Talked to alot of them at the SEC tournament last year. They were absolutely gushing over him.

As you say, they are fine with what they have, but I can tell you one thing, he'd get minutes for them right now. For what that's worth.

I should have followed up on my thoughts more. I don't think the UK team misses him. I'm sure there is a pretty large contingent of fans that would like to have him though since he is a Kentucky kid and that is one of the things they dont really get with Calipari, since he recruits the absolute best prospects around. I would bet there were a fair amount of Darius Miller fans last year for that reason. Their fanbase was upset with Tubby Smith for a lot of reasons (many invalid), but not offering Chris Lofton a scholarship and having to watch him light them up for years was certainly one.

ETA: I also agree he'd get minutes this year.
