I’d prefer Kevin Young, Burgess’s ceiling is too low. He’s just the safe pick.

Maybe it’s a stretch but I think there are compelling reasons. Shorter season, even with recruiting for starters.

RalphWiggam

Burgess is a BYU guy?

gwill

No, but he isn't on the cusp of an NBA gig, so seems distinguisable.

In a world where Kentucky hires a coach with 0 NCAA wins, what makes sense?

You can’t put your life on hold and miss jobs that you want. If he wants the job
