Ever since the final buzzer sounded and Kentucky claimed its 8th national title on Monday night, any reporter within a 10-foot radius of Anthony Davis has asked him if he was entering the 2012 NBA draft. (Pssst: I think he will.)

Tickets Available for Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic Presented by papajohns.com

About forty years ago in Louisville, a man I worked for, Max Rein, had a great idea. During the Kentucky Derby week, Have the Kentucky high school all-stars play the Indiana high school all-stars.
