*Derek Willis is practicing and looking impressive. With Willis' offseason incident still lingering, there's been no word from UK as to what his punishment will be. It looks like being suspended from team activities is not happening, and he's made sure to make an impact in practice.

Willis looked good offensively, but also looked good on defense and made a few plays there, one being on Malik Monk. Quicker guards really gave Willis issues thus far in his college career, so him being able to guard guys like Monk and other elite college guards will be huge to him taking on a bigger role with this team.

*Speaking of Monk, this was pretty sweet: He continues to showcase the Derrick Rose-type of explosion and quickness we saw so often during his high school career. Monk may play shooting guard at UK, but he's fully capable of playing the point at a high level.

*You've probably heard by now that Isaac Humphries has looked really good in workouts. As surprised as some are to hear this, it's really no surprise at all when you think about it. Isaac arrived late on campus last year, spent the early part of the season just getting his conditioning up and becoming acclimated to college ball, yet still managed to make big impacts against Duke and Texas A&M.

I thought it was said that Willis was going to be doing some type of community service.

The legal part is done. Maybe the article is referring to any disciplinary action from the head coach.

I believe that's the only disciplinary action we will be hearing about. Community service. Don't believe the team disciplinary action will be made public.

I bet Willis and the team get in shape early with a lot running.
