With his soft touch from the outside and a hook shot that True Blue fans can’t wait to see more of, Kyle Wiltjer has quickly become a fan favorite at Rupp. Kyle’s dad played for 12 years professionally in Europe, 11 years on the Canadian National team, and he was their leading rebounder in the 1984 Olympics. But, as a kid, he wasn’t thinking about Kentucky. “I feel like I played basketball as a pretty good level but the Kentucky’s, the Duke’s, the Carolina’s of the world, they are all honestly at another level,” says Greg Wiltjer.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter’s Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
