I'm not saying everything in Kentucky's basketball future has a rosy glow. There are destinations to be determined. Better check the horoscope. But that's the way it is in college basketball. What you have from one year to the next is in almost constant flux.
Players graduate, transfer, defect.
Coaches take a spin on the carousel. Transitory are the times. Until the season starts, no team is sure just what it has on hand. Yet after his surprise six-point showing in Thursday's Sweet Sixteen loss to Southern Cal, I'm not so sure. Facing bigger, stronger athletes, Tayshaun's play inexplicably returned to tepid, returning me to the opinion his still pencil-thin physique would benefit from another year of college hoops.
