With a revamped show intro and audio palette, this new edition of “The Cards & Cats Countdown” is steppin’ it up! Paul and Clay bring you a feature-packed podcast full of news related around Bluegrass athletics. Their first weekly topic is on the NBA Summer League, which features local players such as Terrence Jones, Peyton Siva and Daniel Orton. The boys break down which players will excel in the NBA and what some of them have to do to even make a roster this fall. Another discussion topic is UK and UofL football. Paul breaks down the schedule of each and talks about the likely number of wins for this years’ Wildcats squad, as well as who could be a surprise candidate to beat Louisville in the AAC. Clay gives his take as to why Charlie Strong has to blow out each opponent, and what would make for a successful season in Lexington. Their last topic is 2014 basketball recruiting in the Bluegrass. Louisville already has commitments from Jaquan Lyle, Shaqquan Aaron and Quentin Snyder and are looking for more blue-chip talent to join the group. Clay asks if this is the most talented recruiting class Rick Pitino has had at UofL. Meanwhile, Paul talks about Karl Towns and which five-star prospects will likely join him at UK next year. So tune in for tons of content in this week’s edition of “The Cards & Cats Countdown” podcast, hosted on The Kentucky Blog!
