Tom Parker (basketball) edit

  • Article is new enough and long enough. Neutral, no evidence of plagarism and well referenced. Hook is under 200 characters. I would suggest a slight tweak to the hook (may not be essential), since Givens was a future Kentucky standout when the event in the hook occurred, but of course he is not currently a "future" Kentucky standout. Perhaps:
ALT1 ... that watching Tom Parker play helped former Kentucky Wildcats basketball standout Jack Givens decide to attend Kentucky? Rlendog (talk) 01:58, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
I like ALT1 better and propose that should be used. It also makes more sense grammatically. Jrcla2 (talk) 15:53, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
