a Corbin
hospital. There was nothing more for her doctors to do. What Cory Sears
felt or somehow sensed that day you could call a premonition.
Marvin Stone Stories about father a pleasant reminder
Marvin Stone did not want to be too obvious. So he gave his father a sly
reminder. ``Dad, I've got a baseball game tonight,'' he said. ``Why
don't you come watch me?''
