Looking at the positives of the Kentucky Wildcats basketball season

 After next season, the Commonwealth renovations should be completed by the start of the 2015 season.  Fans will have a more intimate, upgraded Commonwealth and the plans have Kentucky fans excited.  The big question that has not been answered yet is “How much will these tickets cost me?”  And UK is aattempting to answer that question.  

"Kentucky football fans will have a little time to put some money into their big blue piggy banks to save up for tickets in the renovated Commonwealth Stadium, including some of its new premium seating. The long-anticipated prices for 2015 season tickets, including those prime seats, was released by the school on Tuesday afternoon. Each season ticket will cost $320 (for eight games in 2015) with a specific K-Fund donation required for each level of seating, with costs ranging from $2,500 per seat for the loge level all the way to $100 per seat for several sections in the lower and upper bowls. There also are 25,000 total season tickets available at the $100 and $0 levels. The school based its new prices, which can be seen on the Commonwealth Stadium website (www.thenewcws.com), on other Southeastern Conference schools and schools in state, spokesman Dewayne Peevy said."

There is a lot to like about this incoming football class for UK.  Almost to a man, this class seems willing to put personal gain aside for the chance to make a huge difference for UK football.  Lloyd Tubman is yet another good story.

"Standing before a crowded room at the Newburg Public Library to announce he would play his college football at Kentucky, the Seneca High School senior then volunteered the unthinkable – to sit out next season, if need be, as a redshirt. “When I go through the summer, coach is going to tell me what is best for me,” Tubman said. “I’m not in a hurry to get on the field. I want to be fully developed and ready for SEC football. It’s not just any conference, it’s the biggest, strongest conference and you have to be ready for that.” Tubman’s coach, LaVell Boyd, who spent a few seasons in the NFL, fully supports that decision by his defensive end. “Physically, he’s gifted,” Boyd said. “But when it comes to understanding football and playing football, he’s only been playing three years. He’s still learning. So what Lloyd needs is someone who can hone him in and teach him all the things he needs to know about playing football. “Lloyd has a realistic outlook and that outlook is that he still has a lot to learn,” Boyd added. “He understands that if he’s ready to play, he’ll play. But if he’s not ready to play, the coaches are going to make a good decision for him and have him ready the following season.” Boyd if fine with any decision because he knows the end result will be worth the wait, not just for Tubman but also for NFL general managers. “It’s not every day you find a young man who is 6-5, 230 pounds who can run 4.5, bench over 300 pounds, jump over 36 inches. Those are NFL numbers,” Boyd said. “I think he’s going to have a chance to play in the NFL one day, I really believe that.”"
