September 7th: On this date...


... in 2007, Mason County star Darius Miller gives a verbal commitment to the University of Kentucky. This was a huge get for new coach Billy Gillispie, as Big Blue Nation remembers the most recent Mason County star who chose not to go to Kentucky, Tennessee’s Chris Lofton. The fact Gillispie was able to keep Miller in Lexington let everyone know some in-state talent would choose Blue if given the opportunity. Miller had an up-and-down freshman campaign under Gillispie. A campaign that many Wildcat faithful thought he was being held back. Not anymore. Fresh off a gold medal in 2009, Miller was a key cog in the 2010 Wildcat NCAA Tournament run.
