We have written here before, and also discussed our opinions of Lyons on our internet radioshow Kentucky Basketball Talk, that Lyons may be a huge risk. The brain-dead UK press is reporting that "we need help" in the back-court but that makes absolutely no sense as the roster is filled with guards.
Guards on UK roster as of today (Scholarship Players Only)
- Ryan Harrow
- Archie Goodwin
- Twany Beckham
- Jon Hood
- Jarrod Polson
If Kentucky signs Mark Lyons, and it certainly appears they will, then I think we can certainly expect a transfer or two. Beckham will be a senior in 2013, so we can expect him to stay put. Jon Hood will also be a senior but with his redshirt last year he will have a year of eligibility, if he transfers and sits out a year. I don't think Polson is going anywhere. I guess we will have to wait and see how this plays out.
