This community is very blessed to have Chris Lofton. He has made us proud, and I talk about him with pride. How great would it be to have a son like Chris! Go Chris! We are behind you all the way!

I think that it was great that Coach Pearle took the time to visit Maysville and Chris' fans. I wonder when Tubby would care to stop by? And, hopefully, Rich Brookes will never visit.

I think Chris made the right decision in going to UT. He would probably have not been able to show his true potential and talents at UK.

Dawg I think you are so right! I don't think Chris would have gotten the opportunity to shine like he has at UT. It's great. I believe it was a blessing in disguise that Tubby didn't snag him and my BIG ORANGE did! :-D

It appears that Rhondo may have a good NBA rookie year after getting away from Tubbyball.

Kentucky and Tubby Smith will be better off without Rhondo and attitude

That is the problem, preacherman. Tubby only recruits "attitudes" and McDonald's All-Americans. A nice well-rounded young man like Chris isn't good enough. Tubby is getting what he deserves.

Who here believes that tubby needs to prove himself worthy to remain a coach of the wildcats this year? I do. He better have the cats ready to play this year and WIN!!

dawg I agree with you that I for one will never understand why Tubby did not want Chris on that team
