Johnny O'Bryant likes Kentucky
Posted Jul 12, 2009
"I really like [Kentucky], especially since Cal went there," forward Johnny O'Bryant said of Kentucky. "Because he's a one-and-done coach. He coaches players. He only recruits one-year players, and most players want to get to the NBA as soon as possible." O'Bryant, a top-10 prospect in the class of 2011 and a native of Cleveland, Miss., acknowledged that he'd like to follow the example of Rose and Evans. "It makes me feel, if I go (to UK) and I work hard, I can be drafted in the first round," he said. "A lottery pick."
