If reporters at the Southeastern Conference Media Days want to talk to a Kentucky player, Ramel Bradley is their only choice.
Teams have the option to bring one or two players to the Media Days, which run Wednesday and Thursday of this week. If a school brings only one player, he has to be a projected starter.
UK, which answers questions on Thursday, will be one of four schools to bring one player. The others are Florida (Walter Hodge), Vanderbilt (Shan Foster) and Alabama (Mykal Riley).
DeWayne Peevy, the man in charge of SEC basketball media relations, said he hoped to change the guidelines so that teams will be required to bring two players to Media Days.
That Bradley will represent Kentucky seems to further cement the impression that he will be the team leader.
Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.
