John Wall who?You won’t see Eric Bledsoe on any magazine covers anytime soon, but it isn’t for a lack of star potential. While he lacks the flash and media attention of Wall and forward DeMarcus Cousins, Bledsoe proved yet again Tuesday night that he belongs in the discussion as one of the best freshmen in the nation.Even on this team of freshman stars, he takes a backseat to no one.Bledsoe, a native of Birmingham, Ala., scored a game-high 25 points to lead UK to an 89-77 win over Florida on Tuesday night in the O’Connell Center in Gainesville, Fla. The win marked the Cats’ 17th straight victory to start the season.Bledsoe was the spark and the extinguisher. His 15 first-half points ignited UK to a double-digit victory in the first half. His 3-pointer and ensuing tip-in with a few minutes left in the game iced a 14-4 Florida run that gave the Gators a 73-72 win with 5:12 to play in the game.The first-year guard finished with a career-high 25 points, seven rebounds and five assists. He hit 10-of-13 shots from the floor, including 3-of-4 from behind the 3-point arc. For the second time this season in just the second true road test of the year, Bledsoe was the most explosive, most calming guard on the floor. Against Indiana, Bledsoe scored a team-high 23 points in the 90-73 victory over the Hoosiers.This isn’t to take anything away from Wall. After all, we’ve seen enough to tell that he’s the most talented player not only on the team, but maybe in the country. But when it comes to road games so far this year, Bledsoe has been the road warrior.His averages in two road games: 24.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists. He’s hit 18-of-23 shots in those two games, and he continues to be Kentucky’s most consistent 3-point shooter, despite entering college with a reputation as a streaky shooter.If anything, Bledsoe was the reason Kentucky won Tuesday night.During UK’s 23-12 run to close the first half, Bledsoe scored 10 points. In the second half when the Cats didn’t look Bledsoe’s way enough, Florida got back in the game. Fittingly, when he had the ball in his hands with a few minutes to go on the 3-point arc, he closed the game with a nothing-but-net 3-point dagger.Freshmen aren’t supposed to do that on the road in the SEC (just ask Kansas freshman Xavier Henry). When you walk into a jam-packed O’Connell Center filled with 12,000-plus maniacs, you’re supposed to waver.Apparently the freshman doesn’t know any better. Credit Bledsoe’s attitude for the road mentality. When Georgia’s Travis Leslie went off last game in Rupp Arena for 20 points, head coach John Calipari looked at his team in the huddle hoping someone would step up and guard Leslie. One player, according to Cousins, stepped up and demanded the duties.Of course, that player was Bledsoe.That mentality, by my guess, is the reason Bledsoe has succeeded on the road. It’s that attitude that has created an opportunity for a much-overshadowed player to blossom in the shadows of Wall and Cousins. If Wall and Cousins decide to make the jump to the pros after this season, Kentucky fans should take comfort in the fact that they’ll likely have a player like Bledsoe, who is just beginning to scratch the surface of his potential, to lead this team.On a team of freshman stars, Bledsoe takes a backseat to no one.
