It was a slow day for news in the world of Blue as we are still waiting on players to decide what to do with their futures while everyone sits on their hands waiting.

[*]One bit of news for Nation of Blue was we had our [URL=”http://deadspin.com/#!5791844/heres-video-of-a-kentucky-football-recruit-tackling-a-spring-break-rent+a+guard-into-a-pool”]first link on Deadspin.com[/URL]. Of course you can probably guess if you have ever read Deadspin, it was a link to the Daylen Hall tackle of the security guard in Panama City. That article was also the most viewed on NOB for the second day in a row.
[*]The Jordan Brand Classic is gearing up as we have posted interviews from UKSportsInfo where they interviewed the entire 2011 class today. I am looking forward to the event as it will be the last time we see these guys together before we see them in blue.
[*]I am going to be paying attention to how Kyle Wiltjer plays as he had a tough time playing in front of the home crowd in Portland. I look for him to be more aggressive and hopefully hitting the boards with some urgency. Kyle had a goose egg on the boards last time out and that needs to improve because with our lack of a true big man next year, the Cats will need everyone to rebound consistently game in and game out.
[*]Josh Selby, who played at Kansas this past season after a suspension at the beginning of the year, has thrown his name into the hat for the NBA Draft today. Many think this could play into Trevor Lacey’s decision, especially since he is visiting Kansas soon.
[*]Most of the news today on NOB was NBA related and Boogie of course was in the news again for his antics and not his play. [URL=”http://www.nationofblue.com/demarcus-cousins-ejected-season-finale-6660/”]DeMarcus was tossed last night in the 4th quarter[/URL] and didn’t get to finish his final game as a rookie. ESPN put Cousins on their 2nd team All Rookie team and you can’t help but think he wasn’t on the first team because of his personality issues and not his ability to play basketball.
