It’s the rumor that won’t go away, and now Dave Telep has jumped on board: Julius Randle won’t play with the Harrison twins, supposedly. Despite Randle and both twins refuting the reports that they won’t play together, Telep thinks it’s a longshot that Randle joins them at UK. Here’s the first of his five bold recruiting predictions on ESPN.com:
1. Randle won’t join the Harrison twins in college. I know what everyone’s saying, that they all wouldn’t mind playing together. When the Miami Heat put their Big Three in motion, it helped that LeBron, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were good friends. But I think it would be an upset if the three best players in Texas wind up at Kentucky.
It’s impossible to keep up with the Randle/Harrisons friendship if you believe everything being reported. Take Telep’s word however your little blue heart desires.

I am just glad you found a picture where he has 2 arms.
November 13th, 2012 at 1:20 pm
This guys a moron. Doesnt he realize the harrison twins are already gon be Cats?? Stupid

Gosh, on the radio, Matt can not take someone making fun of him. Hope drew doesn’t get beat up like beisner beat matt. I’m sorry, drew. Defend yourself from the egotistical host of ksr.
November 13th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
Ok…randle is good, but lee with Gordon or Johnson could be just as good.
I bet randle goes to Florida.
Wiggins is what matters!
November 13th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
I’m sorry, but at this point, it’s all conjecture.
These recruiting guys talk and talk and talk just to hear themselves talk and get clicks. A lot of these players are in the middle of their high school seasons so nothing new is coming out. So the talking heads guess and make “observations” based on what little info they have at the moment, just to pass the time til things start to pick up towards the spring.

We never did not want him no how ’cause he kant shoot jump nor dribble any wayz.
November 13th, 2012 at 1:30 pm
Well stated #5, these writers are needing to pay for their Holidays with each and every click!!
November 13th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
Hmm… bad news Tuesday. Harrow out, Wiggins favoring FSU and Randle ain’t coming either..?
I see there is a tendency to bash the messenger (ie Telep). Dave Telep has been good to UK, so bashing him is pointless. He is reporting his opinion.
I think Aaron Gordon and Andrew Wiggins should be top priorities. Go hard and get ‘em. Randle can enjoy his one year in Austin.
November 13th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
These so called recruiting experts have no idea what they’re talkin about
November 13th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
You know I just heard a rumor that Terrence Jones was a lock in to go to Washington…..
November 13th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
Come to dinner sweetie!
November 13th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Whatever happened to jeremy jarmon? He came on the show to pimp the football team in order to get a job. Once he did, you never heard from him again. Sounds like he just said crap in order to get a job. He is a great person.
November 13th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
Randle will play less minutes at UF than he will here, but hey, to each his own. He can win with us or lose against us. Whatever floats his boat.
November 13th, 2012 at 1:43 pm
Does anyone know what radio channel carries the UK basketball network for basketball games on a smartphone? WLAP didn’t carry the Maryland game and I know WHAS doesn’t. I have iheart and tune in as an app.
November 13th, 2012 at 1:50 pm
#6. Couldn’t have said it better myself….no, wait……
November 13th, 2012 at 1:52 pm
He must have heard Aaron Gordon is UK bound.
November 13th, 2012 at 1:52 pm
#14 the games don’t stream on iHeart unfortunately.
November 13th, 2012 at 1:52 pm
I know things change a lot with the recruitment of high school kids. But please, PLEASE remember these posts when Wiggins & Randle choose UK
November 13th, 2012 at 1:54 pm
@ 13 – why would Randle play less at UF? You realize he starts and plays a ton of minutes regardless of where he goes right?
November 13th, 2012 at 1:56 pm
@13 I think you’re wrong about Randle playing less minutes at Florida than here. He will be a starter at any program in the country. But I also think if he does choose Florida, they will be second best in the country, behind our cats. I love seeing great talent come into our conference, but I would much rather see this kid go to Texas as to have to worry about him going to Florida and putting pressure on our 40-0 season.
November 13th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
Gordon and wiggins and no worries
November 13th, 2012 at 2:00 pm
Love to have him, HIS LOSS, not ours!!
November 13th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
If Randle doesn’t want a NC ring, who knows? He could wind up at IU and get a ring for just showing up at practices!
November 13th, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Do any of yall realize that he has NO information to go on with this? Read the last sentence. It starts with “I think it would be an upset…” No facts, no sources. Pure opinion.
November 13th, 2012 at 2:11 pm
Scott Bishop is saying Randle is a lock for UF.
November 13th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Scott Bishop also reporting that Wiggins is leaning FSU.
November 13th, 2012 at 2:17 pm
Scott Bishop?
November 13th, 2012 at 2:18 pm
Oh, Scott Bishop knows nothing. He’s just some jerk I used to work with at a factory in Shelbyville. At this point in the recruiting process, though, probably just as reliable as Telep.
November 13th, 2012 at 2:21 pm
By the way, Scott Bishop also reporting a major programming controversy for tonight. UK game @ 9:30 vs. 90 minute Sons of Anarchy starting at 10:00. Early reports indicate that we will hope to catch the Sons of Anarchy episode replayed at another time, or download it from the internet.
November 13th, 2012 at 2:22 pm
14 – try 1530 Sports Animal out of Cincinnati on iHeart. That’s the only station I’ve found that doesn’t mute the games out on iHeart. If you have a DVR, you can slow the game down to catch up with the delayed radio feed on your iPhone/iPad/iPod and mute the TV. That’s my plan at least…

Why do you guys care? Have you learned nothing? How many times since Cal have we watched a kid pick a school and NOT pick UK? Like 2 or 3, maybe? That includes Mr. Muhammed, who will never play a college game. ANDREW WIGGINS WILL COME TO UK AND WE WILL GO UNDEFEATED NEXT SEASON. Quit trying so hard to convince yourself other wise…it’s coming…
November 13th, 2012 at 2:40 pm
I am now reporting UK will land Gordon next.
November 13th, 2012 at 2:42 pm
Dave Telep is about as a reliable source as Larry “The Lip” Vaught.
Either Telep or Vaught will print anything to get noticed.
November 13th, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Yeah but Dave is consistently wrong and a bit of a blowhard…he falls within the grain of salt category. Just because he operates a SMART board and has a shitty stylist does not mean he knows anymore than the average Cats fan.
November 13th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Don’t worry bout randle. Wiggins and Gordon are UK bound
November 13th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
@14 try using 1530 The Sports Animal in Cincinatti. They start with the IMG Pregame Show. They don’t have the KY Sports Radio show though before that.
November 13th, 2012 at 3:09 pm
@36 your a drone, without randle we don’t win #10
November 13th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
It ain’t over til its over, jack!
November 13th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
@38 you’re a lib and a drone. Gordon>randle. Gotta get #10
November 13th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
I am now reporting that I had BBQ pulled pork for lunch. Sources indicate that it was delicious. My top 3 for tomorrow are Wendy’s, Taco Bell, or Arby’s but I am leaning Taco Bell.
November 13th, 2012 at 3:20 pm
By the way, 36 & 40… I enjoy your list. Scored some good seats for the Reds Playoff game from there this season. Too bad the Reds lost.
November 13th, 2012 at 3:32 pm
Do we really need Randle…I think the only 2 who leave early next year are Noel and Goodwin…that leaves a strong frontcourt with a years experience…adding Wiggins is the only thing we need to concentrate on…he is the difference maker…this years class is not all one and done in my opinion
November 13th, 2012 at 3:35 pm
Craig your the biggest drone there is. To get #10 we need the best. Gordon’s not the best
November 13th, 2012 at 3:35 pm
#3 Ryno .Who is beisner and what was the fight about ? I’ve seen it referenced lots of times but haven’t heard the story . I’ll hang up and listen .
November 13th, 2012 at 3:39 pm
Do we have to have all this recruiting? Just let us know at the start of the semester who’s on the team and we can go from there. As long as they are wearing blue we’ll cheer for them.
November 13th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Thanks #30 and #37. Had to listen to the ESPN radio for the Maryland game and those announcers were a joke.
November 13th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
I’ve been telling you cat fans for the longest time that Randle wasn’t coming to UK with the Doublemint twins. Texas or Florida for Randle as I’ve said all along.
November 13th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
aaron gordon is a beast!
November 13th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
Didn’t this guy say the twins wasn’t coming to lex?
November 13th, 2012 at 5:23 pm
#47 Wait until tonight when you have to listen to dickie v and bob knight all over coach k’s n-ts.
November 13th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Somebody please compare Gordon to Randle. Who is better and why? Who would we rather have, and why?
November 13th, 2012 at 5:37 pm
@43 are you crazy? just wait til WCS explodes hes gone along with poythress… if wiltjer keeps it up he could be leaving for the draft as well.
November 13th, 2012 at 6:27 pm
@52 Randle vs. Gordon is a very interesting question.
As of now, it looks like Randle is both the more polished player currently and has more potential in the long run, although it is very close. Randle is usually measured between 6’9″ to 6″10, while Gordon is 6’7″ to 6’8″. Randle clearly has the size advantage, at 6’9″ or 6’10″ he is the perfect size for a college power forward, while Aaron Gordon is a bit undersized. Gordon maybe marginally more athletic, although they both are unbelievable athletes. Randle seems to have more polished post moves, and he seems better at shooting from mid-range to three-point territory. Randle is ranked ahead by every major recruiting site, so I think its safe to assume we’d prefer him, although Gordon is still an elite top 10 player.
November 13th, 2012 at 6:28 pm
If he doesnt wanna play with the best class in basketball history, then screw em. Like Cal says, we want you but we don’t need you.
