Tuesday night saw Julius Randle cement his status as the stud of freshman studs, certainly on Kentucky's team and perhaps in the nation.
Randle scored 27 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in UK's 78-74 loss to Michigan State.
That gave him three double-doubles in three games and kept him on pace to be the most productive freshman John Calipari has had in five seasons filled with first-year stars.
Randle's averages of 24 points and 14.3 rebounds surpass the bests for any Calipari player at this stage of his freshman season. Previous bests: Terrence Jones' 22.0 ppg and DeMarcus Cousins' 10.7 rpg.
