Our good friend (or not) and ESPN College Basketball Analyst Dick Vitale has released his preseason top 40 for men’s basketball. Can you guess who is listed as number one? Would you guess them even if they didn’t win the NCAA last year? Yeah, me too. Anyhow, the highlight (and lowlight all at the same time) is Kentucky listed in the sixth spot.

[B]6. Kentucky:[/B] John Calipari won’t rebuild; he will simply reload. Brandon Knight is the latest diaper dandy to have an immediate impact on a Calipari-led program.[/quote]That is a pretty commendable position for a team that has lost so many players and bringing in so many freshman. Being #6 is certainly the highlight. The lowlight is that the only recruit mentioned was Brandon Knight. Why wouldn’t there be mention of any of the other star recruits or returning players? It’s Dick’s world so we’ll never know. And I guess it really doesn’t matter.
In the meantime, we can enjoy being #6 on Dick’s list.
