Randolph Morris

The final piece of Tubby’s 2004 class was big man Randolph Morris. Morris committed on May 5th, 2004.  He commanded the middle for Kentucky’s post for three seasons. He is also at the center of one of Kentucky’s more odd situations with Faxgate 2005. Go to the Google and take a look into that for some fun reading… It is weird.

All in all he was an excellent post player. A big body and skilled post moves allowed him cumulate 1,123 points and 531 rebounds in his three seasons. Morris would go on to declare (again, see above odd situation reference) for the 2007 NBA draft where he would go undrafted and sign with the Knicks as an unrestricted free agent.
