May 5th: On this date...

... in 2009, your University of Kentucky Wildcats were getting a point guard they sorely needed as word started spreading of an impending commitment from an Alabama kid simply wanting to "get shit right." No one really knew what Eric Bledsoe was talking about, but we knew he was a top-rated point guard in the Class of 2009 and filled a hole we needed badly. He had no competition for the starting point guard spot, and had a few monsters down low (in fellow Alabaman DeMarcus Cousins and legend Patrick Patterson). The Gillispie Era was over and the new roster was really starting to take shape. One thing our new coach let everyone know: If you're going to be a Kentucky Wildcat, your better have freaky ability or you aren't playing.
