It might not be as sexy as “Boogie” and it might not be as practical as “Mop”, but the dubbing of Josh Harrellson as “Jorts” was the first KSR nickname that really stuck. And while “Jorts” has seen his playing time decrease in this first season after the Billy Gillispie Experiment, the 2008 KSR Man of the Year still remains a fan favorite. Here he shows why in an interview on “This is Kentucky Basketball”.

Wonder what Jorts would have to say to Coach Clyde if he ran into him in a public restroom?

Can we have blogger profiles? I want to trash talk Fake Gimel in mine. I mean, you know, when we put the sticks on, I’m gonna win.

Some goodness from Chad Ford on a slow day. Feel free to use these. Pay attention to the last sentence of each profile in particular…
John Wall, PG, Kentucky
We’ve already drooled over Wall in previous blogs. In fact, for Wall, the question now isn’t whether he’ll be the No. 1 pick in the draft. The question is, how does he stack up against the other elite No. 1 picks over the past decade? Scouts believe he’s already better than the Bulls’ Derrick Rose and one NBA executive told me that he believes Wall will be the third-best No. 1 prospect this decade, behind only LeBron James and Dwight Howard.
DeMarcus Cousins, F, Kentucky
Cousins has actually been putting up pretty impressive numbers at Kentucky for a freshman. But none of the scouts I’ve spoken to lately are in love with how he’s doing it. Clearly he’s very skilled, but he often lacks the energy or toughness that NBA teams want in their big men. He has the ability to dominate all the time, but will only do it in spurts. I continue to hear phrases like “he’s a poor man’s Derrick Coleman.” Ouch.
Rodney Williams, F, Minnesota
Williams was a player who shocked scouts in the early going with three big performances at the start of the year. But since then he’s seen his minutes and production drop sharply. Williams has all the physical attributes you want in a small forward, but either he’s just not ready to use them at the highest level, or, once again, Tubby Smith doesn’t know how to coach NBA prospects.
OUCH.

Ran into Josh at the Tenn football game and the 1st and only thing that came to
my drunken mind was…JORTS! He didn’t seem too pissed about being called such and gave me daps.

Josh is absolutely my favorite player. Loved the 1 on 1 interview. Great kid.

Call me crazy…but I came away from this interview a bit less of a Harrelson fan.

December 15th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
His mouth looks like that of someone who has had all his top teeth replaced with false ones. Are we sure he isn’t from somewhere around Letcher or Knott County?
December 15th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Jorts reminds me of every Louisville fan I have ever seen.

To Be Quite Honest - I can’t believe this guys even on the basketball team! I guess he’s like a “Human Cigar”. When he gets in………Kentucky must be ahead and the game is over. 14, you must not appreciate a true KY Baller…………b/c this guy definitely is playing on a level he doesn’t deserve to play on. My Peace Said!!!
