Meet The Wildcats: PJ Washington Aug 24, 2017

Show notes

The 2017 Meet the Wildcats series on Behind Kentucky Basketball rolls on with a conversation with PJ Washington. Yet another athletic forward, Washington plays with a bit more of a bruising, physical style than Kevin Knox and Jarred Vanderbilt. With that said, he can still handle the ball and shoot it from all over the floor. In this week’s episode, hosts Metz Camfield and Brent Carney talk to Washington about that playing style, how he writes out his goals for the future, his family’s basketball background, growing up being a Kentucky fan and what this year’s Kentucky team will be able to do.

Meet the Wildcats: Jarred Vanderbilt Aug 17, 2017

Show notes

Up next in the Meet the Wildcats series is a conversation with Kentucky freshman wing Jarred Vanderbilt. A hybrid forward out of Houston, Vanderbilt’s love of competition comes through in this interview. While some players may want to go somewhere where they can be the guy, Vanderbilt wants to play around other similar players knowing that it will only strengthen his own game. Among other things, hosts Metz Camfield and Brent Carney talk to Vanderbilt about wanting to play with Kevin Knox and PJ Washington, his love of Houston (and Whataburger), being coached in high school by a former Louisville basketball player and the impact his upbringing had on his basketball career.
