Recalled to Detroit

0 Comments

Tootoo is recalled by the Detroit Red Wings. Tootoo has been playing for the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL, but now he’s on his way back up to the big leagues, Detroit MI.

Helmer would have been in a week ago if it was up to me. That’s why I’m not allowed to be involved in that. But getting ready for summer isn’t a priority. We need guys back. So how can we get them back? Well a guy with a broken foot and broken rib, they’re not coming back. The head one, you never know. We could use anybody available.

Kentucky signs twins

0 Comments

harrisonsThe Kentucky Wildcats sign the twins.  The Harrisons chose the Wildcats over Maryland and SMU.

Andrew: We liked coach (John) Calipari’s fire to win and we want to win a national championship

Aaron: Also, Coach Calipari did not guarantee anything and we liked that.

The pair boost Kentucky’s recruiting class from unranked in the top 25 to No. 1 overall over Florida in ESPN’s 2013 class rankings.
