With such a rich basketball tradition, the University of Kentucky has been blessed with a multitude of great players in its history. Now, with another decade come and gone, we take a brief look back and attempt to identify the best players at each position from the past 10 years. Before we start, we must remember that, with so many players being taken into consideration for only five spots, there will be many talented players who ...

It's hard to predict what storylines will dominate during a college football season. College football fans generally have a pretty good sense of which teams and players will be the main focus of the media's attention during the season. But there's always that unpredictable element that makes the sport so exciting. Once the ball is kicked off on opening weekend, all bets are off. The speculation ends and the stories start to unfold. Still, there's always ...

  While the Florida Gators have many holes to fill this season, the departure of defensive coordinator Charlie Strong to become Louisville's head coach ranks among the most pressing. To replace Strong, a three-time Frank Broyles Award  finalist, Meyer turned to Teryl Austin, a man who has spent 19 years as a defensive coach in the NFL and college football. Austin, who has spent the last seven seasons as the defensive backs coach for the Seattle Seahawks (2003-2006) and Arizona Cardinals (2007-2009), has ...

Last year, no player in the ACC disappointed me more than John Henson. Of course, I should shoulder some of the blame on this one. My expectations were probably a tad too high (I had the kid winning Freshman of the Year over Georgia Tech’s Derrick Favors). after watching the McDonald’s All-American game and a couple of high school highlight reels. The fact is, there were times last year when John Henson did not look good. ...

Yet another Plumlee brother will be joining Duke for the 2012 season—Marshall Plumlee. You can hear the scoffing already, as the bashers get ready to pounce. Friends and foes alike, contain your excitement over that one for the moment. This year the Blue Devils need the other two, Mason and Miles, to produce and lead them back to the Final Four. The Devils return, in addition to the brothers Plumlee, All-American candidates Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith, ...

Remember a couple of years ago, when it seemed like every high-profile quarterback in the country resided in the Big 12? Gunslingers like Colt McCoy, Sam Bradford, Graham Harrell, Chase Daniel, Zac Robinson, and Todd Reesing helped transform the conference into the ultimate hotbed for quarterbacks and spread passing schemes. Now, with the vacancy of the aforementioned stars come opportunities for young signal callers to show what they can do in the pocket. The Big 12 might ...

For five BCS conferences, the SEC is a thorn in their respective sides. The constant chants, excessive bragging and four straight BCS championships are enough for most of football nation to yell, "Enough!" And yet, we continue to secretly covet their success. We hate that they are winners. We hate that they "share" a team's championship with the entire conference. And yes, we hate the fact that they benefit more in voting than most other teams. ...

Early in his college career Stephen Curry was called "something special." Since that time he has led an unlikely Davidson team to the Elite Eight, scored 30 or more points in his first four NCAA Tourney games, and become a superstar that no one recruited. It may sound ridiculous but it is said that his younger brother could be just as good, if not better, at the sport Steph seemed to perfect at a small school ...

It's so sad to think that this is the final full class that the Big 12 North as we know it will ever produce. So often overlooked is the North due to the dominance of the South in recent years, that I think some great, school-oriented, and very deserving players from the upper half of the conference are overlooked as well. To combat such a problem, I've decided to rank, in order from the least to greatest ...

In any given year, SEC teams usually play a mix of cupcakes and national or regional powers, mostly from the ACC (although the Vols have played a Pac 10 team the past four seasons). In these more high profile-out-of-conference games, teams from the Southeast have had varying levels of success. Alabama had a huge win against Chick Fil A Bowl champion Virginia Tech, but in that same week Georgia was annihilated on the road by ...
