Ryan Harrow, age 21; has more than potential. Kyle Wiltjer, age 20 when season starts; has excellent potential, will be a star with added strength and experience, shot 55% 3pt in UK's last 25 games, hit 18 of last 29 3pt attempts (62%). Jon Hood, age 21, very good potential. The summer will benefit Wiltjer and Hood tremendously. They both will be an asset to the team. They can provide leadership to the team.
