From Tubby Smith's vantage point, Kentucky's objective this recruiting season is as obvious as a 7-footer at a Muggsy Bogues lookalike contest.
""I think we need size, obviously," the UK coach said yesterday at the Nike All-America Camp.
Smith then ticked off the reasons it's time to replenish the Cats' tall timber:
n Jason Parker's surgically repaired knee (two anterior cruciate ligament tears) makes his return to dominating status no sure thing.
n Marquis Estill must have a degree by the fall of 2003 to gain an extra season of eligiblity. Otherwise he's gone after next season.
n Senior Jules Camara will be gone after next season.
That leaves UK with freshman Bernard Cote, junior Erik Daniels and question marks for a corps of big men after next season.
"So you need size," Smith said. "That's our primary goal. ... I think we're going to need two big guys."
