Paul Daugherty, a columnist from the Cincinnati Enquirer and my favorite writer of the time — if you don’t read Daugherty’s “The Morning Line,” I highly suggest you do — came to Lexington on Wednesday to talk to freshman point guard Eric Bledsoe.

Daugherty’s column, “Kentucky’s kids are ahead of the curve, but still have a lot to learn,” chronicles the relationship of Kentucky’s freshmen, calling them talented but noting that they still have a ways to go. It appeared Thursday on SI.com.

Of all the columnists I read, Daugherty often hits the nail on the head more than the others, and this column is no different. Daugherty basically calls them studs, the best first-year players a coach can hope for, but says they’re exactly that — first-year players. He says as talented as they are, there are questions as to whether a team dominated by freshmen can win it all.

Check out the column when you get a chance.
