WBN Hot Links: DeMarcus Cousins plans on going at Derrick Favors neck
By Paul Jordan
First off, I can’t hope to fill the shoes of Greg Edwards in doing the WBN Hot links, I can only hope to imitate him. Greg is taking a bit of a break from the day to day working of the site, but he will still be around maybe a couple of times a week so I am left to carry on the legacy he started – the Hot Links.
First off, some very sad news to pass along. The UK Hockey Club lost a leader yesterday when Senior and Assistant Captain Taylor Vit passed away due to injuries received in a car accident on Sunday afternoon. It’s a great loss for the UK Hockey Club and for the University as Vit was well thought of by everyone. If you get time, go out and support the Hockey Cats on their next home game on October 29. They are having a great season with a 7-0 start and deserve your support. Here is a link to their site.
Next, not really a link but some news we missed yesterday. Joker Phillips landed his 20th commit of the 2011 recruiting class in DB EJ May from Alabama. May is considered one of the top players in Alabama and is another speedster. I will try to have a little more of a profile of May on the site later in the week.
Speaking of football, Randall Cobb has wracked up yet another national award for his play against Auburn. Cobb was named the National Wide Receiver/Running Back of the Week and well, the following video shows you why. It’s a bloody shame this kid is not getting more Heisman love.
John Wall sends out some love to the BBN in his interview with Askmen.com. Wall is asked what he misses the most about college and he replies:
"The fans. I miss the whole Kentucky nation, big blue nation, the best fans, the best coaching staff, and the food was great. I miss it all."
It’s a pretty good interview if you have the time. Wall also talks about his opinion on LeBron James, whether one and dones should go to college or play overseas and he plugs his new Reebok shoe.
Keeping with the theme of the antics of the UKNBA5, November 19 will be a date to mark on the calendar. That is when DeMarcus Cousin’s Sacramento Cousins faces off against New Jersey Nets and the third overall pick Derrick Favors. Apparently, Boogie still has a chip on his shoulder about Favors being selected ahead of him. And he plans on exacting his revenge when he faces the players picked before him.
"“I can’t wait to play them because I’m going at their necks, especially the big that got picked before me.”"
Oh that Boogie. I’m sure that David Stern is not a fan of Boogies verbiage and I don’t know about you, but I got a nice warm and fuzzy “Kill Bill” moment when I read that.
That’s it for me for now. Stay tuned to the site for the rest of the day as Corey has his edition of “Today in Wildcat football history” in a few hours, plus Kyle breaks down Joker’2 2011 recruiting class and how these recruits can fit in with next years squad. Plus we will have more throughout the day….
