• DeAndre Liggins was at Lexington Sports Cards today to sign autographs before he travels to Chicago for the NBA Combine.

    DeAndre was nice enough to wait on me as I was stuck in traffic on a rainy day so I could interview him for Nation of Blue.

      I want to hear Knight talk. Is he not came up with an excuse yet to tell the BBN why he left so early yet, besides to say for the greenbacks? I wish DeAndre the best in the NBA and i appreciate the 3 years in Lex he gave us. I hope he in one of the Cats who wont forget where he grew into a star at and will come back to see us at Rupp soon in the future. He could be the "Y" one day soon hopefully.

      I am amoung the BIGGEST BIG BLUE FANS and don't understand why people are mad at anyone for jumping in the nba. Of course it would be great if we could get our recruits to stick around for the 4 yr. stretch but we are getting the top recruits in the nation.Coach Cal is taking freshman deep in the tournament but these boys can not be blamed for taking millions of dollars and a whole new rewarding life for doing what they love to do.If someone came along and offered you any thingf close to that for doing something you love-could you refuse that? More top recruits are coming and WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP BANNER HANGING IN THE RAFTERS SOON.Good luck to the ones that leave and I hope they rep our state well in the nba but sorry that they won't ever haver the chance to know what winning a NCAA NATIONAL TITLE feels like as a player-

      Knight gave a press conference explaining himself. He's going because his draft stock is through the roof right now and there's a solid class of freshmen coming in, what more do you need to know? This article is based on a reporter tracking Liggins down at an autograph session; it's not as though he decided yesterday morning UK fans needed an some supplementary explanation.

      I never seen no video of a press conference, just a press release. I know what this Article is about. It's Scott Anderson interviewing Liggins at a signing. Sorry but i just don't buy the whole high stock, incoming freshman excuse. He can do what he wants but if he wants BBN to respect him he needs to do some statement at least.

      He did have a press conference. The video was up on KSR a couple of minutes after. And why else would you think he would leave if not for his stock being high. You realize Brandon Knight is not going to be a great NBA player. He will be stealing from a team if they give him top 8 money. If he has that he has to go. Not going would be stupid.

      Pretty sure I'm part of BBN and I respect him plenty. Speak for yourself, BigBlueNation. Very few people on here actually agree with you...

      It doesn't matter if you agree we me or other people do. Everyone has there opinion. You are a very tiny part of the BBN as i am. Believe what you want but i have heard many who don't agree with Knight's departure. If you don't agree with me then state your opinion but don't waste your time complaining about mine.
