Florida forward Yeguete expects big season from Kentucky's Cauley-Stein

Yeguete had no idea Cauley-Stein was an all-state receiver in high school.

“That is funny. He must be really fast. That would be fun to watch him on the football field,” Yeguete said. “But he was good in basketball, too. Both he and Noel are good shot blockers. I don’t know if you can compare them. You saw Noel play more games, but they both change the game a lot, and (Cauley-Stein) could really be special next year.”

Cauley-Stein’s Kentucky teammate, Alex Poythress, tends to agree about that.

“Willie has done incredible from the day he got here. He has just got better every day,” Poythress said. “I ain’t never seen a 7-footer that moves like him, jumps like him. He is strong, He is just incredible out there.

“He has been a great friend and great teammate. And you know next year, based on how he improved this year, that he could just be dominant.”
