That’s the whole secret to sports, right? Stay calm when everyone else is out of control.” Because I got you that mad in like two minutes. But if I can get you to take a swing at me - or even think about taking a swing at me - then I’ve already won. If I wanted to fight in front of a crowd, I’d go be a boxer. If I really wanted to fight you, we could just go in the back and fight. “I’m not going to fight you right here in the middle of the court. “It’s so funny that people think I want to fight them,” Ware said. Assistant coach Orlando Antigua bear-hugged him, just in case, but Ware quickly retreated to the baseline to bask in the chaos he’d created. When another Florida player came rushing in to shove Ware in the back, Ware wheeled around with a devilish grin on his face. Ware stood over him for just a beat, mean-mugged for a moment, then turned to walk away. When he tried to rip it away, the other guy went flying. You can do it to me, too, if you want.”ĭuring the Florida game at Rupp last season, Ware got tangled up with a Gator as they battled for a loose ball. You can be pissed off, but there’s nothing dirty about it.
Nobody enjoys that, but that’s just basketball. If we’re face-to-face, I might hit them in their chest or their stomach and knock the wind out of them. “If they’re not looking, I might hit them in the back. “The truth is I just box out really hard and that makes people mad,” Ware said. Kentucky outscored them 16-5 to close the half and won comfortably. All that drama and an absurdly long stoppage in play slammed the brakes on the Tide’s considerable momentum. Officials didn’t see it, but Ware made sure they checked the monitor, which led to a technical foul for Miles. He put a body on Alabama’s Darius Miles every chance he got, jawing all the way, until Miles snapped and took a swipe at Ware’s face. The Tide were rolling, on pace to hang 100-plus on the Wildcats, until Ware checked in and did his thing. Late last season, Kentucky trailed Alabama by 10 points at home with under five minutes to play in the first half. Ware is quite good at that, burrowing under an opponent’s skin, poking and provoking until they lose their cool. He succeeded on opening night of Kentucky’s recent exhibition trip, when something he said to the Dominican Republic Select team on its way into the halftime locker room nearly led to a brawl in the well-appointed foyer of a luxury resort. Most of the time, I’m just trying to get people to want to fight me. Fighting can be fun, but it’s really not that serious. “We’re in the Bahamas, right? This is probably not the place to fight. He’s lucky I was in a good mood and just walked away,” said Ware as he unleashed a cartoonish guffaw earlier this month during the team’s foreign trip. His is the face of somebody who loves a fight. The way he sees it, life is both difficult and wonderful, and sometimes wonderful because it’s difficult. That’s just his face most days: slightly battered and totally amused.
He was explaining how he got those two stitches under his left eye. The y-axis in this graph represents the percentage weight of the score that gets applied to an overall team ranking.Lance Ware was smiling. You can see that the area under the curve gets smaller both as the rating for a commit decreases and as the number of total commits for a school increases.
This standard deviation creates a bell curve with an inflection point near the average number of players recruited per team.īelow is a graphical representation of how our formula works. Readers familiar with the Gaussian distribution formula will note that we use a varying value for σ based on the standard deviation for the total number of commits between schools for the given sport. This formula ensures that all commits contribute at least some value to the team's score without heavily rewarding teams that have several more commitments than others. You can think of a team's point score as being the sum of ratings of all the team's commits where the best recruit is worth 100% of his rating value, the second best recruit is worth nearly 100% of his rating value, down to the last recruit who is worth a small fraction of his rating value. In order to create the most comprehensive Team Recruiting Ranking without any notion of bias, 247Sports Team Recruiting Ranking is solely based on the 247Sports Composite Rating.Įach recruit is weighted in the rankings according to a Gaussian distribution formula (a bell curve), where a team's best recruit is worth the most points. Where c is a specific team's total number of commits and R n is the 247Sports Composite Rating of the nth-best commit times 100.
